For starters, thanks again for choosing me for this product review. What girl doesn't love new nail polish.

I would like to say that I applied three very thin coats (even though two were instructed) as the colour seemed streaky and faint. It would not go on smoothly as was very runny. Overall this product dried very quickly. Way quicker than any other brand of nail polish that I have personally tried. The top coat is absolutely flippin' amazing!

The nail polish did not last the full week as indicated but lasted close to. Overall I'd say I have half n' half feelings about this product. Not bad but not great!

I was selected by Chick Advisor to try the CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish for free in return for an honest review.
I applied two thin coats of the colour to my left hand as instructed, but I found that it didn't go on evenly, and I was left with pretty spotty nails. On my right hand, I applied 3 coats to see if that made a difference, and I have to say that it wasn't much better.
The polish dried very quickly between coats, and the top coat is amazing - very thick and makes your colour shine, while also drying very fast, which is a must for me as I always mess up newly done nails.
They didn't last a full 7 days, but on the plus the polish peeled off with ease when I decided that it wasn't looking presentable anymore.
Overall I liked the colour and the top coat, but it was too spotty of coverage for me.

I received this product from Chick advisor. I didn't love the color I received, but I grew to really like it as I wore it. Was the perfect nude for my skin tone, though I hated the sparkles.

First, it goes on streaky and by no means dries quickly. Took forever to beagle to do the top coat. Also, I'd astray this color needs at least 4 coats. I did 3 and it wasn't enough.

The polish does last longer than regular polish but didn't last me 7 days. I received it on a Monday, and applied it the same day. By Saturday afternoon I had to taker off because I couldn't stand how it looked. It was nice and hard and helped my nails grow out, but isn't anything like gel polish "without the light". I Willie guying again, he in a darker color for sure.

I love the way it goes on only one coat needed. I love how it shines with the top coat, and it dries amazingly fast, The only thing I noticed is that on me it chips very easy but I also have brittle nails. I am going to keep using both of them I am going to re-apply every other day and see if it strengthens my nails . I really do like the product, Thank you for allowing me to try it, I will post a pic when I do my nails later today. :)

I have used this product twice in the last couple of weeks and am pretty impressed with the results. I received a light purple shade (Thistle Thicket #184) and it is a very pretty light purple/greyish colour that is quite neutral.

My first experience with the CND Vinylux nail polish and topcoat was ok. I followed the instructions my cleaning my nails, applying two coats of the nail polish followed up by a coat of the top coat. I found that two coats of the nail polish wasn't enough and left some of my nails streaky and not a nice solid colour. I did the manicure a day or so prior to doing a lot of work outside and work with my hands in water, and as a result it didn't last very long. Once the nail started to chip, most of the polish peeled off pretty easily. I wasn't overly impressed with the product as it didn't last any longer than my normal nail polishes do.

I then gave the nail polish and top coat a second chance. I applied 3 coats of the nail polish and that gave a much better - more uniform look to my nails. I then applied the top coat as normal. This was 5 days ago and, for the most part, my nails still look great. A couple nails could use a touchup, but it's not really noticeable with the light colour.

I am pretty impressed with the CND Vinylux polish and top coat. It doesn't require any additional steps than using regular nail polish and will last quite a bit longer. The top coat gives the polish a great shine that is still going strong after 5 days. There are tons of colours to choose from and the price is comparable to other salon grade nail polishes. It is also nice that free from 7 chemicals that are usually found in nail polish

I received the CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish and Top Coast as a trial for free in exchange for my honest review of the product. Both my 16 year old daughter and I each have tried it to give it a good try. We both enjoy the color Salmon Run #181, it's a great neutral that will go with anything. Personally I found it to go on quite thin and streaky. It did dry on the first coat fairly quickly, but the second coat didn't seam to fill out all the unevenness and I needed to put a third coat on to pull off the proper color that it needed. This did result in a LONG drying period. (It also ended up causing two smudges...ugh) The top coat is Awesome though! Love the top coat!! It went on so easy. Probably one of the nicest and easiest ones I've used in a while.
Now, the downfall...next day I had chips already (maybe because I had 3 layers plus the top coat?) I did a touch up to mine and it seemed to be good for the next two days then started chipping again. My daughters went for three days before she started noticing little chips on hers and I suggested just touching up and a quick top coat to protect it.
I'm going to give it another go and see if two coats will get get me closer to the one week.
Cheers

The colour I received was Cerulean Sea #171. I am a lover of all things blue and this polish was no exception. It's a gorgeous vibrant blue creme, the perfect summer shade! Although the directions said to apply the colour directly to the bare nail, I applied my own base coat as I did not want to stain or ruin my nails especially because the brand and product is new to me. I applied 2 coats as per the directions but found the formula to be streaky and I had some parts that dragged so I applied a 3rd. The 3rd layer helped but there was still some streaks! After the colour dried I applied the weekly top coat. I found it difficult to work with for a multiple of reasons. Firstly, I experienced bubbling no matter how fast or slowly I applied it. Secondly, it wasn't as self-leveling as I had hoped it would be. There were still some visible streaks but I'm not sure if it was from the colour polish or the top coat. Lastly, I left my nails to dry for over an hour and I still experienced some denting. I've now been wearing the polish for a week now - my dominant hand shows some serious tip wear whereas my left hand looks pretty good still! Both hands have no chipping but do have some scratches and are not as shiny as when it was first applied. I think there are much better options out there in terms of top coats. The colour is nice but formula wasn't the best.

As part of the ChickAdvisor Review Panel, I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. CND Vinylux Weekly Polish is a 2 step process - the colour (I received a pale pink with clear flakes in it called Fragrant Freesia #187) and the CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat.

I'm torn on this. I didn't care for the colour or formula that I received. I felt the clear flakes make it look lumpy, like they were bubbles in the polish and the colour was so close to my skin colour it looked odd. I didn't deduct stars for that, however, as everyone has different tastes. I was disappointed, though, that there was no way I could get an even application with this colour if I only used 2 thin coats of colour as directed. I *had* to use three or it was a streaky mess.

I followed directions to thoroughly cleanse hands and nails, but I did use three instead of 2 thin coats in order to make it look somewhat presentable. I then finished with the Vinylux Weekly Top Coat as directed. This system says you don't need a base coat, so I didn't use one.

I will say this - it didn't peel off in strips like so many other polishes I have tried. And it lasted longer than DIY polish typically lasts on me - I woke up with some chips on day 6. That's pretty good, but it still falls a bit short of its claim.

As I have the topcoat now, and it did last longer than I expected, I do plan on buying a bottle of the polish in another colour to give it another shot. I liked that it was faster to do a manicure than it typically is with regular polish as I didn't need a base coat. It did last longer than I expected it would (I don't think it is possible to have any DIY manicures last 7 days on me - Shellac maybe, but not typical polish - I'm too hard on my hands). I'm going to try another colour and see if I like the finish better. The increased wear-time and reduced time of application were bonuses for me. I do not recommend the Fragrant Freesia colour because it was too streaky and sheer to look nice with the recommended two thin coats. I will update this review once I have tried another colour.

Test #1:
The directions clearly stated that you need only two thin coats of colour and one coat of topcoat, so I decided to forego my usual basecoat application for the first test. The colour #181 Salmon Run does not apply well. I found it to be very streaky and it required a third coat to achieve any opacity. I made sure to cap the tips with both the colour and topcoat. I applied the polish around noon and had several chips by dinner time. By the following day, almost every nail was chipped and peeling. I figured it was likely due to the lack of base coat, so I removed the polish and began test #2.

Test #2:
For this test, I first applied one coat of Glisten and Glow's Stuck on Blu Basecoat (my go-to) and then three coats of the colour polish and one coat of topcoat, making sure to cap the tips again. The application was still streaky, but it lasted much longer with the addition of the basecoat underneath. I'm now on day 6 of this manicure, and only have one small chip on the tip of my thumbnail.

The colour I received was pretty finicky, as are most lighter creme polishes, so I'd definitely be willing to try Vinylux again with a different shade. The wear was great, as long as I used a basecoat, and the high-shine finish remained in tact throughout the week. The price is a little bit higher than I normally spend on salon brand polish, but is on par with most of the indie brands I buy, so I wouldn't mind putting the money out for a few shades that I really like. If you like your manicures to last a full week, I would definitely recommend Vinylux, but if you change your polish often, it may not be worth the money.

As part of Chickadvisor's Product Review Club, I recently got the opportunity to try out CND Vinylux nail polish and topcoat! Surprising as it may seem, I've never tried this brand before. While I have used long wear topcoats before (set by UV in the sun, not by a lamp), I've not ever used CND's version. I am a shellac wearer but I always get that done in a salon, by a professional. Shellac (gel polish) is my choice when I will be travelling and don't want to take polish with me. I've never really trusted traditional polishes to last for a full business trip and still look professional and un chipped for any given meeting.

The shade sent to me for review was Tango Passion, a purple leaning pink shimmer. Importantly, the review package included the weekly top coat. The polish itself is pretty and has an interesting shimmer to it. I used 2 coats for a nice, opaque finish. The formula is workable and pleasant. I didn't have significant pooling or streaking, although the shimmer did want to show brush strokes in some lights, so careful application is important.

What's important to note is the topcoat. This is the magic that actually made my manicure last for the full week. You can tell you're dealing with a long term topcoat when it comes in an opaque black bottle. This is because the topcoat hardens and cures with regular UV light. That means, spending some time out in the sun actually makes your manicure stronger!

The top coat and color coat don't necessarily have to be used together, but doing so will help the polish live up to its claim of lasting, chip free for a full week.
