Just tried the weekly polish by CND Vinylux tonight. I Luke that it is 7 free: free of toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, phthalates, formaldehyde resin, xylene, or lead. The polish was smooth and fast drying. This is day one of the 7 day chip resistant wear. So fast I like it!

First of all, I loved the colour I received. I thought it was black, but pleasantly surprised #140 Regally Yours is a deep purple! I also liked that it did not have a strong polish scent when I opened the lid!!
I put 2 coats of the weekly polish and 1 top coat. The weekly polish is quite sheer and really needed the 2nd coat. Since I work with my hands and lift products a lot, I wish I had put 2 of the top coats on. It did last a few days before I had any major chipping! I think my friends would like it too.
I was very fortunate to have received this polish from the Product Review Club. I got the colour #181 Salmon Run, which is a very pretty light coral. The colour is very office friendly and goes great with a tan, perfect for spring and summer.
The application was a bit streaky, and it was quite tough to get an even coat. My hands are normally quite skilled at applying polish but I had a lot of difficulty with this. It looked like I missed some spots even though I applied two coats.
I applied the top coat and waited for the polish to set until I thought it was dry enough to do normal activities, but the polish dented even the next day after taking a warm shower. I usually don't have this kind of trouble, and was disappointed that the initial uneven application looked even more messed up the day after.
I wouldn't recommend this particular shade, despite it being a beautiful colour. Maybe the other colours will fare better.
I received CND Vinylux polish in Dandelion and top coat from chickadvisor in exchange for my review. I was excited to receive this and try it out as I am a huge polish fan and had never tried this brand before. I tried it right away, the brush was a nice size and made for a nice application although I did notice the polish was streaky in a couple places. I opted for 2 coats color and 1 coat topcoat and overall it was good coverage other than the odd spotty part. The formula goes on almost matte but once you put topcoat over it gets a nice shine an feels satiny.
The polish dried extremely fast which was exciting as I usually have to wait at least and hour with other polishes. Once dry the formula is very thin on nails, almost feels like you have no polish on at all. I didn't get any chipping or peeling. Overall I am really impressed and would definitely recommend :)
Thank you chick advisors for giving me the opportunity to try the nail polish and top coat by vinylux. I have had it on my nails now for almost a week and there hasn't been any chipping or wear. I just love this product. Application is smooth and blends on your nails perfectly. It looks like a professional actually did my nails. I normally use a high price point nail polish for the above reasons. Now I have found an affordable product that works the same. I am very pleased with the results. I will definitely be buying additional colors in the future. Love it!

The lovelies at Chick Advisor sent me Sultry Sunset #168 and the Weekly Top Coat to test out.
Overall: I do like the product. I wasn't thrilled at the colour I received until I actually painted my nails with it, then I fell in love. The product goes on smooth - if you do thin coats. A little goes a long way. The polish dries quickly between coats if they are thin, as well :) Not a horribly offensive smell like many other polishes.
Wear: The polish and top coat claim "weekly", although I never quite made it a week without chips. In the defense of the nail polish - my job is very hard on fingers, constantly hitting the ends of them off of metal. The longest stretch I have made without chips was 4 days, which again, with my job, I find considerably good since most polishes don't last one shift without chipping.
I like the shine this polish has, and I also like the added strength it seems to give my nails when I am wearing it.
The price point is a bit off for me, maybe if it were a couple dollars cheaper, I'd be more sold on it.
In the end: I find this to be a decent product that lives pretty close to it's claims. I wouldn't hesitate to share this product with a friend as I think it is fairly good quality under normal circumstances. I would probably purchase it if it were on sale, not so sure I'd pay full price for it though.
I received CND™ VINYLUX™ Weekly Polish for free from ChickAdvisor Product Review Club to review.
I was so excited to try CND™ VINYLUX™ . I received the Fragant Freesia #187. It is very light and not a colour I would have chose, but surprisingly I like it. I try to apply a thin coat on the first try but it was too tick and I found it applied very streaky. So I remove it and try again. I was able to apply a very thin coat and it still look kind of streaky, I let it dry and apply a second coat. It look really good not streaky at all. After it dried I apply the top coat. It was easy to apply and I love the shine. It as now been 6 days and my nail still look good.
I recieved Sultry Sunset #168 & top coat free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
The color is a frosty berry color, not the usual shade I would wear, I am more into light neutrals, blues, black and silver . Even though it is not a color I would personally buy , it is a lovely shade.
When applying it is not too thick or thin, and probably could have gotten a way with one coat in this shade. Went on smoothly and dried extremely quickly and looks very glossy. With most polishes in my experience reds & berry colors are usually easier to apply and have a better consistency , so I am curious how other shades would be. I love the top coat and will continue to use it with other polishes.
I wash my hands a lot maybe too much and work on the computer all day so unfortunately for me it did start chipping/peeling within 3 days.
PROS:
Applies smoothly
Top Coat is Wonderful
Dries Quickly
CONS:
Started chipping/peeling within 3 days
Ok, let me preface this by mentioning I suck at nails. Painting them - nope, waiting for them to dry - nope, being careful with my hands - nope. Iv'e been known to destroy shellac in two days and rip off tips the moment there is a slight lift.
So with that in mind I was actually pretty happy with how the Vinylux lasted. I'm on day 4 and there are only some small chips at the tips. Normally I would have spent the last two days obsessively scraping at the larger chipped areas until all the polish was scraped away but the chips are small enough that they aren't bugging me so I can watch tv in peace instead of scraping away showering the couch in tiny little pieces of polish.
The only complaint I had is it was a bit of challenge to apply - not sure if it was the brush or the texture but was hard to get it even and smooth - however let me reiterate that I suck at painting nails too (which actually is rather surprising since I'm an artist who paints).
I was excited to receive this product to try as part of the Product Review Club. My usual brands of nail polish is OPI and Zoya. I like Zoya because it is a vegan product. That said I was happy to see that CND VINYLUX has less of the harsh chemicals that normal nail products contain. I am pleasantly surprised by this product. My job requires me to do a lot of typing which makes it nearly impossible to keep a manicure, however, I applied CND VINYLUX over 7 days ago and it is still going strong. The top coat adds shine and definitely made the color brighter. I would recommend this product to anyone. Also looking forward to using it over other colors I already have in my collection.
