    I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor review club. It came in the mail Thursday, put it on my nails Friday and now I am writing the review on Sunday. The instructions are straight forward - two thin coats and then the top coat. My test colour is a delightful light yellow Sun Beached shade. After such a blah winter this colour excited me. So much so that I put it on my fingers and toes. I needed to put an extra coat on because the coverage was a little streaky. I've had the colour on for almost 2 days and it has lasted longer than other brands have. I do love the colour but it is starting to show wear at the tips and sides. Like little cracks. I do have bendy peely nails. I will update this post at the 7 day mark...so far I am mixed about the product.

    I've got free CND Vinylux Weekly Nail Polish and Top Coat to test. I had very high expectations, and really wanted them to work, since I am yet to find nail polish that can survive on my nails longer than 5 days. That being said, this one is not the one. After only 3 days of regular housework (laundry, dishes etc), it started chipping and peeling off, although I gave it very long time to completely dry off.

    Positives are that that it did dry really fast and was very shiny, and it has no nasty ingredients. Negatives, besides not being long lasting is that it came on really streaky, especially the second coat. The top coat fixed it a bit, and the color being light it was not very visible, but it still bothers me. I think this particular color (Fragrant Freesia - very light pink with white glitter) would have looked nicer with only one coat, but I wanted to follow the instructions on applying it. Maybe that is just my preference. It looks nicer in pictures than close-up.

    Compared to other polishes I use, I would say this one is average. It is in line with drugstore nail polishes I tried, and even some of them apply better than this one. Compared to higher end ones, like Formula X, I don't think it comes even close.

    Ok I'll start with the positives.I love that the CND Weekly Polish and Topcoat doesn't have a strong smell and it dries really really fast. However it didn't last a week on me, it started chipping by the second day and by the 4th there wasn't one nail left 'complete'. This may last longer on someone who doesn't do much with their hands but I'm a Stay at home mom of 2 little kids and the constant washing of little bodies may not be compatible with this. Thanks for the opportunity to test and review this product. I got this free from CND VINYLUX via Chick Advisor in exchange for an honest review.

    I got the shade Wild Moss and the matching clear top coat free from ChickAdvisor. To prep my nails I swiped them with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils and help the polish stick. The formula for Wild Moss was frustrating. It was very streaky and I had to do some careful touching up to fill in some sheer spots. The instructions said to use two thin coats, but I really needed three. I didn't know how a third would affect wear time though so I stuck with two. The top coat's formula was very easy to work with and dried to a shiny finish.

    Now for wear time. I am on my 4th day and do have some tip wear and some very tiny chips. However, what I've noticed is that the edges beside the wear don't instantly lift and cause the chip to grow like I find with other polishes.

    I do own a different shade (purchased by me before this campaign) which I haven't tried yet. I'm hoping the colour formula is better than Wild Moss because I do see improved wear time with this system.

    I received this product free as a part of the product review club here on chick advisor, and I received it in the color Salmon Run (not the best color for my skin tone but as it was sent free I couldn't complain haha). When I applied the product, it went on smoothly and dried fast. I did two coats of the color which looked fine, and then added the top coat which made it look much better. However, the claim that this product will last a week did not stand true with my testing. I am currently on break between semesters at school so the most I am doing with my hands is cleaning the house. I found with even a bit of light cleaning (ie. washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning off the bathtub and sink) the polish was chipping. I'm not sure if this is because I did not use a base coat, but I do believe that you are not supposed to need a base coat with this product. All in all, it was kind of a dud for me. Unless you're not going to be doing much of anything with your hands, then I do not recommend it.

    I recieved a bottle of #181 salmon run from chick advisor in exchange for a review. I personally do my nails weekly and usually remove when it chips so most weeks never get though a full week of wearing polish. This polish sounded like it would be perfect but I couldn't get it to apply without looking streaky or lumpy no matter what I did. I felt the brush tip was too thin ( causing the streaks because I had to go over my nail several times. It was a lite colour so it may have been just the formula on that color ( I'm on the hunt now to find it in stores so I can test other Colors to be sure) I did leave it on two accent nails for the week just to test it out and it did last 5 days without chipping. I used the top coat on all nails and was very happy with the results of that. The smell was not strong on either. It gave a gel like shine which was very nice. Over all although I was not thrilled with the streaks I feel that not all Colors would be so bad

    I was really excited to have a manicure last 7 days. I also liked that this product is free of some nasty chemicals and fast drying. I got the colour Mint Convertible. It looked a lot more beautiful on the nails than it did in the bottle.

    I found the nail polish very thick, so it was difficult to apply thin coats per the instructions. I followed the instructions and did my best to apply 2 thin coats to my nails and then applied the top coat.

    I found it applied very streaky with 2 thin coats. So, on my other hand I applied 3 coats so it was thicker and wasn't streaky looking. The product did dry very quickly.

    The hand with 3 coats looked like a beautiful manicure. The hand with the 2 coats was too sheer and streaky. But, the hand with only 2 coats lasted much longer than the hand with 3 coats. I had chipping of the polish within 2 days on the hand with 3 coats, and chipping on hand with 2 coats within 3 days.

    At the end of the 7 days the hand with the 2 coats of polish faired much better than the hand with 3 coats of polish in terms of not chipping. The trade off was that the manicure with 2 thin coats looks streaky although it lasted longer.

    Perhaps I got a bad batch since it was so thick. Or maybe it takes some practice to get it right.

    In the picture that I have shared the top left pic is fresh after the manicure. The bottom left picture is the hand with 2 coats of polish on day 7. The picture on the right is the hand with 3 coats of polish on day 7.

    Unfortunately, based on my experience I would not purchase this product.

    I received the product free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, all opinions are my own.

    I was chosen to review CND Vinylux weekly Polish through Chick Advisor. I put on the nail polish and top coat just like the directions said but its day 3 ans I got to remove it. It's coming off my nails. I have been doing laundry ans dishes and regular mommy housework and I've noticed ita chipping and I got to take it off my nails. Good got anybody who doesn't get their hands dirty. The color I was given was rose brocade and I love the color. Bright and bold.

    I am someone who takes very good care of my nails, and always have my nails manicured (at home) and polished. I normally can get at least 5 days out of a good manicure already (usually OPI), so I had high expectations for a polish that professes to last a week. As part of this review, I received a Salmon colour Polish + Top Coat.

    I prepared my nails as normal for a polish, and did not do a base coat, as per the instructions. My initial impression of the polish is that it is quite thick and streaky. I did two coats plus the top coat, as per instructions. The consistency reminded me of nail polish that is close to its end date. It did not provide a consistent colour coverage of my nails, not professional looking. Perhaps a third coat would have done so, but I was following the instructions for this review.

    I didn't care for the look of the polish, but I kept it on in order to test the one week claim. By day 4 (see pic), the tips of my dominant hand were all chipped off. The lines from the second coat also became quite visible, almost as if it was lifting. Very strange, as I'm used to a flaw free finish from polish, and can get more time out of a regular polish.

    Removal was just as easy as any polish, and despite the no base coat, did not stain my nails.

    I was pleased to try this as I had been wondering about this line, but I would not buy it or recommend it. Too streaky, not a flaw free look, and did not last a week.
