David Jones- Fast Dry Nail Enamel Shade-Ballet Review

Livia’s Summary: Mostly everyone liked this nail polish. Except for one of our panelists we found it to last reasonably well. Even though we all tried the “Ballet” colour, the selection in the range is quite good. It is a nail polish worth trying if they have the colour you are after.

Description: Apply 2-3 coats. Avoid heat. Do not use near flame. Shake well.

Price: $9.95 (15ml)

Overall Rating

Skin Type: Extremely Sensitive Dry Skin.
Value for Money: This is a good vaule nail polish at under $10.00.
Comments: I liked using this nail polish because it is Formaldehyde and Toluene free. I always try to use products that are least likely to cause irritations. It lasted well on my nails without much chipping.

Skin Type: Normal Skin.
Value for Money: I will buy the exact shade – perfect for work and very affordable.
Comments: With an easy-to-control brush and smooth texture, it’s easy to get hot-looking nails. You do need 2-3 coats to get the best result and it will last for three days. The “ballet” shade looks fresh and neat, and it goes with any occasions.

Skin Type: Combination Oily Skin.
Value for Money: Even though this polish is not expensive I believe it is probably an average product, some cheaper polishes are on par with this one. I would not buy it again for myself.
Comments: The polish had the usual nail polish smell, which was as strong as they usually are. The polish I got was a creamy texture, which needed the three coats to achieve a solid colour; the two coats were still blotchy. I found that the first 2 coats dried reasonably fast, but the third coat (as they recommend) took a lot longer to dry. I managed to smudge/chip the polish within hours. Because of the creamy texture once the polish had dried, it peeled off extremely easily in one piece! I prefer a polish that lasts longer. Maybe the metallic formulations would be better.

Skin Type: Combination Skin.
Value for Money: I believe this product is great value for money, I found the product long lasting and I would definitely buy it for myself.
