Quick Dry Nail Polish Reviews

Admittedly, I bought this because I needed a black polish and my local chemist only had this brand, so I picked up Blackest Black.
The formula is nice (and free of nasties), not too thin or thick. It's definitely a two-coater (as are most polishes!) and if you're not too heavy-handed with your coats, it may in fact dry in 30 seconds.
Blackest Black is super glossy, opaque and for the price I was very happy with my purchase and will likely grab another when needed.

This nail polish is the worst in my collection. I needed a basic black since I've been trying to get more into nail art, and I thought black would be a fairly easy colour to get right.
First of all, it applies streaky and kind of clumpy. The nail polish on the brush wasn't a smooth polish like i was anticipating, it was very very thick, but somehow not opaque. It took around fifteen minutes to dry enough for me to apply a second coat.
It started to chip after the first two hours (This is with a good base and top coat by the way). So I removed it and tried it on my toenails, since I wanted to get SOME use out of it, but it chipped there too. Not a week has gone by and it's almost all gone, when usually I can get at least a fortnight out of toenail polish.
You're better off spending a few extra dollars and getting some sally hansen.

DB cosmetics is cruelty free , which is awesome and a reason why I love their cosmetics range. I was kind of disappointed because it's not quick dry and that's why I bought it in the first place. I got the shade " Raven Black " . The surface does dry in about 30 seconds, but you can still get dents in the the polish when you press onto your nail. Not sure if i'd recommend.

I bought this with some of my points in Beautorium 2016.
I am very happy with my colour choice, Watermelon Gold.
It is absolutely gorgeous. It comes in a cute, tall, square bottle, with a square lid. It is so easy to open, with being this shape.
It is easy to apply and the brush is well shaped and sweeps the colour on smoothly and streak free.
You could get away with one coat, but I applied two, it is true, it dried very quickly, but I would still have to be careful afterwards not too spoil the finish.
It lasted a fair amount of time, but obviously is not a gel finish.
I will look out for other shades, it has a reasonable price, so it would be nice to stock up with other colours.
One plus is, it doesn't have an overpowering smell.

558 Ballerina Pink is the palest pastel pink creme colour. This nail polish claims to dry in 30 seconds: maybe not 30 seconds, but it's a LOT quicker than other nail polishes. Instructions say to apply two thin coats, but I don't get complete opacity with only two coats. Three coats leaves some streaky patches too, especially when my nails are longer.

The brush is easy to use, so I don't make the usual mess of myself. The great brush doesn't make up for the bad coverage.

ENDURANCE? Average for me, 2-3 days.
REPURCHASE? No.

The bottle! Ugh! It's so stylish with its square shape, or at least it was when it was new. Do you think I can get the lid to go on straight? NO! I keep unscrewing the lid, then moving it around before I screw it back on, but I can't get it to go on straight. I go through this routine every single time I use this nail polish! It's ridiculous the amount of time I obsess over this. After the first use, I've never been able to get the corners of the lid to match up with the corners of the bottle. I know this is a minor flaw, but it really bugs me.

I have this is Pearl Beige which is a colour that reminds me of the nail polish colour I wore as a teen in the 1980's era. It's much better though because it's a 'uniform' colour - there is no streakiness like the one's I remember in this colour. It flows on easily off the perfect applicator brush - seriously a wonderful excellent quality brush! I don't know if it's just lucky in the bottle that I got but this brush amazing! It allows the varnish to super easily be applied to my nails.

The pale Pearl Beige colour is easy to apply as well because it's such a fair colour: a pearly pale pastel pink. This colour is beautiful on because it gives my nails a healthy natural-looking super sheen. It's gorgeous! It could be worn anywhere for any occasion.

It does dry very quickly too - within the promised 30 seconds. I can't fault this nail polish!!!!

I loved this intense colour nail polish, I even like this more than the Essie nail polishes. The brush is better, the colour intensity is better and I didn't need to apply more than 1 coat! There are no streaks and it's not gluggy. Bordeaux Red is the colour I have and I definitely would recommend this nail polish, it's up there with the best in my opinion!

The first feature of this polish which caught my eye was the packaging! I really like the shape and style of the bottle. It's a nice, sturdy, solid shape and I much prefer the square lid as opposed to regular circular ones on most nail polish bottles!

I was skeptical to believe the quick dry in 30 seconds as the brand claims with this nail polish. However I was really surprised that it did actually dry almost immediently after applying two coats! I don't think I have ever used another nail polish as fast drying as this one!

The shade I have is called 'Watermelon Gold' which is a gorgeous slightly pale red/burnt orange with super pretty gold shimmer throughout it which gives is a subtle glow. It's really lovely and a great Summer shade!

Another major point to note with this polish is the normally powerful polish odour is barely noticable with this polish. Whenever I usually paint my nails my husband is the first one to complain. Yet each time I have used this when he's been in the room, he hasn't even noticed or said a word!

A bargain and I will be picking up more shades to try soon, as a busy mum I NEED fast drying polish like this! Perfect!
