Nice Polish

No, I don't recommend this

Good brush makes product easy to apply. Two coats provides good coverage and creates a lovely colour - fresh and clean, and very flattering. However, staying power is not good. Polish, even with a top coat, chips easily and only last a couple of days, which is disappointing.

Natural looking nails.

Yes, I recommend this

A great high quality product. Nail treatment (helps strengthen nails) and varnish in one. Makes your nails look like a professional manicure. Use three coats for best effect. Stays on for at least four or five days.

Better

Yes, I recommend this

Used this a couple of times as a base coat and I must say that when I took the nail polish off my nails were in a much better state than they usually are (without using this.) Also the nail polish does seem to stay on better when I use this.

If you don’t like a lot of colour but you want your nails to look healthy this is a good product to use I bought for a wedding so it wouldn’t clash with my guest dress and I’ve not stopped using it it’s lovely .

Nice finish.

I ordered this after reading the reviews, yes it appears to brighten your nails but I think you have to make sure not to overload the brush, less is more, I did 2 coats and I also put a top coat over it and I did like the overall effect but it only lasted a couple of days before chipping, will continue to use bottle but don’t think I would re purchase.

Apply 2 thin coats for a great look. Dry quickly if applied thinly. Leighton Denny products are the best.

Great

I only want to have clear polish as I use my hands a lot during the day (and hate removing gel polish). This goes on easily, produces a luminescent shine just as it says, and seems to do my nails good ( or perhaps it's the attention I give them before and after using this!). Makes my hands and rings look good!

Happy Find

Yes, I recommend this

I use this when I want or need a break from a gel manicure and use this for giving my nails a little polished look without damaging them. For me one coat is enough to just give my nails enough of a brightening loo

I have had this on my nails for 8 days and it hasn’t chipped or flaked. It is a lovely nude sheen on my dry nails and has made them feel stronger. Fantastic product

Great product

Yes, I recommend this

This does what it claims to do. It actually makes my nails look a healthy natural colour with that bit of gloss. Far better than clear nail polish if your nails are not naturally that healthy pink colour.

Beautiful Effect

Yes, I recommend this

This nail brightener & illuminator did exactly that. I wore two coats after deciding it made my nails look nice enough to wear alone. Usually, I wear nail polish to hide my nails under colour, but this gave me a natural and alternative to a bog-standard nude. I can’t say I’ve used it enough to see a big difference, but I am impressed with how it looks on nails and how long it lasted without a base or topcoat. It’s worth a try if you a looking for nude with a twist. Just ordered another for my daughter.
