So this is the review to the new nail polish in the Bourjois "Paris Dehli Shanghai" Fall-Winter collection of this year.
This is my first nail polish of the 10 Days Anti-Choc No Chips range, so I tried it wearing only a base coat, two coats of nail polish and no top coat (just one drop of my drop dry stimulator), so I could check in a fair manner the duration of the formula.
Results: It didn't last more than 24 hrs without the first minor chip at the end of the nail!
I'm starting the review with the only negative point I found to the nail polish, simply because it comes with the name and after such poor results I did feel quite dissapointed.
Apart form that, all the rest is goody goody.
The formula is very pigmented and fluid. With just one thin coat you get all the intensity of the colour, applying the second coat gives you wonderful results. Since you just need to apply a thin coat, the drying times are short. The application I found a little tricky at first, because I wasn't used to the shape of the brush (angled) but the formula is very runny so that helped a bit making it easier to apply.
Talking about the angled brush... it is perfect for touch-ups, and since I needed touch-ups since day 2, it was very welcomed. After the experiment what I did was do all the touch-ups and finish with top coat to protect the polish, with that it lasted 4 more days in very good conditions.
The colour is a beautiful mixture of a faded shade of army green and grey. Altough it is kaki, it doesn't look "muddy" or dirty because it is very pale. It is pure laque with no shimmer. It looks great in hands and feet and it does match pretty good with my skin tone. So I'm liking this colour very, very much. Beautiful for fall and winter.
Strong points:
The colour
No shimmer
Fluid formula
Quick drying times
Touch-up brush
Not-so-strong points:
The duration of the formula
Hope this was useful.
