I'm glad I didn't pick it up at full price, $7.99 is too steep for a ds polish, IMHO.

I think it's a very very true red, and I love the fact it dries fast and it's shiny when it dries. <br /><br />I also have Pat on the Black and Midnight in NY and Gray by Gray to replace some similar colors that were destroyed, I'll let you know how they look.<br /><br />keep up the awesome work!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822239026750564095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-51519376143118839882010-07-13T20:56:21.707-07:002010-07-13T20:56:21.707-07:00I bought the pale color, #140 Peachy Keen.

The coverage seems to be streaky and not sheer as I had hoped. <br /><br />The finish is rather uneven and dull to me, so I am not loving it - especially at $7.99 from Walgreens. <br /><br />I had much better results from nail polish that was $1.50. <br /><br />As far as the "Complete Manicure" claim, that seems to be a stretch for the sales pitch.<br /><br />Sorry Sally Hansen - this particular color isn't a winner for me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038473611858124812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-76227784792882241802010-03-16T20:42:24.292-07:002010-03-16T20:42:24.292-07:00I am curious.

Do you find that even with the pales (if you've tried any) that it comes out much darker on the nail than it did in the bottle?<br />I had that happen both with Commander in Chic and Plum's the Word, and I wasn't quite ready for that. <br /><br />(Plus I haven't seen a site yet, including the company's, that matched the online swatch anywhere near the actual colors.)<br /><br />So I was just wondering what your experience had been.lmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-44979485533584401432010-01-08T11:19:48.399-08:002010-01-08T11:19:48.399-08:00No prob!

I rest a flat edge of the brush against the neck of the bottle, as much as you can hold a flat against a curve anyway. And I just kind of hold it there, vertical, for a second or two and let it drip. Then I pull the brush at an angle across the bottle rim, removing further excess. Usually that's good enough, but if there's still a bunch of excess polish, I lightly dab the polish holding side against the bottle neck. <br /><br />Does that make any sense? LOL.femputerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402293863580492479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-70739380201384673182010-01-07T12:22:41.685-08:002010-01-07T12:22:41.685-08:00Ladies: You are so welcome!

Maybe it's just me--I'm horribly uncoordinated when it comes to painting my nails, and I find this brush doesn't help with that at all. I just can't seem to control the amount of polish on it, like I can with a traditional brush. Any pointers from those of you who love this brush?<br /><br />And I'm happy to hear that so many of you like this shade--it's a great alternative to Metro Chic if you can't get to a Sephora! xoG.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-47928943858766596932010-01-07T07:43:29.897-08:002010-01-07T07:43:29.897-08:00I'm glad to hear your take on these.

(My birthday was yesterday, it could be considered a present to myself, right?) I really like them, but I didn't expect the 5 in 1 thing they were promising, so I've been using them with base and topcoat like I would any normal polish. They've been performing very well that way. I like the wide brush, it seems to work very well for me, but I know some hate it. I hate the ripply bumps I get in my 'gap' when using skinny brushes, and these wide ones seem to allow me to make a very neat gap. <br /><br /><br />I should mention that I used Fairy Teal the other day. Beautiful color, I got several compliments, but OMG STAIN. Seriously, I had smurf fingers for a couple days after I took that polish off. Augh, what a nightmare. So yeah, no way would I go without basecoat with these. And no way would I buy these at full price. Even with the BOGO free, they are still pretty steep, when you consider you can get a China Glaze for under $4 at most places, and online for under $3, if you shop smart. <br /><br />Still, Commander in Chic is a beautiful color, I'm glad I picked that one up. ^_^femputerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402293863580492479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-56510544809709395792010-01-06T23:42:47.716-08:002010-01-06T23:42:47.716-08:00As a rule I'm more of a metallic than a matte ...As a rule I'm more of a metallic than a matte kind of girl but this color looks interesting.

I actually love the brush and have a much easier time with it than I do with most nail polish brushes, but I think it's just a personal preference. The color did come out darker than the bottle, which made me sad, so I think I'm going to order that Mouse color too. Do you know if they sell the nail polish in American Apparel shops too? Anyway, Commander in Chic is a great color too!Sarah Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718314739268659399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-84134528950170336832010-01-06T16:26:32.650-08:002010-01-06T16:26:32.650-08:00I saw these while I was running around shopping Wa...I saw these while I was running around shopping Walgreens and CVS like a maniac, and I have to say while I loved the beautiful colors, I thought the price was too high. I hate to spend more than $5.00 nail polish, so I'll definitely have to wait for a BOGO to take advantage of them. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-21327944490508839212010-01-06T14:19:27.248-08:002010-01-06T14:19:27.248-08:00Thanks for your honest review!
