As soon as I saw these polishes turn up on the Topshop website, I knew I had to have them. I was in love with all of the shades but originally bought only 3 of the 4 that they had out, although now I can say I've bought the last one and finished off my collection.
The first polish out of the set that I tried was this beautiful pale grey shade called 'Straight Laced'. At first, I'm going to be truthful, I absolutely hated the polish. I was very disappointed as I had bought so many shades and so I had to keep going with it and using it. I hated the formulation, it felt really odd on the nails and I just couldn't seem to get used to it. It appeared streaky, but now I would put this down to the way that I applied the polish that time.
It was only after I had taken this all of and reapplied with another shade, was that I realised how great this polish actually was. It dries so quickly, a great point for a lazy nail painter like me and actually even though it doesn't last as long as a normal polish, it is just as easy to apply it again.
Along with it drying quickly, the removal of the polish is also so much easier, you literally just peel the polish off! This can be seen in the image below, showing the polish peeling off easily.
I was so excited to peel all of the nail polish off my nails as it reminded me of when I was younger and when I used to peel the PVA glue off of my hands. The most satisfying thing ever. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?! Hell yes. What a great childhood we all had, eh.
All I can say now about this polish is that I am completely in love. I hardly ever used to paint my nails as it all seemed to be like so much of a chore and really I would only do it if I had some sort of occasion to paint it for - NYE, an event... etc. All I can say is that I can tell already that I just don't want to paint my nails with anything else, the comparison to the chore of applying and waiting for it to dry and then the removal to that with this polish, well you just can't compare it. Which is why I just had to run out and pick up the last shade. I have been reading on the internet about peel off base coats and wow, I need one of these babies!
This has got to be my new holy grail nail product. Please Topshop, bring out some more!
Have any of you tried this polish? Did you love it as much as I did?
Love this colour! i've never tried a Topshop polish before, i might test one out :)

ReplyDeleteMiss Sunshine & Sparkle
it is so much more satisfying because you KNOW that your meant to do it that way! x
DeleteWhat state does the peeling leave your nails underneath in?
ReplyDeletethe nails are fine!
DeleteAh have been wanting someone to bring back peel off nail polish! :) could be good for kids? What are your nails like once you have peeled them off? Definitely want to try it! xx
ReplyDeletethats very true, your nails are fine after! x

such a great past time! haha x
DeleteSuch a gorgeous nail colour that would go with everything x

It's so wearable! :) x
DeleteI was never sold on this idea, I don't think it would even last a day on my nails, although I see the bonus of it not damaging your nails as much when you pick it off - a habit i'm yet to stop.

Yeah, I can totally see how it would not be for some people but for a lazy girl like me it's perfect! x
Deletethis sounds so cool and looks so pretty! love those type of grey shades on my nails! peel off sounds awesome, that would be even more amazing if it was peel off glitter polish since glitter is such a pain to take off! great review doll!

Going to try painting glitter over the top and seeing how that fares, hopefully it works and could be our new saviour, saving us so much time with glitter polish removal! x
DeleteI haven't tried these and I actually wasn't too interested in them until I read this, and now I really want to try one haha! I used to love peeling glue off my hands too!

I used to cover my hands with glue, just to peel it off! so so satisfying! x
DeleteI really like the concept of this, I'd probably end up painting my nails just to peel it off though haha
ReplyDeleteDusterknuckles | Fashion // Beauty // Lifestyle
I can totally see why, it's so satisfying! x
DeleteI love Topshop nail polishes, and when I saw these in store I needed to try them! But I never got rounded to buying them, and your review just made me want them again! The love is so gorgeous, and I love that you can just peel it off. I wonder if you put a glitter polish over them, will the polish still peal off? I hope so, because that would make getting glitters off your nails so much easier!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the review!

Definitely going to give it a go, will report back! x
Deleteoh wow genius idea! also such a beautiful colour
ReplyDeleteordaining serendipity
I love it! x
DeleteWhat a brilliant idea! Totally agree about the PVA glue by the way... Glad to know I'm not the only one who done this!! The colour is lovely, they should bring out colours that you would only wear with certain outfits, that you'd want to peel off after a day or two, or peel off glitter ones, they're right buggers to get off!
ReplyDeleteChels|HumbleHonesty
I really hope they bring out more shades as I've got all of the ones that are out already. More reviews coming soon! x
DeleteHow chip resistant would you say this polish is?
ReplyDeleteMy Blog : Ms Beaujoli
I wouldn't really say it chips, it just starts to peel off but as long as you press it back down it's fine! :) x
DeleteI had never heard of this, but seems like it's amazing, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat post :)
