I bought one of these polishes which is a sort of bright/medium pink if you like. It's called Valentine and it's really nice, but that's just the colour. The consistency is really gloopy and it takes ages to dry! I was really disappointed! And I wore it for half a day and it already started peeling off!! I was peeling sheets off my nail, like the polish came off whole and didn't chip!! It was really strange and disappointing. I will defiantly not repurchase any more of these polishes as I already have 3. ( full moon party, gold fever and Valentine.)

I purchased a sephora nail polish from the sephora store, called countdown to the kiss, a deep navy blue with some sparkle. Well, this color looks fantastic on my toenails (i have rockstar acrylics on my fingers) however, do not apply this color to your nail without a clear undercoat. I had forgetten to buy more, so i just applied it directly to my nail. Horrible idea. When i went to takwe off the polish, my nails were literally STAINED blue. no matter how much i soaked in lemon juice or 100% acetone, it never came off. so i had to wear dark colored polishes for a month or 2 until my nails grew out. other than that, the color is great. it resists chips and lasts a while.

As another reviewer noted, there are a lot of Sephora nail polish reviews out there, but I didn't find any that fit my description exactly. I have a small bottle of pink polish (speed dating/L06)--it's not an OPI color--that I purchased on a whim. Let me preface this review by saying that I've NEVER used a Sephora-brand product that I liked. I don't understand why a store that sells such great products has such awful in-house products. I like the color of this product--hot pink--but it is one of the worst nail polishes I've ever tried. I use it exclusively on my toe nails and it chips off in a matter of days. Usually, my polish lasts for weeks. I love the small size, which is great for travel, but it doesn't last at all. Definitely would not repurchase.

It was not well worth the price, I bought it as a treat for my 14 year old and myself in a different colour, she dislikes it, and her brush broke and got tangled, the nail polish did not last a while, Im going to the store today and getting her an OPI instead, for myself also. Very dissapointed in this product.

Aww, give these little guys some credit. They are quick drying (and I mean really quick drying! I swiped some on a finger at Sephora, walked around the store and it was dry!); the colors are super trendy and there's a huge variety to pick from; and for those in a hurry/don't have the patience, one coat is really enough to get a strong burst of color!


The one lippie off is for the price, as many have already mentioned. Other than that, no complaints from me!


By the way, my favorite shade is Passion (L09). It's a deep coral with some hot pink. Hot!

This is a review for the Sephora Couleur Multi-action product. I was given this as a gift, and I got it in the colour Beige. Its a pale whitish-beige colour and while I would like to wear it as a colour itself, thats not actually what I use this product for - I use it as a base coat under whatever other polish I'm wearing. It says that its a strenthener, hardener and smoothing polish, and I completely agree. I ran out of OPI Nail Envy and decided to use this as my base coat and hardener for a while and love it for that purpose. The beige colour provides a good base for other colours, and my nails are harder than ever (without using some type of hardening product my nails break a lot, so this is a big compliment!)

So I have the same polish as pishtosh.
I loved the colour, it is very different and hard to find. This lasted well for me. Maybe it's the basecoat though.
I do one coat Revlon Nail Trauma, one coat Revlon Fast Dry Base Coat (I think that's the name, amazing stuff!). Then it took two coats of this polish to make my nails look nice.
I did this...either sunday or monday, and it is now thursday. Up until yesterday, my nails only had minimal wear at the edges. Today they look rough, but I've been picking paint off a can. Sigh, my nails.
I gave it a 4, I'm between three and four but I decided to be nice.
Price is 4. The amount of polish you get for $7cdn is just fooey!
Package quality is 3. I like the brush, the bottle is wonky shaped and doesn't stand up straight. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but it was the last one this colour.
Would I buy again? Maybe, but I said yes. If i get a gift card or something ;)

I have the sparkly black one in "never enough shoes"
love it
need 2 generous coats to look really good but what nailpolish doesnt?
Only issue for me is that you can't really see the shimmer in the polish once on nails
but still a beautiful colour

I bought it because I loved the red in the bottle! It was gorgeous.
PROs : the color
CONS :
the aplicator leaves streaks and is sooo sooo tiny, hard to work with
it s kind of matte, I have to aplly 2 coates of incolor drugstore over, to add the shine
chips in 1-max 2 days
it only lasted 4 application
Few hours ago, I wanted to do my manicure, but couldn t get any of the polish out of the bottle.Shaked it a lot, and , grrr, got some product on the wand, but, definetly, can t do anything with that.

I think drugstore brands are better and way cheaper! I will stick with those! wont buy this again!

i bought the couleur multi-action polish in "rose lacte milkshake" (#08). i am not happy with this polish. i applied this in the store but i should have made my whole finger to see the final results. pros: the color is a nice pale white-pink. & dries really fast. cons: this streaks really bad upon application and dries streaky too. i had high hopes for something $6. i bought sephora's OPI line & that was great. this 1 not so.

This is a review for Sephora's brand of polish, not the OPI-related one. The ones that come in little, flat, oval-shaped bottles. And YUCK, what a waste. I bought a really pretty creamy primary blue shade because it's a hard to find colour and I figured, hey, for six bucks, it can't be that bad. Wrong! I usually use Sally Hansen polishes, which are never more than 3 bucks a pop and cover/last beautifully. After three days of this Sephora polish, almost 1/3 of it had chipped away on each nail! Such a bummer and a huge ripoff! >=(

I agree with "BubsBeauty" on the Sephora by OPI colors. The purple matte ones are gorgeous. However, the reason I like the colors of those are probably because they actually have the exact same OPI formula so it's basically just OPI polishes...the true brand of Sephora polish is okay. I have five colors including one from a longggg time ago in a golden bronze color. This polish is actually one of my favorite ones from my collection and I own many high brand polishes. Sephora polishes come in multiple beautiful colors, but the quality could be a tad better....

NOTE: This is ONLY a review for the Sephora Nail Polish in Glacon (Clear)! I have never tried any other of their polishes, so I can't speak for them!

My mom hates me wearing nail polishes so I can only wear clear nail polish without her noticing. Anyways, I like how this brush really covers the nail easily - the product spreads onto my nail so easily! And I just have this really nice, shiny coating on my nails.

There's a bit of a mixture of Sephora polishes listed, so for clarity, I'm writing about the actual Sephora brand "couleur multi-action" polish in the cylindrical bottle.

This stuff is terrible. I like the colour, "Pure Plum", but with two coats it looked kind of muddy. But the worst thing about the polish is that it was goopy and never seemed to solidify. With two coats, plus base and top coat, after more than 24 hours it actually *smudged*. It remained goopy and never hardened. I removed it all at that point and will never use it -- or buy it -- again.

I have close to a dozen of these little bottles (the small oval-shaped bottles). They're wonderful! The colors are great (huge selection), the small-sized bottles are handy and fun (have you EVER used a whole bottle, large size?). It definitely takes two coats, the paint is a little thin. I'm pretty hard on my hands so I have to re-do every 3 or 4 days. The selection of colors is fantastic, the price is right, will continue to purchase.

This is a review for the mini Sephora polish, metallic edition (Vernis à Ongles Métallique Longue Tenue same as the other minis, but has a chromed black cap). I think this item is only available in Europe.

The color is M15, name Twist, and it is a lovely cool pink creme with very subtle pink shimmer to it, visible only in certain light. The effect, opposing to the name, is not metallic but very delicate and in some lights with a bit of "twist" to it (maybe hence the name).
I love this nailpolish, it is absolutely my HG. Have been looking at it for months, then finally got it. Should have done so earlier, as this is the perfect pink. It gives a very nice, well polished manicure. The result is cute, feminine and delicate.

I am generally very happy with this Sephora polish line. The result is glossy, color stays true and the mani lasted me for a week easily. I only put on new polish, because I needed to file my nails, and fix my cuticles. Experienced no chipping!!!

I have been trying all sorts and brands of polish, colors from pale to dark. But I can honestly say that I have never been this happy with how my nails look. I love the size, style and result this product gives, and I will definitely keep repurchasing it over and over again. I love how I can use up a bottle and it is still fresh because it is small. Love the easy usage (no need for base or top coats). Just love love love everything about it.

Highly recommended!

I bought the 'ultra shine top coat' in the cylindrical bottle, and I'm very disappointed. Top coats are essential to the staying power of one's nail color. I painted my nails in the morning with Sally Hansen's Salon Line Sultry Fuschia, which generally has pretty good lasting power with a good topcoat. I used this topcoat after the color dried, and before evening, they were showing signs of tip wear, and I hardly did anything that day! While it's not expensive, you might as well just take the money you'd spend on this nailpolish and invest in another topcoat that actually works.

These nailpolishes are really cheap ($2) so it's not too much to just try one. I got the turquoise polish to even out a purchase on sephora.com. The color is really bold, although I am not sure if I like it against my tanned skin. The only problem I have with the polish is that the brush is kind of huge.. too much so for my nail. I would purchase again however, in other colors.

The nail polish is okay because it doesnt last long at all. I really like the colors though.
