Availability and Initial Impressions

Finding Beauty Me nail polishes proved challenging. I initially searched online without success, only discovering them during a trip. The in-store color selection was impressive, featuring a wide range of shades, along with a base and top coat. Intrigued by the color chart, I purchased numerous polishes before testing the formula.

The initial excitement led to an impulsive purchase, resulting in a large collection of shades. This made choosing polishes for review a difficult task. Unfortunately, one shade, a magenta pink, quickly faded to an unattractive brownish pink, raising early concerns about the formula's stability.

Formula and Application

The formula proved to be quite thin and somewhat depigmented, reminiscent of older, watery nail polish formulas. Even the most pigmented shade (a earthy orange) required two coats for full coverage, while others needed three. This lack of pigmentation was a significant drawback.

The English-only nail polish names were another point of dissatisfaction, especially considering the brand's apparent lack of international presence. The long, thin brush also proved challenging to control, making precise application difficult and contributing to the overall less-than-ideal application experience.

Durability and Longevity

Durability varied greatly depending on the use of base and top coats. A polish tested without top coat chipped and dulled noticeably within hours. When using the brand's base coat and top coat, the polish lasted significantly longer, showing good durability and shine.

Using only the brand's base coat without top coat resulted in decent longevity, but still showed some dulling within a day despite not engaging in any strenuous activities. The brand's top coat, while initially very shiny, lost its luster relatively quickly. While it didn't shrink handmade nail polish, it lacked lasting shine.

Overall Impression and Conclusion

Overall, Beauty Me nail polish showed inconsistencies in formula and performance. While the color selection is attractive, the thin, depigmented formula and difficult-to-control brush significantly detract from the user experience. The durability is highly dependent on using the brand's base and top coat which, although initially providing a nice shine, lost their sheen quickly.

Considering the price point, the quality does not justify the cost compared to other brands offering comparable or superior formulas. While some might appreciate the thin formula, the lack of pigmentation and the subpar brush make Beauty Me nail polish a less appealing option. Unless a specific desired shade is unavailable elsewhere, exploring alternative brands would likely provide a more satisfying outcome.
