Today I have only one review for y’all, since this order had
3 perfumes and 1 nail polish. I am not really competent enough to review
perfumes in-depth, so I will just review the nail polish. This polish was
ordered as part of my regular monthly Avon order that I place (usually) at the
start of a month.
Let’s begin!

Now, Avon claims that this nail polish is an all-in-one, almost like a BB cream, but for your nails, featuring
seven benefits. To quote Avon's webpage:
“Nail colour and care in 1 bottle.
With 7 benefits your nails are in for a real treat!
1. Creamy flawless colour
2. Smooths and evens
3. Covers imperfections
4. Prevents discolouration
5.
Protects
6. Primes
7. Fills ridges”
I will examine each of these claims to see
whether it truly is all-in-one.

The packaging: it arrived in cardboard packaging with all of
the relevant information regarding this nail polish printed on it. The polish
itself looks rather sleek; it’s a thin rectangular clear bottle with a
rectangular white cap that is super secure. I really love how it looks! As for
the ingredients list, there are no harmful ingredients here, and in terms of
nourishing ingredients there is vitamin E. The expiration date is 24 months
after opening.

The colour is much prettier than I expected it to be. It’s a
very light gray that reminds me of overcast skies. The colour is really
intense! But, as I was looking for the perfect white nail polish, this wasn’t
it; it is just a smidge too gray. But that’s okay, I can have both a gray and a
white nail polish, why not? My nails looked really smooth, so that’s statement
nr. 2 proven true. It definitely covers imperfections as I had some on a few of
my nails and they weren’t visible after I applied this nail polish; that means
that statement nr. 3 is true, too. I do also believe that it fills ridges but
since I don’t have any noticeable ridges anyways I cannot say for certain
whether statement nr. 7 is true.
Now, the scent; it’s just your typical nail polish scent,
nothing extraordinary.

The brush, oh my the brush! It is truly spectacular; it’s a
round brush that is pretty long and thin. But, it really is amazing when you
paint your nails; it picks up so much pigment and really one or two strokes are
enough to paint the entire nail. It is just so great when you have such a
fantastic brush as it makes painting your nails so much easier and I was done
much faster than with other polishes that have a smaller brush.

I believe Avon when they say that this is a “creamy flawless
colour” (statement nr. 1 true!) as the formula really does feel a bit creamy
and quite thick. I actually quite like it, it feels rich and not at all heavy
on my nails, even after 2 coats. As for opacity, one coat is enough for most
people I reckon, but I thought I could faintly see my nails underneath so I
added one more coat and then it was totally opaque. So, really, don’t go for
more than 2 coats. The texture is faintly glossy, it is much more matte. I
think that that adds to the beauty of this shade.

Staying power? Man, it’s ridiculously long-lasting. It only
started to chip and flake off by day 5 of wearing it, and probably only because
I was washing my hair. I reckon that it would have lasted much longer otherwise. It
didn’t even have any chips on the edges of nails where nails usually get used
the most! That leads me to believe that it really does both prime and protect
nails, and does a splendid job at both! That’s statements nr. 5 and nr. 6
proven true. I was honestly really just astonished by how durable this polish
is, but then again, all of the Avon polishes that I have are super
long-lasting!
As for removing it? Piece of cake! I was over in less than a
minute (and by that I mean all ten of my fingernails). It’s so easy to remove!
Also, to prove that statement nr. 4 is true there wasn’t any discolouration.
Although, this is a really light-coloured nail polish, gray at that, so I
wasn’t expecting it to stain. It’s usually either the neons, reds, or dark
colours that tend to stain.
Conclusion: I am honestly in love with this nail polish!
Sure, it may not be the pure white that I was looking for, but the colour is very
pretty nonetheless! It was actually overcast while I was testing this polish
and I looked at my nails and then at the sky and it was almost a perfect match!
It looked so moody in that lighting! There aren’t any negatives to speak of,
honestly. And, if you have been keeping track, all 7 of Avon’s claims about
this nail polish turned out to be true! There is no false advertising
whatsoever here. And that really surprised me as I was expecting at least one
or two of the statements to be false; instead I found out that this is a
fantastic nail polish, as promised. You don’t need a base coat, the formula is creamy and
rich, nails feel so smooth and even, and it’s terrifically long-lasting!
Although, you might want to use a top coat just to protect this polish from
getting tiny scratches since it’s more matte than glossy. I literally cannot
express just how great this nail polish is, so it’s no surprise that I do
absolutely recommend it!
