7 Days Gel Lacque

Eveline 7 Days Gel Lacque Neon Lunacy [81] Review

By Maychiri's Thoughts - May 07, 2022

Hello,
 
The only review I have for you today is the Eveline 7 Days Gel Lacque Neon Lunacy, in the shade 81.

This nail polish was bought at BIPA, after debating for entirely too long where to buy it from: DM, Notino, BIPA..., I just couldn’t decide. What I did decide though, is that I wanted a neon nail polish, so why not this neon orange/coral shade?

  


The packaging: thin rectangular clear bottle with a black, round cap. In terms of ingredients, you will find formaldehyde and toluene (specifically formaldehyde/melamine/tosylamide copolymer), and there are no nourishing ingredients. I must say that I am disappointed to see that there’s formaldehyde and toluene in this nail polish. The expiration date is 12 months after opening.

 

 

 

 

Colour: a beautiful neon coral/orange shade that looks more orange than coral on my nails. It really is neon, at least in daylight. I don’t have a blacklight so I cannot tell say whether it is truly neon.

 

Scent: nothing special, just your regular old nail polish smell.

 

 

 

 

Brush: it’s excellent! It’s a big flat brush that is terrifically precise and easy to use. I managed to evenly paint my nails with just one swipe, that’s how big this brush is. I was not expecting it to be anywhere near this good!

 

 

 

 

 

Formula is very watery but it wasn’t runny, and I had to apply two coats for total coverage. Even with just one coat it was insanely pigmented but with two coats it’s so fricking bright! Like, it’s literally fluorescent! Now, if you look closely you can barely see the white tips of nails but you really have to look really closely, so I am satisfied with the amount of coverage. The texture is glossy but it’s pretty easy to scratch up without a top coat.

 

I was disappointed with the longevity of this nail polish; it started chipping by day 2 of wearing it, and by day 3 it was pretty ugly looking. A large amount had chipped off and there were scratches on it. I was hoping it would last longer since it’s a really beautiful shade, such a shame! Removal was really easy, I didn’t need to rub too hard to remove it, although I did notice that it had stained my nails. It wasn’t that bad though, my nails were only a bit orange.  
 
 
 
 
NB: testing was done without a base or top coat.

 

 
Conclusion: I really wanted to love this nail polish. I really did, but I am just not satisfied with its performance. It’s not long-lasting, it is too watery for me and it has harmful ingredients. It definitely needs both a base coat and a top coat; without a base coat you will get stains on your nails and without a top coat it’ll get scratched up and chip like mad. Really the only thing I like about it is the colour. Disappointing! I am unsure whether I would recommend it.
