So, today I am going to start by reviewing the Pink Panda
Nail Polish, shade Cutie.

This is the second Pink Panda nail polish that I have; the
previous one was fantastic. Like the previous one, this one was also a part of
a mystery bag, this time called “Hello Spring Mystery Bag”, which contained 3
other items besides this nail polish. This one is spring themed and it looks
really pretty! But is it as good as the Halloween version?

Packaging: clear round glass bottle with a white round cap
that has little pink butterflies printed on it. It’s really cute!

The brush is a great flat brush that picks up a ton of
pigment and spreads it beautifully evenly. It is wide enough to cover my nails
with just one or two swipes.

The colour: this is a beautiful light dusky rose; it looks more
vibrant in the bottle than on nails. It’s a gorgeous shade for very fair
skintones.
The formula is relatively thick and gelly, I kind of like it,
I must admit. One coat is already pretty much opaque, so don’t apply more than
two coats. I decided to apply two coats during testing. The texture is very
glossy.

Staying power is not too good, regrettably. I was really
hoping it wouldn’t start chipping but it did, and soon after applying it. The
day after it started chipping on the edges of nails, and by the next day it
started chipping on the sides too. It’s such a shame that such a pretty colour
has terrible staying power. At least the chipping isn’t too noticeable since
it’s a nude shade. Disclaimer: I applied this polish without a base coat or a
top coat, as I always do when I am testing out polishes for the first time.
This nail polish is really easy to remove, I removed it from
all of my fingernails in like 2 minutes without much scrubbing.
Conclusion: unfortunately, this shade is a bit lower quality
than the Halloween one; even though it’s a gorgeous colour and the brush is
awesome, and even the formula of the polish feels great, the fact that it
starts chipping one day after applying and gets much worse in a few days made
me feel disappointed in it. The Halloween shade set my expectations sky high,
and this shade just couldn’t meet those expectations. Nevertheless, even with that,
I still like this polish; the colour was surprisingly beautiful on my skin. I
knew it would be pretty, but it was so much more than that; that said, it might
be a bit too bright for dark skintones. If you like pinky nude nail polishes I
think I would recommend this one, despite it easily chipping.
Rating: 8/10
Would buy again? Probably YES
