And now the last nail polish of the three! This is the Trend
it Up Easy & Speedy Nail Polish, in the shade 190!
This is the least likely of the three nail polished that my
mum gave me that I’d buy on my own. I’m not one to wear vibrant blue nail polishes
usually, but I do understand that sometimes you need a vibrant dark blue! Trend
it Up nail polishes vary in quality, but the Easy & Speedy polishes were
very good previously. This is definitely a beautiful colour, I hope it will be
good like the other Easy & Speedy polishes! Well, let’s see how good it is!
Packaging: a small square glass bottle. It’s cute! The cap
is much taller than the bottle; the cap is black and closes very tightly. The
text is white, such a fantastic colour choice with the vibrant blue of the
polish! It’s a simple design, but I love the shape of the bottle, it’s pretty
cute!
Brush: small rounded brush that is decent. It picks up a ton
of polish but it doesn’t apply it too evenly, although that is also due to the
formula being very difficult to apply evenly. It is not too precise, but I
managed to paint my nails without making a terribly huge mess on the skin around the
nails. The brush is not frayed but it could definitely be better.
Colour: oooh, this is a beautiful shade of blue! It’s a
rich, vibrant darker blue, very much like dark sapphire blue; it’s also like
something in between USAF blue and Boeing blue. A very intense colour that is
immediately noticeable from afar! It looks stunning on pale skin, does it not?
I’m not usually one for blue, especially darker, navy-type blue, nail polishes
but this one is really stunning! It creates such an intense contrast between my
pale skin and it. Wow! Sapphires on my nails, truly!
The formula is quite pleasant to use, although it is a bit
runny. And it does apply horribly unevenly with one coat, which is a serious
problem. But it feels silky and smooth, and it doesn’t usually make a huge mess
unless you aren’t being careful. I was kind of rushing through the application
process, which lead to a lot of polish on the skin surrounding the nails...
it’s entirely my fault. However, even though it feels runny, it also feels very
nice in terms of thickness; like, it’s not too thick or too thin. So, it’s not
all bad!
Oooh boy... this is horribly uneven with one coat. It’s
blotchy and uneven and partially sheer. It just looks hideous with one coat...
no sugarcoating this. Alright, two coats improves how it looks massively! It’s
opaque now and it’s mostly even, only being slightly uneven in a few places,
but it’s not very noticeable at all. The texture is very glossy.
Scratches aside, this nail polish actually has great
longevity! It’s such a shame it gets scratched up so much because it doesn’t
chip easily. The scratches make it less glossy, it becomes more of a muted
shine instead. The nail polish stayed in remarkably good condition during the 4
days I was wearing it; it developed some very minor tip wear between days 2 and
3, but it was barely visible. It did chip on day 3, but it wasn’t significantly
chipped. It continued to be in great shape the next day, even though a hair wash
did damage it slightly. But it’s really not nearly as bad as it can be after a
hair wash! Excellent! Now, if only it was scratch resistant...
Oh wow, this nail polish is actually super easy to remove!
That’s... a huge surprise! I thought I would have to rub for ages just to break
through it, but I only need a couple of swipes and it’s already pretty much
gone! I do need to rub a bit more to remove the last remaining bits of it, but
it’s so much easier than I thought! And it doesn’t leave my nails stained
yellow; they do seem to be very slightly bluish but that could be me just
seeing things. They might not even be discoloured. Wow... I thought for sure it
would discolour my nails...
All in all, another good little nail polish from Trend it
Up! It seems the Easy & Speedy range is one of the promising ones as this
isn’t the first Easy & Speedy to be this good! There’s much to love here:
the brush is pretty good, the longevity is excellent (for the most part), and
oh my... the colour! It’s stunning! So rich, so vibrant! A darker blue that
looks gorgeous on pale skin, it is visible from miles away! I love it – and I
don’t typically wear blue nail polishes, so this is high praise, coming from
me! But not all is great... the formula is finicky, to put it lightly. It’s not
the easiest formula to use, and it applies so goddamn unevenly with one coat...
thankfully, applying a second coat fixes it, but, by god, is it uneven and ugly
with one coat. And it’s prone to being scratched up, which isn’t good as it
makes it less glossy. But combined with its small price, it’s great! These
vibrant nail polishes can be spotty and difficult to work with, but this little
polish is a real gem – sapphire, even! I will recommend it, I do love it!
