Packaging: 9/10

These glass polish containers are tiny and come with synthetic brushes. They’d be great for traveling with because they aren’t as heavy as normal-sized bottles.

Quality: 9.5/10

These polishes are fantastic quality. All 3 colors go on smoothly and opaquely. The color is so good, that I did not need more than 1 coat.

There were no problems with application. The polish wears like most others (3-5 days with a good topcoat).

Ease of Use: 10/10

All three colors went on opaquely and evenly. I only had to apply 1 coat. The small length of the handle and brush also makes it very easy to control application. I had zero issues applying.

Price: 10/10

These polishes are mini-sized, so you only get 0.16 fl oz of polish. But they’re only $0.99 and given they’re such high quality, the price is great.

Final Grade

96.5/100
