Review : Skinfood Nail Vita BR608 Skin Nail

Hi guys! Today I have a nail polish review and swatch. I was searching for a nude nail polish to add into my nail polish collection, and I stumbled upon this one.
This is the visual look of the nail polish
The application was simply ordinary. The brush was nice and normal, I mean, there are some kind of brushes that are too wide that you have to be more precise so that the nail polish won't smear into your cuticles.
This is the swatch of the nail polish. The left one is with two coats, and the right one is with one coat. Both without top coat

On the first coat, it was pretty sheer and streaky. However, as it dried it became smooth and glossy, but it was still too sheer. I have few other skinfood nail polishes and they all seem to be a two-coater nail polish.
On the second coat, the colour started to show up a little bit better, as you can see you can still see a little bit of my white nails on the tip.
I don't like to put too many coats on nail polish because they will be very thick and they can easily leave dents on your nails, which can be unsatisfyingly annoying. So, I just stopped at two coats. Besides, it was quite opaque looking at my nails in a distance.

I kind of see why they named it 'Skin Nail' because the colour really matches my skin stone very well. It's like my skin tone shade in a nail polish bottle.

So, here are the pros and cons of this nail polish.

      Pros
  • It was quite cheap. I got it for about IDR 25.000 per bottle.
  • It can get opaque in two coats
  • Dries glossy and shiny
  • Dries quite fast
  • You don't really need a top coat to make it shiny
  • It was the perfect shade that I was looking for
     Cons
  • It left me with dents because I was trying to open the door. It has been about 10 minutes since I applied the polish. Here is the picture.
  • Two coats may not be enough for people who want full pigmentation of the nail polish
Rate : 4 / 5
minus 1 point because of that slight imperfection :(

Repurchase? Definitely. I would love to try out other colours as well!
Other than that, I think this nail polish is really worth it to try. Plus, it was cheap as well.
So, I hope this review helps! Thank you for reading and see you on my future reviews!
when my nails were perfect-looking :'(
