Follow Up: Bellatrix Nail Lacquer-Magenta

Okay, so I cheated a little. I got some new polish in and wanted to change up my mani. I did wear the Bellatrix polish for 6 days though and I was pleasantly surprised. Although the application was not my favorite, the polish did really good in terms of wear. This was what the polish looked like right before removal.

As you can see there were some chips on the side, but they were not huge and they came on gradually as the week progressed.
Minor tip wear started about day 2 with this polish and minor chip around day 4. Larger chips like the one on my index finger happened yesterday (day 5).

Overall I was impressed with this polish and if I came across it in Walgreens again on sale I would probably pick it up. I hope they do change the application brush though and make it less course, but other than that I was pretty happy with this manicure.

Bellatrix Nail Lacquer-Magenta: Day 1

Found this set while wandering around Walgreen's today. It was tagged as $3, but since it was leftover from the holiday gift sets I was only charged $1. For that price I had to give it a try. The bottle reminds me a little of the Butter London polishes. I have not tried the lip gloss yet, but will let you know my thoughts when I post the follow up for the polish.


Bellatrix Lips and Tips gift set. Sticker on the box labels the set as "Magenta" but the color is definitely more of a dusty rose. 



Used: Beauty Secrets Base Coat, 2 coats of the Bellatrix Nail Lacquer, and Beauty Secrets Top Coat

Application: I feel like the nail polish was a little thicker than I am used to. The brush was a little coarse and made the polish appear streaky with the first coat. I was able to even it out pretty well with the second coat though. 

Will see how this polish holds up this week and will post a follow up.
