NYX Girls Nail Polish in Hot Orange

NYX Girls Nail Polish in Hot Orange

Good morning everyone! I’m trying to start off my monday, and the work week all bright, cheerful, and with a positive, can-do attitude. The product I’m going to review now seems perfect for my mood—and it’s bright alright. It’s the NYX Girls Nail Polish in Hot Orange, which I purchased from the Digital Traincase year-end sale.

What the company says about the product:

Somewhere over the rainbow—that’s where you might expect to find one of our shades of divine nail color. The quick-dry nail polish formula is long-lasting, leaving behind no lumps, clumps or lines, while the applicator brush deposits just the right amount of varnish. And the color? Va-va-voom.

To be honest, I only got this particular shade because there were only two colors left in stock at the Digital Traincase shop. I merely wanted to test the quality of NYX nail polishes, which I’d never tried before. And at the (sale) price of PhP 89, I didn’t have much to lose.

This isn’t big 3-free and contains Formaldehyde Resin, so I try to remember to apply it in a well-ventilated area and when my kid isn’t around.

The NYX Girls Nail Polish in Hot Orange has a thin texture, which I like because I think it makes application easier for polish newbies like me. The handle of the cap is on the short side and the brush is small and not splayed. I need three coats of this to achieve opaque color.

The color of this is a bright, neonish orange. Really nice for summer. The finish isn’t very shiny and is actually a bit on the dull side, so it’s best to apply a top coat on this to add some shine. It’s great that this NYX Girls Nail Polish is fast-drying! Three coats applied only needed about 3 minutes to become totally dry to the touch.

When I test nail polishes for review, I don’t wear any base coat or top coat, simply my preference at the moment. Without those two, this lasts a good five days on me with very minimal fading and no chipping.

It looks even brighter and annoyingly orange in actual. :-) Also, I thought my cuticles were okay but this photo shows me how dry they actually are.

NYX Girls Nail Polish in Hot Orange – Likes:

• It’s a breeze to apply.
• The brush isn’t splayed or too big.
• It’s fast-drying.
• The color is vibrant and pretty.
• It doesn’t fade or chip easily.
• It’s not expensive.

NYX Girls Nail Polish in Hot Orange – Dislikes:

• The finish looks a bit dull.
• Not big 3-free.
• I have to order it online.

Overall:

I think this is pretty nice for PhP 89, so the next time I have the opportunity to try the other NYX Girls nail polish shades, I’ll be getting two or so additional colors for myself. Hot Orange is a perfect shade for summer, and for me it brings to mind trips to the beach, somehow. I’ll keep this shade in mind when the summer season rolls around, or anytime I need an orange nail polish fix!
