For my regular subscribers and readers, I think you are all aware that CND Vinylux is my favorite nail polish - from it's formula to it's brush/wand. CND most recently launched their Creative Play collection which is their version of the regular nail polish as the Vinylux formula is a weeklong formula that guarantees a week's worth of wear without chips.

I was recently sent 8 colors to try and I have provided pictures below of some swatches. Some colors worked better as a top coat as I have applied 3 coats for two of the colors, and still I could not obtain the opacity that I wanted. However, all the other colors I have tried on applied effortlessly and gave me a good quality payoff just with one coat. I put on two coats still just in case to make sure it is smooth and even. 

Top Row: Left to Right - Isle Never Let You Go, I Blanked Out, Polish My Act and Bronzestellation.

Bottom Row: Left to Right - Bridechilla, Iris You Would, I Like to Mauve It and Hottie Tomattie.

As you can see, Isle Never Let You Go and Bridechilla are really sheer, even with three coats of polish in that picture. 

Hottie Tomattie and Iris You Would has got to be my two favorite colors - Hottie Tomattie and Polish My Act actually only required one coat to achieve the result you see in the picture. These polishes lasted about 4-5 days before I started to experience any chipping. I also used the top coat provided by Creative Play. 

Online, I see that Creative Play (13.6ml) retails for about $8.50 and the Vinylux (15ml) is about $11.95 - though there appears to be a price difference and the Vinylux is $3 more, it also contains a bit more in volume PLUS it is a weeklong wear formula. So far, I cannot decide which formula I love more as they are both quite similar! Either way, I suggest that you try out either one ASAP!

Until next time, XO - M.
