Cherry Nail Polish: Review




Cherry nail polish is a brand that I stumbled upon last year in Watson's. It's a local brand and is sold for like PHP20 in drug stores. I buy it, however, from a small store near our house and it is sold for PHP15 only. It's very cheap. I have tried a number of their shades but my favorite out of all the shades I've tried is Moonlight Glaze. It's a pastel color near lilac. Anyway, here's how it looks like on my nails:


Even though it's cheap, the packaging is really nice. It's what got me to buy it in the first place. I really liked its packaging. What I don't like about it, though, is after about 2 months, the liquid tends to get sticky, thick and really hard to apply. No difference from any other local brands out there. Pigmentation is so-so. Some shades are very vivid even with just one coat (e.g. Appealing Red), while others need 2 coats (e.g. Midnight Glaze) for the color to be opaque. For PHP 15 though, I believe you get what you pay for. I'd easily pick this over Sassy nail polish, which is a brand that I really don't like.

Overall, I like Sweet Cherry nail polish and to me, it's WORTH IT.

Pros:
- cheap
- variety of colors to choose from
- available in stores nationwide
- packaging is cute

Cons:
- tends to be sticky after 2 months or so
