Sally HansenGood Kind Pure Vegan Nail Polish, Laven-Dear, 11 ml

Long lasting and perfect colour

Reviewed Peony Origins & Natural Red‘Peony Origins’ is a bright Barbie pink shade from the new Good. Kind. pure line by Sally Hansen. It is plant based, 15 free and vegan. It says that it offers beautiful colour and shine with no compromise.Also;*100% natural plant based brush bristles.*Provides radiant healthy looking nails.*All natural hardener that improves the look of ridges and imperfections and seals fragile nails.*Delivers nothing but colour onto the nails.I was a little sceptical when I saw the consistency of this polish as it seemed a little thin, but I needn’t have worried! The1st coat gave a really good, shiny coverage, but as I could see my nail line and ridges a little, I applied a 2nd coat and it went from good to A-MAZING!! 😍 The 2nd coat not only built the colour intensity but it also gave it the most stunningly-beautiful super-dazzling shine!The claim that their - ‘All natural hardener that improves the look of ridges and imperfections and seals fragile nails’ - I can confirm is true, as it worked on my very prominent ridges and I was extremely impressed with the smooth super shiny finish!I found the brush easy to work with as it is slightly wider and fans out to cover the nail perfectly and the rounded edge follows the curve of the nail beautifully. It applied the polish quickly and effortlessly and meant I had quite a neat finish (I usually make quite a mess;)I really love this polish! I was eager to try it and I wasn’t disappointed with the results. I also love that it’s Vegan and contains no animal derivatives, I wish that this meant that it is also cruelty free but it seems that there is a little bit of uncertainty surrounding this.At £8.99 (25/1/21) I'm happy to pay this price and I’m also happy to recommend.‘Natural Red’ is a bright red creme polish from the Sally Hansen ‘Good.Kind.Pure’ collection of 100% vegan polishes.These polishes are 16 free and offer upto 7 days wear and shine.‘Natural Red’ has a highly pigmented formula that applied like a dream.Just one coat of this richly pigmented polish gave a streak free, fully opaque, shiny result. The new plant based brush is wide, flat and perfectly shaped to follow the curve of the nail perfectly and precisely. It applied the polish smoothly and effortlessly giving a flawless result. I have unsteady hands and usually steer clear of dark polishes (especially reds!) but this was a pleasure to use and I had no clean up afterwards.If you are blessed with smooth nails then one coat of this would suffice, but as my nails are very ridged and uneven I did apply a second coat and while this gave better coverage, when dry the ridges were still a little visible. Applying a topcoat is recommended as this not only seals in the colour but also gives added protection and wear time and this also had the added bonus of smoothing out the last traces of unevenness, giving a super smooth and glossy finish.Overall I absolutely loved this polish. With its incredible formula, superb brush giving a precise, super smooth application and salon quality results it’s hard to believe this is a plant based, 16 free polish - their claim of this having no compromise on quality or results is completely true! Happy to recommend this clean, fabulous polish 👌❤️

Good nail polish, easy to apply,however its not as on the discription!!!

I have been very impressed with this polish. It goes on reasonably well, needs two coats to cover effectively, and comes off easily. The nail tips show a bit of wear after a couple of days but as I am trying to support nail growth at the moment (menopausal nail breakage!) I just keep adding a layer alternate days. At the time I took this photo, the base layer is already 9 days old and the top layer is from this morning. I have a busy role in a school and wash my hands frequently, you can see a bit of surface damage on my dominant hand. I can safely say this is the best value and best lasting polish I have found for a very long time. So I've settled on this as my new favourite brand. I add a new layer every two days and take it off at weekends for a colour change. I think that building up the layers and removing the polish less often is helping nail growth and I'm getting a lot less breakage. The colour in this photo is Pink Cloud.

This is my second attempt as polishing my nails after many years of having bare nails.Whilst my technique needs improving, I love this nail polish as I want to change my colour every week and gel nails were to time consuming and complicated to remove. I do wish they would last an extra day or two, however I plan to buy another colour after improving my technique as it was slightly streaky, though this might be more down to user error then the polish.EDIT: After a few weeks I am glad to say it WAS user error and with a bit of practice it now goes on streak-free!

4 stars for it being vegan, good, kind & pure, with no bad chemicals. Wish it would work properly, too. That’s the dream!!But sadly it just doesn’t work as well as the “bad chemical”-y nail polishes. It’s hard to get it even. Therefore I haven’t used it much at all. So it’s just been sitting there. Really wish this had worked!! :/Maybe if you had a very very good nail technician that’s willing to do your nails with this then it would work, but otherwise I just found it really hard to do a good job on my nails with this :/

Full coverage looks great with a tan!

Lovely sheer pink - the formula of the polish is easy to use and thin without being streaky. I like the look of it kept semi sheer with 3 coats.However the quality of the polish doesn't last and within a few weeks has thickened in the bottle and is no longer as easy to use without putting the lid on and thoroughly shaking before painting each singular nail.
