Nail Polish: Deco
My Favorite Top Coat
 

Price: $15
 What They Say About Review
A brand most known for its "suit of armor" strengthening base coats. Perfect Formula Perfect Color nail polish is formulated with “Instant Strength Technology” to give instant strength and thickness to the nail. The custom designed brush along with the perfectly pigmented polish ensures a smooth even application on the nails every time.  Perfect Color is Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Dibutyl Phthalate free.

Post modern, avant garde and somewhat gritty in feel, the winter Perfect Color collection is a 180 degree departure from the sweetness of the spring palette. Grays, plums, deep pinks and berries are fashion forward and bold, yet still flattering and pleasing to the eye.

Directions
Start with one coat of a strenthening base coat such as Perfect Formula Gel Coat. Apply two coats of the nail color, allowing the nail to dry completely in between. Finish with a chip resisitant top coat such as Perfect Formula My Favorite Top Coat.

 My Thoughts
Overall, I think this nail color is very pretty because it a nice berry color. This is perfect to put on during the fall and winter season. Even though the direction said to put on two coats but I think one coat is enough for me. The nail color is highly pigmented and goes on smoothly. I think if you put on two coat, it will extend the chipping time of the nail color. The thing I love about Perfect Formula's nail color is that it dries fairly quickly. I am very surprise to see that because ususally it takes about 5 minutes or more to dry completely but this nail formula dries in about 2 minutes or so. I would definitely recommend this nail polish to others and will try more of their color in the future. Their nail polish is also avalible at QVC.com

What They Say About Product
The finishing touch to any great manicure is the perfect top coat. A high quality top coat ensures that all that painstaking polishing does not go to waste with premature chipping.
Perfect Formula's new My Favorite Top Coat creates a tough, fast drying finish to protect, seal and prevent yellowing of your nail polish. Thanks to Perfect Formula's Instant Strength Technology it immediately adds strength and thickness to the nail. It is also formulated with a UV absorber and a low level of nitrocellulose to help combat yellowing or discoloration from the sun.

An essential manicure extender, it creates a powerful seal to provide all the protection nails need while providing a high gloss, long lasting perfect manicure.

Directions
Apply over your favorite nail polish. For best results, allow polish to dry before applying top coat.

Top Coat Brush
  My Thoughts
 Overall, this top coat is really good in doing its job of protecting nail and preventing them from premature chipping. It dries fairly quickly and the consistency of the formula isn't too thick or thin. It's perfect top coat to me. At first, I really think the name My Favorite Top Coat is funny because I never think that this top coat could be my favorite one. After trying it on, I really understand this name and this top coat has really became my favorite top coat at this moment. It gives a shiny finish. I also love that it can prevent me of having yellow nail. I would definitely recommend this product to others who really need a perfect top coat.
