Nails of the Week | Cakepop



One of the gifts my parents got me for Christmas was a certificate to go and get a manicure and pedicure. Now that sandal season is upon us I thought that now would be a good time to cash it in.

I don't know what I get up to, but whenever I paint my nails within twenty-four hours there is usually a chip or a smudged nail. When my manicurist told me about the nail polish brand CND and how their Vinylux Weekly Polish promises to last at least seven days (without a base coat!), I was definitely intrigued. 




The colour that I chose for my nails is called Cake Pop (cutest nail polish name!). Cake Pop is a totally opaque, almost chalky (in a good way!) pink with cool undertones. It only took two coats of the Vinylux Weekly Polish for her to cover my nails and she finished with the Vinylux Weekly top coat. It dried fairly quickly and so far I'm impressed. 

As the seven days aren't up yet, I cannot say whether or not this polish lives up to it's promises. I got my nails done on Thursday and today is Sunday. My nails still look just as great as they did when I first left the salon. I've done everything I normally do... Type feverishly on my keyboard, wash dishes rummage through my handbag, etc. However, once I reach the seven day mark I'll be sure to post whether or not the polish lasted. 


I am very pleased so far as normally my nails would have small chips by now. I would definitely purchase this nail polish in the future (even if it doesn't last the entire seven days). It is rather inexpensive, too. I saw online that it retails for about $10 per bottle, but I did find it on Amazon for less than that. And for what seems to be such a high quality polish you can't really go wrong! I can't wait to try out some more colours!

EDIT: This nail polish lasted the entire seven day period without any chipping. Only after about eleven days did it really start looking awful.

  1. Love the colour, so cute. I also find my nailpolish lasts less than a day before it has chips so this nailpolish definitely appeals to me !

  11. Such a lovely colour. The lasting power is great for even 3/4 days or however long it's been - some nail polishes start chipping after even one day and these still look freshly painted!

  12. Such a gorgeous colour, I use this on my clients but in shellac. Shellacs by CND too but is a form of gel polish. Can't believe it lasted so long looking so great, your nails look so lovely
