LONDONTOWN Illuminating Nail Concealer - Sheer Brightening Nail Polish & Strengthener for Yellowing, Damaged or Discolored Nails, Natural Nail Perfector, 21+ Free, 0.4 Fl Oz

I have been an OPI Infinite Shine system (base, 2 coats color, top coat) girl for years! It wears up to 14 days if you use the three part system and looks like a gel manicure. But, I have stopped using the OPI product due to (a) you need all three parts for it to wear well, (b) it takes forever to dry, (c) the base and top coat are not compatible with Essie, and (d) dries my nails out making them brittle and prone to stress fractures. Since switching to the Londontown Kur Nail Veil (pink) my nails do not fracture. I have one product and apply only 3 coats. The pink is very “clean girl” or “soap nails” in color, and has a very slight lavender undertone. It’s a beautiful, sheer, nude pink with a cool undertone. If you like Essie’s Mademoiselle color, the pink nail veil is very similar, I update my manicure to every 7 days due to outgrowth at the cuticle, but this polish lasts as long as 16 days if I need it to do so, such as when traveling. It doesn’t peel or chip as long as your nails are completely dry, there is not oil/lotion/soap residue on your nails, you use thin coats and let them dry at least 20 minutes between coats. I put on a good on-demand show or movie, or podcast and do my nails. I also wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning to keep my hands and nails from water. I have nice nails to begin with, but this polish made them even better. I am already a repeat buyer and will keep buying!

I normally don’t wear nail polish as I’m too hard on my hands and don’t like most colors on me. This polish is great! Very subtle color, makes your nails look finished even if not a professional manicure. Easy to apply.

I am sharing my experience with this polish. I was skeptical after reading the reviews about it chipping and peeling, but I tried it anyway. I applied two coats and went about my usual stuff. I scoured tubs and sinks with powdered cleanser, I polished stainless steel pans with powdered cleanser, I opened multiple boxes and removed labels. I did not wear gloves or avoid using my nails. Not a chip or scratch anywhere. Tonight, I removed the polish to redo my nails and discovered that my nails had improved immensely. They look like I never had an issues, and I did have some. I am ordering another color. Best nail product I’ve ever used-and I am 73 years old! It also looks very classy!

Pros: - LONG lasting (6+ days with top coat) - customizable (can add layers for opaque color) - doesn’t damage or discolor nails - great as a base coat for other polishes Cons: - hard to remove - bottle doesn’t last long when you use multiple layers This has become my staple daily nail polish. It lasts longer than any other regular nail polish I’ve tried (regular meaning not gel or others that need cured). I’ve used this several times and it consistently lasts 6+ days without a touch up. I usually add 2-3 layers depending on how opaque I want it to be. 1 layer is really sheer and very natural, which also looks great but I usually do more than 1. I’ve tried the original, pink and bubble. I much prefer the pink (it’s a VERY light pink shade, more pinkish white with more than 1 layer). This is a great daily shade or a great base coat for other polishes. I also want to add that I haven’t tried it without a top coat. I always use a top coat but this polish still lasts longer comparatively. I usually use OPI and get around 4 days before I need a touch up on the edges or complete redo. This easily lasts twice as long. My holy grail top is Esse Gel Couture Quick Dry Top Coat - which you can also grab on Amazon and it doesn’t need cured despite “gel” being in the title. Pictures show the last time I used it. (I painted them quickly so not my best work lol but I always forget to take pics for a review). I show it over 8 days and now my edges are starting to wear away. I will also say that it’s a bit hard to take off and find that I often need to use acetone first, which I don’t love bc it’s drying, but I just follow with a nourishing remover and use lotion or cuticle oil so my nails don’t dry out.

If you’re like me and care about ingredients and stuff like that I included the Yuka app rating. Even though I don’t like that the ingredients aren’t the best, I’m still keeping it cause the quality is excellent and it’s exactly what I want. I do dishes and cook and clean daily so I wanted a protective coat on my nails that wasn’t just transparent and I didn’t want to bother with gel or acrylics. This is a great option if you want something low maintenance that still makes your nails look pretty. I used a clear base coat and applied just one coat of the pink nail concealer (pictured). That’s all I needed. It takes about 6 minutes to dry but I wouldn’t put pressure on them for at least 20 mins just to be sure. For example, I put oven gloves on 5 mins after and they all got a slight textured pattern on them. The smell is pretty strong too so I’d suggest opening a window when using this if you’re sensitive. The colour looks great though and it hasn’t chipped or peeled. I think it helps keep my nails strong too. I think this polish has a steep price tag for such a small bottle, but if you’re like me and do your nails at home then I think it’s worth it.

I’m a recovering gel nail girl. I was looking for a way to still have something on my nails (I hate the look of my natural nails). I tried regular nail polish and found that the dry time wasn’t worth the payout of having it chip a few days later. This stuff is AMAZING! It looks great and dries fully within 10-15 minutes. It looks perfect for about 3-4 days and then will start to chip, but because it dries so quickly, it’s a good trade off for me. I ordered the red one and can’t wait to use it!

Looks nice, but I’ve put it on twice now and both times I was able to just peel it off! Maybe it’s me but not worth the money to me.

Love the color, it goes on easily, dries fast, and it is long lasting

Grey fades into a soft pink on my nail tips. this is a brilliant nail polish. Im going to try the pink one next

I’m happy with my product and the quick arrival time.

Lovely nail polish that doesn’t wear quickly and makes your nails look so healthy. A natural polished look for all occasions.

I love it.

This goes on and on stays on. Would buy again.
