duri 791 Berry Margarita - Neon Purple Nail Polish, Semi Matte, Fast Drying, 0.45 Fl Oz

The color is much darker. Online it looked deep purple with a shimmer but the shine was from the bottle. The real color is nearly black. That said, the quality is there and it looks nice on my nails. A sharp contrast to my light skin.

I was looking for something like Chanel 683 Sunrise Trip, a vintage polish known for its subtle sheen and deep saturation. Perhaps not a dupe per se, but this polish seems pretty dang close!! The website’s description is more accurate than on Amazon, “Electric indigo purple nail paint including a faint purple shimmer.” So not blue, as other reviewers have said, but also not a true purple. It’s almost different colors in different lighting. It looks almost black in low lighting, dark indigo in medium lighting, and is electric purple with a purple/blue shimmer in direct sun. I have it compared to Mooncat’s Queen of Chaos and Holo Taco’s Royal-Tea Blue for comparison. It’s hard to capture the color accurately on camera. I got it fully saturated on my swatch in 3 coats. I will say it looks like a dark blue in the first coat, but the indigo comes through in the second and third coats. It is very quick-drying.

Color: Iced Roses Love this beautiful pink! Love this brand.

This polish is a really pretty shade of sage/teal. It is classy and not too shouty of a color. The brush and polish quality were nice and made things easy to apply. It is not as pearlescent as the pictures of the product seemed to imply. I added gold foil and sally hansen’s crystal top coat for a little extra shimmer accent, and used Essie gel couture as top coat. Seems durable but will update if it lasts under a week!

First, the pearl pink is lovely. An understated soft metallic pink. If you want your nails to pop, it isn’t the color for you. It’s subtle and exactly what I was looking for though. Second, this polish dries super fast. Too fast. You only have maybe 5 seconds or so per nail before it dries. After that, it streaks badly. I took the polish off, and started over, painting each nail lightening fast. The result was good, but not great. Third, it’s opaque and only takes one coat, which I appreciate. But fourth, all the work was for nothing because as soon as I applied my top coat, a chalky whiteish finish completely ruins it. A chemical reaction. But why? I’ve been using this top coat for 10-15 years and have never had it do that. In fact, I’ve been painting my nails regularly since I was 14 and have never had this happen. I’ve added a photo but it’s kind of hard to see the chalky tips. Now I’ll take it all off and throw this bottle away. A polish that reacts this way is not even worth $1 to me, much less what I paid. Update: a day later and it’s chipping already. That never happens to me with my usual brands…OPI, Zoya or Essie…unless I’m doing really hard housework/yard work or if I hit my hand super hard on something. Absolutely love the color, so really disappointed in the quality of this polish. They need to work on this formula.

When I opened the package I thought I was sent the wrong color, but checked the name and it was correct. The image is not, at all, an accurate representation of the actual bottled color, which is a much lighter color that I definitely wouldn't classify as orange or fire, but a light coral/peach and with far more shimmer (I'd say glitter, but it's not, it feels smooth enough after painting) than depicted. I could tell even before application that it was a more translucent color, and would take several coats so I wouldn't be able to see my nail through the polish. Unfortunately, additional coats didn't deepen the color at all. I'm not happy with the misrepresentation of the color and shimmer, and would never have bought this had I seen it beforehand. If that color sounds appealing though, then here's my unbiased review. I applied 3 coats with zero base or top coat (to test this brand I has never used) and it held up almost a week without major chipping on all nails, as other reviewers noted. Of course, this had taken 3 coats to become (nearly) fully opaque, and the extra layers may have added some longevity as a result. Once the chipping did begin on certain nails, it only took a few days for the polish to be essentially gone. However, 10 days after application and the polish on the unchipped nails remains almost fully intact, so reapplying shouldn't be frequent. I often wait for a coat to dry before applying the next. Time was against me and I only waited 5 minutes between coats. This is NOT a quick dry polish by any means, regardless of how many coats you do, so plan on drying time (30 mins - 1hr.) Overall, I'd be willing to try them again for the durability of the polish alone, but only if I could see the color before buying.

bought as a gift. great colour, exactly as i expected. nice subtle shimmer. they were pleased.

This is a good polish that covers in one coat, worth the price point.
