Secondly, as you know from previous blogs. Here at Rhi Rhi Nails It, we don’t sleep on nail polish. It has Its place, and we love it!

Pigment

Colour pigment is key to an effective nail polish. A standard procedure manicure or pedicure will consist of 2 colour coats. There are products that allow one coat of colour, but this would change the formation, in turn effecting other areas of the product. 2 colour coats are optimal, with this in mind you don’t want poor colour pigment, which would create the problem of needing 3 coats. This will cause thickness, slower drying times and potential product bleed into the cuticle area.

So, measuring your nail polish on what 2 colour coats look like is an excellent standard of practice.

ZOYA vegan nail polish needs 2 coats as it is pigmented but also a runnier consistency.

Consistency

Consistency is also one of the key points to look for when shopping for nail polish.

ZOYA’s runny consistency is helpful for a smooth glide but it does mean you must not overload the brush as you will flood the cuticle area.

Drying time

Lastly, the drying time of this product is not fast and not slow. Just the sweet spot in the middle. Bear in mind that a quick drying polish is great if you are a super speeding nail painter. The heat of the natural nail will start the polish drying straight away. If you paint slowly, you want the polish you are laying down to still allow for slight corrections from the brush. A fast-drying nail polish could potentially start dry streaking straight away.

A slow drying product causes a different problem all together. It will cause smudge damage for a long period of time.

In conclusion, the size of the bottle, the colour pigment, the consistency, the dry time and the price are all in equal proportion. ZOYA vegan nail polish is an excellent product for professional and home DIY manicures alike.
