Budget Beauty Review: Pretty™ Blueberry Pie Nail Polish

Second post of the day today, hope you aren't getting too annoyed!

I've been meaning to test out this new nail polish that I acquired whilst shopping in Poundland the other week. It was quite exciting because I've never tried out this brand before and I am a lover of bargains so a large 13ml bottle of nail polish for only £1 made me very happy. However, it's all well and good buying the product, cheaply but does it do what it's meant to do? Well that's what I tried out today.

I decided to do a simple sparkle French manicure using the polish and these were my results:


  1. Brush The brush is of a good size, similar to the Barry M brush, but maybe a little larger. It is not as wide as the OPI brush that the bottle resembles. I found that I could coat my nails evenly with 2-3 strokes, which I think is very positive as many other higher end nail polishes do not do that.
  2. Coverage No streaks! I was pleasantly surprised as I could achieve almost opaque results with only one coat. There are very few nail polishes on the market that offer this type of flawless coverage, but none for only £1. To make the nail completely flawless, I would probably do 2 coats, but seriously, one is enough. 
  3. Drying Amazingly, this polish didn't take a lot of time to dry either. It took around five minutes to dry completely, although I would be careful as it smudges very easily during this drying process. 
  4.  Smell The smell of the varnish is pretty nasty at first so make sure to do this in a well ventilated area. The packaging claims to have a Blueberry Pie smell, which apparent maybe 3 minutes into the drying process. The smell is really nice, and actually smells of blueberry pie, but unfortunately the smell does fade throughout the day. 
Overall verdict 
I would give this product 4 out of 5 stars because you definitely get what you paid for with this product. One thing I would have lived would be a wider brush, but I know that for the price I paid, what it came with was sufficient!



What Bargain Beauty product should I review next?
Lots of Love
