L'OrÉAl Jet Set

Pros: Dries very quick, variety of colors
Cons: None for me, but some feel it dries darker

Picture if you will ...

9:00 pm one night, and I've promised my husband I will be off-line "in a minute" and put away the clothes tumbling all over my bed so he can go to sleep.

Oh No! .. I quickly realize that...

Pros: Easy application, wide selection of colors, dries fast
Cons: Average lasting, (that’s good in my case!)The real price,

I have a lot of nail polish, in just about every color. Usually the reason I get a new one is because I like the color, doh, isn’t that the reason for us all. I am constantly getting more. I especially love it when there is a sale, so I get the color I ...

Pros: The shape of the bottle makes it easy for me to hold on to.
Cons: Doesn't even last a day. Their advertising - lies...all lies.

Preamble
I've got issues. I didn't used to be so girly. I used to be so happy with bare, stubby, and unmanicured nails. I didn't used to be so high maintenance.

I blame this all on Bijou and Dustygold.
...

Pros: first layer dries fast, no need for a top coat
Cons: color changes, its thick and slimy

I am not a girly-girl. Never have been, and will never be. Tomboy is what I was called growing up, and it continues to be ruler of my life. I therefore rarely paint my nails and prefer light colors, one coat, fast dry. That way I don't have to bother...

Pros: Does dry fast!
Cons: Everything else- see below

I purchased Loreal Jet Set Top Coat. I don't usually use top coat but I needed it to apply these adorable little nail decals I had. So during a quick trip to the grocery store I grabbed the first good looking top coat that I saw. I had heard a seen a few...

Pros: Dries within seconds
Cons: Chips within hours; streaking, uneven application

With two young children and too little time, I am ever the impatient nail polish wearer. Although I religiously stick to my morning makeup routine, I rarely budget enough time for a proper nail polish application, whether to my fingers or to my toes....

Pros: Lots of beautiful colors, fast drying time
Cons: Applies thick and messy

**For specifications about the experiment I have undertaken I suggest reading the first review in this series, it contains specifics about why I have under taken this project and what I hope to achieve. These reviews are however meant to be stand-alone...

Pros: some colours last, wide range of colours, cheap
Cons: some colours don't last

As of today, 18 April 2001, I own over 100 bottles of nail polish. Everything from cheap “Wet N’ Wild” brand polish to expensive MAC and Urban Decay polish can be found in my cabinet. Half of these polishes rarely see the light of day, but all have been...

Pros: Upbeat colors that won't depress your pocketbook.
Cons: Sometimes clumpy finish, heavy concentration of color.

On the whole, librarians have been (I'd like to say unfairly) stereotypes as professionals who lack a sense of style. Hey, I am not willing to go out and say there aren't other members of other professions who don't live up to other's expectations. But...

Pros: Truly dries in an instant! Funky, wild colors, available everywhere!
Cons: Some shades dry with a matte finish, so you must use top coat; glittery colors are stubborn and hard to remove

I’m neurotic about my toes.

Year round, I keep my tootsies soft, sloughed, and painted. Even when I have no fingernails to speak of (I go back and forth between having a silk overlay, and attempting to grow out my own thin, weak...

Pros: Quick drying as advertised, cool colors, not expensive.
Cons: MY fingernails chip quickly.

Out of all the new "Quick Dry" nail polishes out there, it seems to me that L'Oreal Jet Set is the best. It lives up to expectations in most areas, they're not too expensive, and the colors are fresh and modern. I bought this polish mainly...

Pros: Rich colors and even application
Cons: Not tough enough for the abuse I heap on it

Nail polish has never been a high priority for me. If I were taking a spin around the world with only one small bag for all my belongings, you can be certain that nail polish would not even figure into the decision of what to pack. Since my business is...

Pros: Some lovely colors
Cons: Some bottles I have gotten are thick and unusable

Do you love the thrill of feeding quarters into slot machines? Do you faithfully play the Powerball every week, even though you've never matched more than 2 numbers on a ticket? If this is you, Loreal Jet Set nailpolish may be for you!

...

Pros: Dries quickly, affordable, wide range of shades
Cons: Color dries a different shade on me than expected, dull finish

Like almost any woman who does her own nails most of the time, I'm always in search of the perfect shade of glossy red. Actually, I have two or three favorite shades of red: bright, orange red for summer, deeper bright red with gold undertones...

Pros: Quick drying, available in a range of colors
Cons: Chips easily, applicator brush separates easily

I just recently began wearing nail polish daily after several years of wearing it for only special occasions. My 2 year old daughter is a big fan of nail polish too, so on a recent trip to the store, she helped me pick up some new nail polish. Drawn to...
