A Quick and Real Review of This Clean Nail Polish
This nail polish honestly surprised me from the very first use. It’s a natural, fast-drying, gel-like formula without all the harsh chemicals most polishes usually have. The color comes out super vibrant, lasts a long time, and the best part is that it actually feels healthier for your nails. One thing I really loved is that it dries in under a minute literally and it leaves a beautiful shine from the very first coat. The curved brush fits the shape of the nail perfectly, so applying it is super easy and almost impossible to mess up or leave streaks. Plus, the formula includes plant-based extracts that help repair damaged nails, which for me is a huge bonus since my nails sometimes get weak from constant polishing. As for longevity, I can definitely say it lasts up to 10 days without chipping, which very few polishes can actually achieve. I used it after cleaning my nails really well, prepping my cuticles, and applying a basecoat like usual. I applied one coat, and it already looked great, but I added a second layer to intensify the color, and then finished with a topcoat. If you want it to dry even faster, the P.D. Quick Dry drops work amazingly well. Another thing I liked is how well it pairs with other products from the same line, like the Horse Power basecoat if your nails are weak, or the Quickfix Cuticle Balm to keep your cuticles hydrated and give your nails an extra glossy look. The formula is cleaner than most traditional polishes, with ingredients like hibiscus extract, vitamin E, and wakame seaweed to help keep nails healthy.

My Honest Review of This Nail Polish
After trying this nail polish, I honestly ended up liking it way more than I expected. I love that it’s a fast-drying, gel-like formula without all the harsh chemicals that most regular polishes have. It feels lighter on the nails, but still gives super vibrant color right from the first coat. One thing that really stood out to me was the brush. It has this curved shape that basically hugs the nail, so the application comes out smooth and streak-free—even if you’re not great at painting your nails. The color payoff is amazing with just one coat, though I still like applying two out of habit. In terms of wear time, it actually delivers. On me, it lasted about a week without chipping, which is impressive for a polish that isn’t UV gel. And the drying time is no joke—it dries in under a minute without needing any lamp or extra tools. I followed the recommended prep steps (cleaning the nails, exfoliating cuticles, using a base coat), and I feel like it made a big difference in the final result. I also used their top coat and the quick-dry drops, and honestly it made the whole manicure look shinier and last longer. Another thing I really appreciate is that it has plant-based extracts that help repair nail damage. My nails tend to break easily, and I noticed this polish didn’t make them feel weak or dry.

Long-lasting shine
I received this product in exchange for my honest review as part of an educational promotion. I’ve been really enjoying the butter London Pure Color 21X Nail Lacquer. The formula feels smooth and not too thick, so it’s easy to apply without streaks. The curved brush hugs my nails nicely and helps me stay inside the lines, even on my non-dominant hand. It dries fairly fast and gives a glossy, gel-like shine that looks like a salon manicure. I also like that it’s 21-free and has ingredients like vitamin E, hibiscus, and wakame, so it doesn’t feel as harsh on my nails. With a good base and top coat, it lasts several days with minimal chipping. Overall, it’s a great polish with a cleaner formula.

Perfect
received this product in exchange for my honest review, and I’m genuinely impressed with the Pure Colour 21x Nail Lacquer in the shade Smashing!. The color is a rich, vibrant red that looks even more stunning on the nails than it does in the bottle. It has that classic, timeless elegance but still feels bold and modern — the perfect red for any season. The formula applies smoothly and evenly, without streaks or patchiness. I love that it has a slightly thicker consistency, which helps it glide on and gives great coverage in one coat, though I prefer two for a fully opaque, salon-like finish. It dries fairly quickly and leaves a glossy, high-shine look even without a top coat. In terms of lasting power, it held up better than many mainstream polishes I’ve tried. With a top coat, it stayed chip-free for several days, even with daily tasks. I also appreciate that Butter London uses cleaner ingredients, so the product feels safer and more gentle on the nails without compromising performance. Overall, Smashing! is a beautiful, high-quality shade that instantly elevates any look. If you’re searching for a long-lasting, pigmented red polish with a luxe finish, this one is definitely worth trying.

Gorgeous color but streaks on me
First of all being a woman who was just treated for endometrial cancer I have to say that I love the idea of the 21 ingredients not being in there. We don’t realize how much bad things are absorbed in our bodies and even sniffed! The curved brush is very nice as it makes it easier to ‘stay in the lines’the flat brushes get all over your cuticles and this one is tapered at the edges so you can keep it off your cuticles and try to do those long and smooth pain jobs that the professionals do. This color is absolutely my ideal color. I am light skinned Italian decent I tan easy and this is what I would consider my ‘nude’ I have many ridges on my nails and because of my illness they are in rough shape. I am also in menopause which dries out your nails and makes them crack which I can tell this polish will help. When put on correctly it’s a ballet pink/white that is going to be opaque if you want it to. Which is the way I like it But you can also make it sheer. My only problem is the texture I was not able to get it to go on without streaks. I have to use this with a base or a ridge filler. So half is user error half is the formula. I love the color so I am going to take it to a salon and see if I can get it to look the way I like it to look. Because I love the brand and everything they stand for.

Beautiful finish
As someone whose nails has become weak and breaks easily lately, I have been seeking a good for you kind of nail polish that would be gentle on my nails. The Butter London Pure Colour benefits is something that caught my attention. I tested out the Butter London to see how it works for my everyday lifestyle. I am always busy with my hands and it can be hard to keep a nail polish. This formula is extra thick than other nail polishes I have tested out. It did feel awkward to blend at first, but I got used to it. The formula allows it to last longer even during times when I am using my hands. It dries fast allowing me to pain my nails quickly when I am in a hurry. I appreciate this on days when I decide that I want to pain my nails quickly. The brush shape is unique in the way that it hugs the nails even for a beginner like me. I usually am so awkward when I paint my names. It’s easier with this brush head. The color payoff is pretty. I feel like one coat is enough for me. My nails looks healthier with the Butter London nail polish. I love that they have a great variety of color options. This is an incentivized review for my honest opinion.

Nice color
was skeptical that this would dry quickly, but thankfully I was proven wrong. The color was as described and looked beautiful when applied. The polish is a thinner consistency and still smells like traditional polishes. It’s pretty durable and I was able to get between 7-10 days of wear out of it before removing it. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this quick-drying polish.
