Hey guys, and welcome back to another review
video. So this one is on one of the Pretty
Woman NYC Nailmedic nail polishes. Which,
interestingly, this is not on their website,
so I don't know if this was an Ipsy exclusive,
or if this is like a preview shade that they're
testing out, or if it's a past shade that,
the only way to get it is through Ipsy now?
I don't really know, cos they only have 4
Nailmedic polishes on their whole site, and
none of them are this one. All of them have
a different ingredient in them, so it's a
little bit intriguing. They're $7.99 a-piece,
which isn't too bad for what all they are.
But this one is lemongrass and biotin infused
nail polish. for health, strong, beautiful
nails. And it is in the color Mauvy or Nice,
which, I adore this shade, by the way. I was
kinda surprised with it in two different directions.
The first direction was apparently, because
of its more natural nature, with all the virus
stuff going on and all the disinfecting measures
we're taking? There's a lot of Purrell, a
lot of Clorox wipes, a lot of just...really
sanitary stuff being used with your hands.
I found out the hard way the first time I
applied it, that stuff will strip the color
right out of this and turn to white. It's
like, ohhhh. And that was with a top coat,
by the way, so I was like okay, let's start
over. Because I was doing my first trial run
with this stuff to be able to review it. So
I took it off, started fresh, and every time
I've used hand sanitizer or anything since
then, I've been very mindful to try to keep
it off my nails as best I can, and same with
using Clorox wipes and such, trying to make
sure I use the pads of my fingers and like,
the heel of my hand, this part of my hand
as well, to like rub with it, but not let
my nails touch it. So this time, I actually
got better wear out of it, and even after
literally a week and a half, since I put them
on last not this past, but last Saturday morning,
it is late in Tuesday afternoon now, so it's
almost exactly a week and a half later, and
I mean yes, there's chips, but it took longer
for them to happen than normal. Normally by
this point, there would be at least one or
two nails totally devoid of polish, it would've
stripped off in the shower by this point,
just popped off, chipped off, flaked off,
what have you. Like I said, it's not like
it's without chips. There's definitely, especially
on this hand for whatever reason, there is
still a bunch of chips, so it's not impervious
to chippage, but it seems to hold up better
than a lot of nail polishes, so take that
for what you will. So as long as you don't
let it get stripped of color, by like things
with alcohol in it and such, I think, and
strong chemicals, you're golden. Now, let
us read the box, I should've done this first
so I didn't exactly do this in order since
I suck. So, alright. On this side, our nail
polishes are 10-free: cruelty-free, paraben-free,
sulfate-free, pthalate-free, GMO-free, and
triclosan-free. So there's that. And it's
.3 fluid ounces, so I think that's actually
more than a lot of nail polish bottles have
in them. It's standard for Pretty Woman NYC,
but, you know, it's a good size, and this
was just with 2 coats. I didn't even do my
usual 3, it held up very well. And the brush
is about to be expected, I mean, it's just
your standard brush, nothing fancy, nothing
crazy. The thicker top on it, I find for me,
is actually easier to keep a steady hand with
when applying than the little skinny ones,
dunno why that is, not sure if it's just me,
and I assume it's because of the more natural
nature of this. I mean, I can't claim it's
all natural, because it's nail polish. There's
no such thing. But, it's a lot healthier than
a lot of them are for a lot of the stuff that's
not in this one that's in others. It doesn't
smell that bad, I don't get a headache from
using it or anything, so I think that speaks
volumes that it is considerably healthier
to use than a lot of other nail polishes on
the market. So I personally would highly,
highly, highly recommend this one, if you
can get ahold of it. Now, I don't know what
the trick is to finding this one to purchase.
If any of you guys know that information,
please leave it down below, I'm gonna check
Amazon and leave my affiliate link down in
the description box if I can find any on there,
but if there is, I am positive it's gonna
be from third-party sellers, so... I dunno,
I'm not sure why this isn't on their website,
they have so many other colors that are on
their website, but the Nailmedic line has
almost nothing. Weirdest thing. Weirdest thing.
So my rating for this guy, I'm going to rate
it, wait. That's the other thing I wanted
to mention. It has the little metal ball bearings
in there, so it actually mixes up nice and
well. I know, it's been like a trendy thing
to be more eco-friendly to not have that in
there, but, I'm sorry, it works so much better
when it has it, and brands that have that,
automatically I like them more. I just do.
You are free to disagree with me on that,
but I personally like them better when they
have that in it. Ones that don't have that
in it, little secret, I have some ball bearings
that are little itty bitty ones that I bought
from a hardware store just to add in as mixer
balls in ones that don't have it, because
they just, I'm sorry, like, I can sit here
and go like this all frigging day, and it's
not gonna adequately mix a lot of them, I've
seen them separate colors and stuff from not
having that in that in there. I pop like,
2 of those in there, shake it up, oh, magically
they're great now! So, I'm sorry, I'm a strong
believer in the ball bearing mixer balls.
So, this has it, I like it more for it. Now
as I was saying, I'm rating this a 4 out of
5, I'm only not giving it that 5 because of
the availability issue. Should they make this
more easily accessible to purchase? Feel free
to retroactively pop this up to a 5 out of
5, because that is my only issue here, apart
from maybe the uh, issue with it stripping
colors, but I'm not sure if that's just a
nail polish thing in general, I haven't really
played enough with or taken notice with different
nail polishes to see if they've really done
that with using hand sanitizers and things
too. I hadn't really noticed it, but maybe
they all do it? So that's why I'm not factoring
that into the score here, because that could
just be a nail polish thing, period. But the
availability issue, that is, that is a big
deal with this, so, anyways. That's about
it for this one for me, so, as usual, you
