REVIEW: Urban Outfitters' "Sunshine" nail polish


My left hand painted Urban Outfitters's Sunshine


Since summer was right around the corner (it's almost autumn now, eek!), I wanted to pick up some brighter shades of nail polish perfect for the season. I stopped by Urban Outfitters during my recent trip to Chicago and picked up three bottles. I've never tried UO's nail polish before so I was eager to give it a go especially with a nice price of $5 or 2/$8. I finally got around to doing my nails today in Sunshine. It's a bright, bright yellow but not quite neon. It is so pretty and eye-catching without drawing too much attention like a neon might. Although I was initially impressed with the color, I was disappointed with the formula. The first coat I applied was streaky and not at all opaque. After applying a second coat, I inspected the polish and still wasn't too impressed. My nails turned out to be a lovely shiny sunshine yellow as the name suggests but the color was not evenly dispersed so they were a little disappointing.

Final: B

Notice—I think all solid colors from Urban are a bit streaky as I tried another color I picked up the other day. The outcome was very similar to Sunshine with a nice color but a disappointing formula.
