REVIEW - Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant 300 - Vio-last

This would have to be one of my favourite polishes – it is just one that I seem to keep coming back to over and over again. This is the only Covergirl nail polish I own, which comes from the Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss collection.

According to Covergirl, you won't need a topcoat with these shades - here's what they had to say about the range:

"Dare to go topless with our new nail polish formula that combines a base coat, high gloss color, and a chip-resistant top coat in one simple step."

Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant – 300 vio-last is a gorgeous violet crème, which applies like a dream. You could easily get away with one coat, but I usually use two for good measure. It is also so glossy that it doesn’t really need a top coat; of course, that isn’t going to stop me from using one anyway! I can’t help it - I just love the way my nails look with that little bit of extra gloss. It does also tend to give your manicure that little bit of extra staying power.

I particularly love this shade for half-moon manicures; leave a comment below if you would like a tutorial on how to achieve this look. I’ve used it with Sally Hansen Hard As Nails 850 – Pumping Iron, as well as Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 370 – Black Out.

Overall, I would highly recommend this polish. Let me know if you own this polish, or any others from the range - I really should try some more Covergirl polishes. In the photo, I have used one coat of Vio-last over Sally Hansen Hard As Nails 850 – Pumping Iron, with a coat of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Top Coat over the top. Unfortunately, I had worn this manicure for a couple of days before applying the top coat and I didn't take any photos in the first couple of days, so there is a little bit of tip wear!
