My Take on the product:

I received two of the shades on NELF's nail enamels in shade NSE02 Pink Pop and NSE12 Sparkling Rose. So talking about both in this post today..

NSE02 Pink Pop is a soft pink shade with a coral tinge into it.

In a single coat with its decent sized brush, I get pretty good coverage. The texture of the nail enamel is easy to spread smoothly as I glide the brush on nails, though takes little time to dry up.

Just like most of my nail enamels, I swatched it two coats to get the premium finish in its real color and whoa I loved my nails ;) Remember to let the first coat dry properly before you apply the second coat for a rich finish.

Pink Pop is an appropriate shade for regular day-to-day application if you are not in a habit of changing your nail paint every now and then.

NSE12 Sparkling Rose is a shade that can perk up your party look instantly. Its a brilliant scarlet shade somewhere between red and orange. And the glittery bronze particles in the nail paint makes it a passionate party color.

I found it quicker to dry up than the Pink Pop shade (though not measured exact time) ;) The rich payoff made me fall in love with the shade truly. The super smooth and glossy finish without any bumps while application is pretty admirable.

Sparkling Rose is a glam alternate to regular red/maroon nail colors and can be worn without worrying of getting it in sync with your outfit color unlike yellows, greens.

I would also give the nail enamels a plus for non-chipping formula that lasted as good as new for 4-5 days, after which minor chip off on the edges needs to be given retouching. The brand recommends starting with the base coat and end with top coat over the nail enamels to make it last longer, but I haven't used any of those to find the actual durability being my first experience with the products. The staying power of 4-5 days is pretty ok for me while I do all my household chores myself.
