You may remember that a while ago, I wore a CND Vinylux nail polish and blogged about my experience using it in conjunction with the matching Weekly Top Coat.

This time, thanks to Trade Secrets, I was able to try CND Vinylux Married to the Mauve!

It’s a creme polish with a dusty, greyish mauve hue that I really think is sophisticated, but still interesting and fun.

Now, CND recommends that you skip the base coat because it’s built into the coloured polish and use the CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat, but this time, I decided to see what would happen if I rebelled! 😉 Hehe, yes, that’s right, I wore my usual base coat and my favourite shiny, fast-drying top coat. Check out the rest of my post to learn the results!

Note: My camera captured CND Vinylux Married to the Mauve as more of a dark purple. In real life it’s lighter and has more noticeable grey tones mixed in with the mauve.

A few weeks ago, Trade Secrets reached out to me and asked if I’d like to try the new CND Vinylux Weekly Polishes.

They let me pick a couple of shades from the line, and they also sent me the CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat, which is meant to be used in conjunction with the Weekly Polish.

One of the colours I chose was CND Vinylux Daring Escape because I don’t have too many dusty blues, and I thought the shimmer in this one would be interesting.

Although I don’t typically wear the same nail polish for a full week straight, I was still intrigued to test them out because I know that a lot of my readers would be interested to see how well it holds up.

To properly test out the longevity of CND Vinylux Daring Escape, I wore it for 6 consecutive days without any touch-ups.

I am pretty hard on my hands, and at work, I need to be on the keyboard constantly. (No princess fingernails here! I guess they’d be called peasant fingernails! Hehehehe!)
