Benecos Nail Polish in Wild Orchid and Grenade

Benecos: “Hip, Trendy and Affordable!” Certified natural cosmetics. Benecos can be purchased at this link

I have two nail polish colors to share with you: Wild Orchid and Grenade. (If you’d like to see a previous post of another Benecos color, I was able to sample, Deep Plum, in the True Beauty Box.)

Wild Orchid:

This is a beautiful medium berry color. I applied a base coat, then applied two coats of Wild Orchid on my nails for an opaque look. This Benecos nail polish is easy to apply and you’ll get a fantastic, shiny color, even without a top coat. Yes, I did apply a top coat on my nails for the photo, but it is absolutely not necessary to achieve the shine. If, however, you want your nail polish to last longer, you should apply a top coat. I had to change my polish after two days, but notably, I had no chips at all in that time.

It’s a beautiful color, no matter what light. I wanted to make sure to have the color accurate, however. You can see in the photo below that it is not a red color.

Grenade:

I applied a base coat and then added Grenade on top of it. This creamy red color is beautiful, and I probably could have gotten away with one coat of polish. For the photo though, I put on two coats, and then a top coat. A top coat is not necessary for it to be shiny, but will make your polish last longer. I kept this polish on for 4 days before I changed it, and I didn’t have even the slightest chip!

At night, with a flash:

Each Benecos polish is $11.99 for 9 ml, and the formula, the colors I’ve tested, and the ease of use, make it a high quality nail polish. Nothing negative to write at all.
