Review: Peripera Nail Polish

PP108 (Holy Lavender), PK20 (Raspberry Pink), YE904 (Banana Candy), GR306 (Viva Green), GR301 (Vanilla Mint), WH803 (Snow White), WH804 (Diamond Silver), BK501 (Chic Black)

Price: 7500 Won for 4 (promotional price). Usual price is 9000 won for 4.
After conversion, and adding shipping price, I got them for about SGD 2.60.

The reason why we ended up getting 8 bottles is because you can only order in 4s. And because I wanted to get a plain black and white, and sis also wanted get some.. we ended up getting 8. And yes... I got the wrong white. -cries- I wanted a plain creme white. There weren't a lot of actually swatches / bottle photos around and the colour chart they have was not useful at all.. I managed to find a bottle photo from another seller but I guess I was still blind enough to pick the wrong white. ): I don't know what to do with this bottle.

I decided to try Peripera's nail polishes because there were some good reviews online. Peripera claims this nail polish to be "one touch (=one stroke/coat), (dries in) one minute, (lasts) one week".

"One touch" isn't totally inaccurate. The brush is thick, so you can cover your nail in one stroke. However, one coat is definitely not enough.. I find that 2 thin coats work better for me. Banana Candy (the yellow) also had great formula. Somehow, I find that yellow nail polishes usually come with some problem with the formula.. it is usually a bit streaky and harder to apply. But this was easy to apply! Another yellow nail polish with awesome formula is Topshop's Lady Marmalade. I love that colour!!

As for "One minute"... well, it does dry to touch after 1 minute, but still dent-able (what's that word?). I'm not sure about the "one week" claim, but I've seen both positive and negative reviews about the wear.. Probably differs with the type of top coat you are using? I don't usually wear a colour for one whole week, so this does not bother me at all.

One thing to add is that they don't have a glossy finish, so you'll definitely have to wear top coat over them.

Overall, I think they are worth purchasing. They are inexpensive, so it is a good chance to try out colours that you don't usually buy.
