   This really is a great product. It’s perfect for the natural and sheer but impeccably polished look. It does exactly what it claims: it makes nails look naturally white, plus it blurs and imperfections on their surface.Two coats are just enough. It can look a bit streaky as you apply it, but once it settles on the nails and starts to dry the streaks disappear and you get a nice, smooth look.
   It’s on the expensive side alright but the quality is really there. I would definitely recommend it and although I bought it on a total whim, I would gladly buy again.

   The only way I could get this was to order it online to be shipped from Poland (brand source) to USA, so even though the product cost $10 I ultimately paid $18.50 total with shipping. So it ended up being pretty pricey but I’d buy it again b/c it is as close to my favorite discontinued sheer white nailpolish as I have ever found. I’ve lamented repeatedly in other reviews about the loss of my beloved Bourjois Lissant Blanchissant over a number of years, the whole time searching for that truly crisp cool-toned sheer white that makes natural nails pop w/the look of health & youthful vibrance.

   I’ve tried a number of sheer whites but they have all been creamy or ivory in tone, not clean blue-toned white. I’ve frankened my own but over time the color took on a grayish cast. Other cool-toned sheer whites have a slightly pearlescent/opalescent/iridescent shimmer that’s not really what I want. Inglot is almost perfect – that true cool white that makes nails look really clean & sharp, a sheer cream formula that’s buildable to opacity with no shimmer to it, & the packaging is pleasant & easy to use (square bottle, regular brush but flared at the tip for smooth application). I would say this is a watered down dupe of my beloved Bourjois that was discontinued (Inglot is a bit more watery in texture, whereas Bourjois was more jelly textured). The sheerness is beautiful & barely streaks with 1 thin coat. My sheer white manicures are back!

   Previously I was using Rimmel’s whitener which was great but it was discontinued (bad move rimmel). I was so happy that I stumbled across this because nail whiteners are suprisingly hard to come by.

   While the price was a bit on the high side, I am crazy in love with this. I’ve been going through a bright polish phase which has unfortunately left my nails looking a little gross. Two coats of this bad boy and it looks like I’ve had a french manicure. The violet tint in the polish counteracts the yellow stains, leaving a soft, natural pink finish. It also makes the white stand out.

   I always use this as a base coat (I like the idea of having a bit of a colour barrier between my nail and the colour I’m using) and as long as I do two coats it stops the stains.

   If I take nail polish off and find that it has stained (only stains if I neglect to use this), I give my nails a buff to get rid of the surface yellowing, give them a good trim and then apply 2 coats of this and my nails look so much better. I’m currently trying to grow out the last of the stains that buffing won’t get rid of, and using this has stopped me caving in and painting over the yellow grossness.

   EDIT: I would recommend a using a base and/or top coat with this to make it last a little longer as it tends to crack after day 2 or 3.
