Sation Nail Lacquer "Love at First Byte" Review
I'm starting to find more time for my reviews so expect a lot more to come in the near future!
A couple of months ago, I received a bottle of Sation Nail Lacquer in "Love At First Byte" from Ipsy. From first look, I wasn't too excited about the color. I like to wear bright or pastel colors. Nude nail polishes aren't really my thing. Unless I'm trying to look a little more professional, which was when I decided to try this out :) I saw this color on Amazon for $3.40 if any of you are interested in trying it out.
As soon as I started to take the brush out of the bottle, I noticed how thin the polish was. Did any of you have that problem when you put it on? I've never used Sation nail lacquer before so I wasn't sure if that was normal for their polishes.
It wasn't even noticeable after one application. It took 4 coats to get the coverage that I have in this picture. If you look at the bottom 2 fingers, you can still see my tips through the polish. I probably should have gone with 5 coats but I thought that was a little excessive.
My overall experience with Sation was pretty negative. The price is great and totally affordable but the coverage was really poor. I wouldn't buy another bottle of their polish based on how this polish turned out. I might give them another shot one day, it would have to be a darker color though. They just need to make their nude shades with a thicker formula for more coverage. It was really easy to take off with some nail polish remover.

The colour is good with your skintone, but 4 coats is way too much work. I've never tried this brand myself.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it does match my skin color very well! I just think that 5 coats of a polish is WAY too much
DeleteI'm with you. I wasn't impressed at all.
ReplyDeletei have heard that sation seems to be sheer in all the colours i've seen reviewed, which is just too annoying for me to ever want to try the brand :(

I've never tried this brand - what a waste of $$ and time. How dumb to water their product down like that. thanks for taking the courage to post how it was for you.
ReplyDeleteMost of their polishes I have found are not watered down or sheer. I've been quite pleased. However, the lighter toned polishes do require more coats. I haven't found this to be true with the darker colors. 2 coats and I'm done.
