Beauty Review: Ulta Salon Formula Nail Lacquer

The Budget Beauty Babe reviews Ulta brand nail polish, and it's a hit! —BB

by The Budget Beauty Babe
Recently, I took advantage an Ulta.com offer to anyone who would hand over their email address in exchange for a coupon that entitles you to a free Ulta Salon Formula Nail Lacquer. I’ll try anything if its free (especially nowadays! Sheesh!). I was really very happy with my new polish. It works great, lasts forever and Ulta offers a ton of different shades, I’m pretty sure you can make a perfect match for any shade of pink or red or dark purple (great for Fall) that you may possibly need in your life. I love it, I think it’s a great polish and I have become a loyal customer. A little pricey on a regular day at full price ($5), but a fantastic deal with an Ulta coupon, or any of the many promotions they offer for their own line of products (it's on sale for $2.50 right now online.)

This nail polish is horrible! Lots of colors, yes. But, when you try to take it off---it has stained your nails and takes about three days worth of showering to go away completely...and this is after having it on only 3 days!!!

Just be aware...

Really?!! We did not have this experience at all. For the purpose of this article we tried over 15 shades of Ulta nail polish, and wore them each for days! In fact I have been wearing Ulta nail polish exclusively now for three months and have never had a stained nail. While I can't explain the different experiences with performance, may I suggest trying a new nail polish remover? If its not that, then who knows!

in order to keep your nails from staining, especially when wearing dark polishes, always use a good base coat. they need not be expensive. i've used everything from dior to clinique to the dime store brands and maybelline express finish is hard to beat. only around $3. it protects the nails from absorbing the polish. also, use a non-acetone polish remover. the acetone is quicker but it dries out the nail, making it weaker. with the non-acetone remover, you can change your color every couple of days.
