Konad Regular Polish - R39 Solid Pop Green
This was a brand I found browsing around my local Longs (CVS) store looking for a suitable grey polish. At first I was skeptical because of the little plastic bag it came in and the small bottle, I was going to brush it off as a child's polish until I looked closer and saw that it was a
Konad brand product. For those unfamiliar with the brand they're a company started in Korea and are best known for their stamping and nail art kits. (

Price -
Purchased my bottle at Longs Drugs (CVS) for US$3.19, this is a little pricy for what can be considered a smaller sized bottle but it doesn't take long to see that it is a quality polish for it's price.

Quantity & Quality -
Konad Regular Polish comes in bottles that are 0.35 fl. oz./10ml which isn’t that big compare to say a bottle of
Revlon or
Sally Hansen Diamond Strength at 0.5 fl. oz./14.7ml and 0.45 fl. oz./13.3ml respectively, but what this bottle lacks in quantity it makes up for with the quality of its polish. Incredible polish, it provides great color with little application. Two thin coats were all that I needed to obtain the bottle color and provide great nail coverage. Also, it comes in a durable bottle which I know because I dropped it on my bathroom floor and it survived with no problem. These things along with a thick but incredibly manageable brush that spreads polish perfectly and evenly makes this a great polish for me.

Drying Time & Durability -
This polish had an incredibly fast drying time for me. I’m able to apply a second coat within two to three minutes of my first coat drying. Topped off with
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, I’m already typing out this review only 15 minutes after I applied my polish with no problems. After a few days the polish on the tips of my nails will start to wear away but I can still easily wear this polish a week and a half as long as I’m just doing normal activity. *On a side note I wore this polish to the beach the following day and after digging in the sand most of the day only two nails had chipped and lost their color. Since this isn’t normal activity for me I still consider this polish quite durable.
No amount of top coat will save your polish (or maybe even your nail itself for that matter) from ending up like this when you spend nearly all day digging in the sand.  |

Color -
Solid Pop Green is an extremely cute semi-gloss teal that would go great with a wide array of other colors. I would consider this an all season color because it brings on a summery feeling in the winter and would look great with the summer color palette during the summer. I personally wore this color to match a swimsuit that had a variety of colors on it including a green that matched the
Solid Pop Green polish.
Lots of cute summery inspired color combinations compliment this color.  |

Purchasing -
As I said I purchased mine at Longs Drugs (CVS) but you may also purchase it online through
Konad (
http://www.konadnailart.com/contents/en-us/d32.html) for $4.90 and through
TheNailArt.com (
http://www.thenailart.com/konadregularnailpolish.php) for $5.99. I have not purchased from these sites before so doing so is at your own risk.

Overall -
I’d say this is a top quality polish with a variety of colors to choose from.
Konad Regular Polish has all the aspects I look for in a great polish: easy application, fast drying, durability, and a great selection of colors. The only drawback I can think of would be the price for the amount of product you receive but I’ll definitely be buying this polish again along with other colors in the future.
