Hey there! Ah, I am so excited about todays post! I've been so busy with other things I haven't had the chance to get these up sooner. That all being said today I have TWO brand new Defy & Inspire polishes to share with you. So lets get into this post!
Here is the video that goes with this post! Ah, so as you probably already know, and for those of you who don't... Defy & Inspire Target's Nail Polish brand. I am a HUGE fan! They are quality polishes with great formulas and they are 5 Free and well there is just nothing but good things to say! They recently released the new Fall Collection and I grabbed two the other day so I thought it would be fun to share them with you! Plus I am just SUPER impressed with these polishes soooooo... time to rave! :)
Moon Dust
1-2 coats
A light lavender polish with linear holo all through out the polish
This polish is amazing! Seriously look at that macro you can see the holo. When I saw Defy & Inspire doing holo-esque polishes I was thrilled. Every polish I have tried from them has been top notch and this is no different! The formula is amazing and so easy to work with. I love the brush its the perfect size and I got full coverage in just 1-2 coats. It all really depends on how thick you apply it. Due to the fact it is holo its hard to capture on camera so I have 2 pictures below. One with my normal lighting set up and the other with flash in hopes to bring out the holo. So check it out!

Big Dipper
1-2 coats
A light marsala/pink toned polish with linear holo all through out the polish
Again another perfect polish. This had an AMAZING formula. Same exact formula as the last one. Very consistent and just a breeze to work with. Seriously I can't stop saying how much I love these polishes. I was so excited about them but by seeing them in stores too! It wasn't like a planned trip to get polish but what I ended up walking out with was just perfect. I think these polishes just aren't what you normally see from "mainstream" brands which is probably why it excites me so much. Plus these are about $7 something which is lower than say OPI, Essie and some places that is lower than China Glaze. Just to give you a comparison. Plus these are 5 Free which is impressive when you think about the brands you can typically get in store. I think Zoya is one of the only brands that is "mainstream" and advertises as being so many free because most like OPI, CG etc are only 3 free. Just an interesting observation! That all being said Defy & Inspire has just been really one the nail polish game this year and I'm impressed! The below photos are just like I did for the last polish, flash and normal!

Now these polishes are available now along with a few others that are the same types of polishes. I looked them up on the Target site and they are not available online but you can go to their site HERE and check to see if the one you want is the a Target near you! We have quite a few Targets around us and out of the few I have been too they had all of the polishes. These two and one of the more metallic ones were going quickly I will say! Also quick note about wear time: I have been wearing Big Dipper on my right hand for about 2 weeks now and there is barely any wear! I'm just so happy about that. Ha, I have growth more than I have wear for sure. Well that is it! I hope you have enjoyed his post and hopefully found it helpful. Next time if you are at Target and you are debating on a Defy & Inspire polish I say do it! They have become my go to lately! Anyone up for a "My Defy & Inspire Polish Collection" video? That could be fun! Just let me know in the comments, and I hope you are having a WONDERFUL day! Talk to ya soon!
Happy Painting!

I cannot believe the amount of shimmer in these polishes! I've seen these polishes on the shelves and am just shocked at how beautiful they are!
ReplyDeleteRight? Its so nice to see a mainstream brand doing something like this! I'm very impressed!
DeleteI really feel like these show up a lot of other mainstream brands (no naming names). I'm going to have to look for the next time I'm at Target.
ReplyDelete100% agree and could totally name a few too! I love that they are doing it tho! Very impressive!
DeleteHope you find some!
I love jewel-toned hues such as Big Dipper; you can wear them around the year.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteA friend of mine just picked these up for me! I am so excited.
ReplyDeleteYay! Hope you love them! I know I can't stop wearing them!
DeleteI must be living under a rock because I have never heard of this brand before. The colors and finish are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI feel like many don't know about them which is all the more reason people need to know about them! They are amazing!
DeleteBoth of these polishes are gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I am obsessed with what Defy & Inspire is doing!
