Hello! ^_^
When me, my sister and my mom went to Divisoria at 168 Mall, we came across a store that sells a lot of nail polish and nail art stuffs. We went inside to check them out coz the items are really nice and perfect for summer. We ended up getting these because they have a unique characteristic. Each color secretes a certain scent when it dries. For example, if you get a brown color you'll smell chocolate. I think it was so cool so I got a variety of colors from that line.
The brand is called BK 18" and it is made from China like almost all nail polishes available on the market so I didn't mind. This costs Php50 each for retail but since we bought 6 pcs they gave us a discount and we got it for Php30 only. This variant only comes in matte finish and in an 8ml glass bottle.

Here's a swatch of the nail polishes. Shade 04 is their top coat.
PROS:
- Pigmented colors. You can get away with 1-2 coats depending on the color to get the shade in the bottle.
- Scented. I like the candy scents and it lasts for a couple of days too.
- Stays long on nails for at least a week before fading and chipping.
- Comes in a small container so I can bring it anywhere if I need to during traveling.
- Can be bought by bulk to get discounted price.
- It did not made my nails yellowish which is a plus.
- Dries fast enough.
CONS:
- It is quite expensive for the size IMO. Php50 for an 8ml nail polish that is not a popular brand is a little too much for me. (Or is this popular? Does anyone know?)
- This is made from China so it might be a con for some. I don't mind it but others might.
- The brushes are not of good quality. Some of them are flayed so it's hard to apply it evenly.
- It is a matte finish. I'm not fond of mattes :/
- The scents may be too over powering for some who have sensitive noses.
- Cannot be applied too thickly or you can just easily scrape them to be removed hehe.
OVER-ALL RATING: 3.5/5 - I like this better than locally available nail polishes in that price range but I still prefer my Korean and Japanese nail polishes over these. They are good quality and unique so I am giving it above average rating.
WILL I REPURCHASE? Not sure. I'm not the type who buys nail polish all the time.
