Pop-Arazzi Nail Polish

CVC recently came out with their own bargain nail polish brand, Pop-Arazzi.
It's $2.99 a bottle which is not bad.  When I bought mine, it was on sale for $1.99 which is even better.  As of now, they have 64 colors available, some of which are awfully cute.
Honestly, I was drawn to it because it has really adorable packaging.  What can I say, I'm a sucker for polka dots.
I chose to purchase Star Shine, a holographic glitter topcoat pictured to the right.  You can find it here on the website.
So, how'd it perform?
The brush is nothing to write home about and the glitter coverage is pretty good but the polish takes an awfully long time to dry and the smell is TERRIBLE!!!
Just opening this fills the room with a sickly smell - almost like decaying plant matter with a sweet overtone.  Even after this drys, it still leaves a lingering smell on your nails.
I also found that this one feels gummy for days and chips fairly easily.

Is it cheap?  Yes.
Does it look pretty good while it lasts on your nails? Yes.
Is it worth making your whole house smell like something's died in there?  Probably not.

Save your money and buy some Wet and Wild or Sinful Colors if you're looking for a cheap polish fix!
