Quo by ORLY 18-Piece Mini Nail Polish Gift Set

Every year, Quo releases a stunning nail polish collection around the holidays and this Quo by ORLY 18-Piece Mini Nail Polish Gift Set ($40 CAD) is one of the most gorgeous ones I’ve seen! Available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart, this collection features 18 different mini Quo by ORLY nail polishes in a huge variety of shades and textures.

Ranging from classic cream shades to bold duochrome shimmers and flashy glitter shades, this kit has everything you need for year-round trendy tips and toes. Some of my favorite shades include Precious, Perfectly Polished and Fairy Tale.

If you’re a fan of stocking up on mini shades, then you may really love this set. I do have to start off by saying that the quality of the nail polishes isn’t the best I’ve found- most of them requiring 3-4 coats for an opaque finish (some only requiring two- see the swatches to know how many coats were needed for each shade). This kit does, however, contain some of the most beautiful and unique shades that I’ve ever seen- so that might be worth compromising a bit of quality for the stunning shades.

As you can see by the swatches- pretty much all of them can look fantastic, they might just need a few extra coats. The value is definitely great- whether it’s as a stocking stuffer or split up for party favours- you won’t be disappointed if you’re a fan of unique and interesting shades!

Summary

  • Overall: A gorgeous set full of variety in texture and color- these polishes are definitely not the best quality that I’ve found, but it does have some amazing, unique shades. If you’re okay with using 3-4 coats for an opaque finish, you’ll be happy with these polishes.
