I got some new nail polishes! I have never had the chance to try Duri nail lacquers before and it’s always fun to try out new things… so without further delay here are swatches of my new colors.
Duri nail polish in Bridal Bells
Bridal Bells is an opaque pastel pink cream that would be perfect for a unqiue french tip or a reverse moon manicure. There’s nothing really amazing about the color- meaning I’ve seen many pink creams just like this. The formula was a bit thick which resulted in some cuticle drag and tip buildup. It was also a bit slow to dry. The picture shows 3 coats.
Duri nail polish in Everyday is a Valentine
Everyday is a Valentine is a bright classic red polish. The cool factor is that it’s a semi-translucent jelly! This polish applied like a dream. Since it’s a jelly, it won’t be fully opaque, but it was still wonderfully pigmented. My swatch shows 2 coats. It was a bit slow to dry and even with my normal base coat of Seche Clear, this polish left a significant amount of red stain on my nails upon removal.
Duri nail polish in Girl Power
Girl Power is the only polish of this group that really caught my eye. The color is a trendy summer neon pink with duochrome flashes of fuschia and pink shimmer. Lovely!!
It applied smoothly but dried super slowwwwwly. However, this color was so pigmented, you could truthfully get away with only 1 coat- and that is rare these days. This color is just gorgeous. Even with the slow drying time, I’ll put up with it for a color this rocking.
This closeup of Girl Power does not do the polish justice…
A closeup of Girl Power because it's pretty!

I would have to go with Girl Power! I love the in your face shade, think that it would make any girl’s hand look beautiful!
I love that “Girl Power” shade, it looks really nice!
The girl power looks the best!
I love Girl Power! It looks gorgeous!
Valentine is my pick!
Pretty colors! I especially like Bridal Bells. Question though: are they toulene, formaldehyde, and DBP free? I stay away from these toxins in my nail polish.
Robin, Great question. I meant to research that before the review but it totally slipped my mind. I’ve got an email in to the Duri company now to ask. Here’s to hoping they respond quickly.
Cheers,
Jami
Robin, Here is the reply from Duri:
“Our nail polishes contain the minimum amount of Formaldehyde (less then 1%) and are completely DBP and toluene free.”
