Pair each shade with a time of day (morning/ noon/night) and why each shade works for that time.
Cirque color is morning. It’s a rich red like you just got the best sleep of your life and you ready to take on the world. Smith and cult is your noon-time color because it’s a bright playful red when the suns just coming out and you’re meeting up with your friends for brunch. LVX is obviously your night time red because it’s your sexy, mysterious, deep, blood red. It’s the perfect mischievous, slut red. Maybe you’re getting into trouble or maybe just having dinner and sex with your hubby. Who knows. ;)
Longest lasting?
LVX.
Match a shade to Regina George, Gretchen Weiners, and Karen Smith.
Regina George is definitely LVX, Gretchen is cirque color, and Karen is smith and cult.
How important is the application brush size for you when you buy nail polish?
For me I like the brush to be full only because I usually have long nails with lots of space to cover.
Did these products have a good size brush?
They were all pretty well sized but I felt cirque colors could have been a little bit bigger.
Pick a dog breed for each nail color.
LVX is a Doberman with a diamond choker Cirque Colors is a boxer Smith and cult is a Australian Shepherd.
Best thing about each product?
I think they are all nicely packaged and look expensive. They give off a very beautiful, sexy, sophisticated vibe.
One thing you would change about each product?
Nothing expect maybe bigger brushes.
Which of these polishes would you bring to a sleepover and use on your friends and why?
LVX or Smith and cult. They are both fun and sexy and make you feel Fab. It’s hard to choose!
What’s your go-to or signature nail polish color? Out of these three, would you make any of them your new go-to?
I go through phases. I love neon colors right now or French tip! Thinking deep red would be a look for all of February though!
Which of these products would you gift your enemy?
Hard question but I think I’d go with smiths and cults because it takes a certain type of bitch to pull that color red off.
Which of these nail colors would you notice/ask about if you saw a stranger wearing it on the subway?
LVX because I’ve always loved a deep blood like red. I feel it is so classic and so sexy. Nothing beats it!

Pair each shade with a time of day (morning/ noon/night) and why each shade works for that time.
Cirque colors for morning because its a mid range red and more adaptable. Smith and Cult is good for afternoon because ur brain can handle less throughout the day. At night its LVX cuz it feels more powerful and mysterious.
Longest lasting?
LVX and Smith and Cult were both good.
Match a shade to Regina George, Gretchen Weiners, and Karen Smith.
Regina is Smith and Cult, Gretchen Weiner is LVX and Karen is Cirque colors.
How important is the application brush size for you when you buy nail polish? Why? Did these products have a good size brush?
Its brush isn't the most important but they cant be itty bitty. These three all had a pretty decent size brush.
Pick a dog breed for each nail color.
Poodle is LVX , cocker-spaniel is Smith and Cult and Cirque colors is a chow chow.
Best thing about each product?
Cirque colors has nice color and very easy to understand/generic. LVX feels luxurious and rich and Smith and Cult has nice bottle.
One thing you would change about each product?
Nothing. I enjoyed them all.
Which of these polishes would you bring to a sleepover and use on your friends and why?
LVX feels naughty and perfect for girl talk.
What’s your go-to or signature nail polish color? Out of these three, would you make any of them your new go-to?
My go to is definitely a red and I would try LVX.
Which of these products would you gift your enemy?
I wouldn’t.
Which of these nail colors would you notice/ask about if you saw a stranger wearing it on the subway?
I think Smith and Cult just because it’s the brightest and catches the eye easily.
