Avon Nailwear Pro Nail Enamels Review, Swatches & Dupes

Retweet this button on every post blogger

Recently, I got tonnes of nail enamels from Avon (well not really tonnes, but loads!!) since they were having an offer of buy 2 nail enamels at the price of one. So I picked up 6 different shades and paid for only 3 nail enamels. Yayy!! Since I am not much of a nail polish fan, I decided to plunge into varieties so ended up taking 3 brighter shades which I will be wearing quite often in summers and 3 darker shades just because I was tempted to get them :P

What Avon says about these polishes?
• Upto 10 day wear

• High gloss, wet-look finish with long-lasting color

• Salon-quality precision brush

Price: Around $8 for every 2 polishes.
Quantity: 12ml

My Experience with these pro enamels
Obviously for me, personally I though some colors were absolutely beautiful as compared to others but each and every shade I found to be a gem in itself. If you are an avid reader of nail polish/art blogs or a nail polish blogger yourself, I am sure at some point of time you might have heard someone rave about Avon’s pro range of enamels and believe me it’s worth every bit of it!! Usually, nail polishes do not last long on my nails. I need touch ups every 2 days but this thing lasted amazingly for 6 days without any touch up required that too without a top coat!! As true to its claims, it’s so glossy that I don’t even need to use a top coat. Just 2 coats of the desired polish along with a base coat works wonders. 
Now let’s have a look at the lovely colors I picked up:

NOTE: Please ignore the sloppy application. I was just too sleepy!

Green with Envy: It is a very dark forest green. It looks almost black in dim light, but in daylight or under strong light, it gives a hint of green.
Dupe: Sephora by OPI – Dark Room

Peppermint Leaf: My most fav shade out of the lot!! I was searching for a similar shade since long and chanced upon this!! It is a very pastel shade of mint green unlike Barry M’s Mint Green which is much brighter compared to this.
Dupe: Essie Greenport & China Glaze- For Audrey.

Midnight Plum: It’s a deep plum color with slight hints of burgundy. This is how it looks with one coat. However, it starts looking almost black with 2 coats. It looks a lot closer to OPI Lincoln Park After Dark when 2 or more coats are applied. Otherwise it looks closer to OPI Yes…I Can-Can just without any shimmer in one coat. A single coat can make such a drastic difference!!!

Deluxe Chocolate:  It is a rich chocolate brown having slight red undertones with lots of golden/bronze shimmer. This color definitely cannot be rocked by everyone!!
Dupe: Chanel's Limited Edition Haute Chocolat (not sure if still sold in stores) & Avon’s Speed Dry+ in Mink.

Viva Pink: It is a bright Barbie pink fuchsia color. How can any girl resist this AWESOME color???
Dupe: OPI Strawberry Margarita

Real Red: It is a medium red with blue undertones making it look bright. Perfect to its name ‘Real Red’.
Dupe: Avon Simply Pretty – Cherry Red, OPI - O'Hare And Nails Look Great & Eyeko Saucy Red

Pros of Avon Nailwear Pro Enamels
    •    All the polishes are very opaque giving high gloss wet finish
    •    Just one coat is enough to
    •    Definitely long lasting (yes 6 days without any chip is simply awesome for my nails!!)
    •    The Big 3 Free formula with no use of formaldehyde, toluene or phthalates leading to excellent coverage.
    •    Good price for quality and quantity. Can easily compete with high brand polishes.
    •    Good variety of colors – bright & dark perfect for all seasons and occasions.

Cons of Avon Nailwear Pro Enamels
    •    Avon needs to come up with some innovative and unique names for their shades. They are just so typical and oh-so boring types.
    •    They don’t make all their colors available in every region. Here hardly 12 shades are available in a range of total around 30-32 colors (not completely sure).

So tell me which colors did you like the most? Have you tried any polishes from this range or from Avon in general? Which other polish do you recommend me? Do you know of any other dupes of the mentioned colors? Please do share with us your thoughts :)
