Review 1 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
nucindy

I bought this set because it was on sale. The colors are pretty nice, but once applied, the polish would create holes. I'm not sure if this is clear, but even with a 2nd coat, there would be some holes in the polish. This doesn't happen with all the colors though. The red one is pretty nice and applies really great too. But the light blue and green shiny ones have this problem.

Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
-05.19.13
Quick Take: fast-drying, lovely colors
I bought this set as a gift for my nice and a set for me. The colors are really nice, bright, and fun. If you use they properly with a base coat and top coat, they will last longer without chipping. I believe it is a good purchase for the price. I order two more sets, as gifts for my lovely teenage nieces.

Review 5 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
goes on sloppy
-05.09.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
This is a good set to try on some different colors however the layer is strange...it doesn't go on smoothly for some reason. It's not a problem by a second or third coat (if necessary)

Review 7 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
poor quality
-04.01.13
I tested several colors in this set. Most apply goopy and in streaks. All chip really easily. I would not recommend purchasing this set of nail polish.

Review 8 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
Not Bad
-03.17.13
Quick Take: the new black runway set
I got this set on sale for half price. The actual quality of the polishes is not quite equal to julep or illamasqa, but it did last for three days with a topcoat. The light blue shade looks lovely with olive/tan skin. I'm not sure I would have been satisfied with this purchase, had I paid full price. For the sale price of $16 , its a good way to try several shades, and not too disappointing if one of the col.ors turns out to be less dazzling than expected

Review 9 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
what a waste!
-03.15.13
Thin, blotchy color that requires 3-4 coats to look decent and chips off the moment you do anything. By far the worst product I've ever purchased from Sephora.

Review 10 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
Worst polishes I have ever purchased
-02.15.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
I was excited to try these polishes because the array of colors was so beautiful. As soon as I received it, I used the color Just Shocking. I put my base coat on and then 1 layer of the polish, but I barely had any coverage on my nail. So I applied a second coat and then finally a third till I could barely see my nail bed. I applied my top coat and was impressed at how quickly it dried. I was happy with the color and how it looked on my nails until I noticed (about 4 hours later) that the nail polish was cracking beneath the top coat. After that it was just a matter of 6-7 hours before chunks of the polish started to come off. The kicker is that between the time I first applied it to the time it began to come off, the only things I did were work on the computer and watch tv; nothing to strenuous on my nail and this polish could not withstand it.

Review 11 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
Awful
-02.11.13
I love the colors in this set and was really looking forward to receiving it. Unfortunately the formula is awful. It chipped within six hours, and within 24 I had no polish left on my nails. Also one of the bottles came opened. Not broken, but like the cap jut didn't get screwed on all the way during production.

gorgeous bright colors
-02.09.13
This is a great collection of "travel sized" polishes. I love the bright colors and they are full coverage. I will definitely purchase more from this brand.

Review 14 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
i will return mine...
-07.13.12
Quick Take: chip, doesn't last, pigmented
... if i can, because for the life of me, i can't find the yellow bottle any more :-(
NOTE: most of these are NOT MATTE as pictured
these definitely take two coats (the first coat is horrifyingly uneven) and expert manicure skills. i used to work at a nail salon and i find it very difficult to get it just perfect. so definitely don't get it if you're a perfectionist of some sort.
however, when they're on right, they look perfectly pigmented and luxurious. the problem is that perfection lasts for about one to two days top.
they chip and mostly peel off. it's even worse if you use a base coat and a top coat (which only makes the whole thing thicker and peel off more easily)

Review 15 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
Highly Pigmented Colors
-06.27.12
Quick Take: highly pigmented, great colors
I bought this set because I was looking to try a new polish brand and this one had the rainbow set of colors. I mean, who doesn't love rainbows?? I was pleased to find that these colors are VERY highly pigmented. So far I've tried the orange, the pink-coral, and the nude polishes. It doesn't look like it in the bottle, but the nude color doesn't even need a second coat, it's that good. The orange is that perfect tangerine color of the year, and the pinkish one has a nice shimmer and is great for summer. I just polished today, so I can't say anything about it being chip resistant or anything like that, but we'll see how it holds up over the next few days!
There are a couple downsides to this brand that I have found upon first use. The polishes do take quite a bit of time to dry, so you have to wait a good couple minutes between coats, especially when applying top coat. The brushes themselves are kind of narrow, so it takes a few swipes to get your nail fully colored. Finally, the polishes don't seem to have names attached to them, which was kind of frustrating in a really pointless way haha.
Overall, this a really good set to introduce this brand!

Review 17 for Runway - Color Baromoter 8-Piece Nail Polish Set
LOVE!

Quick Take: long wearing, chip resistent
I love at-home manis, and my trick to salon-quality nails is using GOOD polish. This polish is great - chip resistant, goes on smooth, and the color is truly great!
This polish took a while to dry, but once it was dry - it lasted fairly long. I say this knowing that my nails typically chip on day 2. This lasted a full week! Note - some of the colors do have some sparkle to them in the bottle - but you can't tell once on the nail.
