I am fortunate to receive Nee Jolie nail polishes.

Here are the polishes I received. I already reviewed Nee Jolie Quick Dry Nail Polish in NJ028 (bottom fifth from the left), Nee Jolie Quick Dry Nail Polish in NJ033 (top fifth from the left) and Nee Jolie Quick Dry Nail Polish in NJ027 (bottom fourth from the left). For this post, I will review the polish top sixth from the left.
This is Nee Jolie Quick Dry Nail Polish in NJ034. Since I did a thorough review of Nee Jolie Quick Dry Nail Polish in NJ028, I will base this on that.
Here's a closer look at the color. It's darker on the nail than the bottle.
Here's a closer look at the brush. Compared to one of my favorite brushes OPI, the width is slightly thinner and the length is a lot shorter.
I applied OPI Nail Envy in OriginalMadam Glam Gelementary Gel-Like Base Coat, two coats of Nee Joie in NJ034, and then topped all the nails with Essie Good To Go Top Coat.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, the width is wide enough to do three strokes and move onto the nail next. I thought I would be bothered with the short length but it actually does not bother me. I cannot tell the difference while painting. The tip also doesn't bother me. Lately, I'm been loving curve tips but this actually doesn't feel different. It applies easily around the cuticles and sides. Secondly, I like the packaging. Even though it's a mini-size, I actually don't mind. I cannot even finish a normal size nail polish. I know this mini-size will come in handy. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick glass. The top is also sturdy. I can feel a tight seal when I open and close the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and on the medium. It's not too thick that it gets clump. It's also not too thin that it runs everywhere. It's a good consistency and you can take your time with painting. It will not get thick while painting. With that said, it's easy to use. It goes on smoothly, and there are no streaking and bubbles. Fourth, the color is a bluish dark gray. At first, I did not like the color but it grew with each day. It's a great fall and winter color. Pigmentation-wise it's pigmented. Two layers were good enough on my skin tone. Lastly, I saw slight shrinkage on the fourth day. I only noticed the shrinkage for review purposes. If you look at it, you cannot tell the difference from the day you painted the nails. To be honest, the picture above was taken on the fourth day. I usually take it the day after but I kept forgetting. When I do remember, it's too dark outside to take in natural light. I finally remembered on the fourth day. Let me tell you how impressed I am! The fourth day looks like well known brands the day after. That's a big difference in days. When it comes to chipping, there was none whatsoever. I'm glad I got to try this polish. The longevity is amazing for a brand that isn't well known!

Would repurchase: Yes.
