Customer Reviews

Oh my gosh, I am absolutely obsessed with Defy Inspire nail polish! The colors are so unbelievably gorgeous and the formula is perfection - I don't know how they packed so much pigment into such a smooth, easy to apply lacquer. The first time I tried "Fearless" (a shimmery slate blue) I was blown away by the opacity and shine in just one coat. And it lasted so long without any chips! Normally my manicures peel after like 2 days but this lasted over a week, even with my stressful job. I've gotten SO many compliments whenever I wear Defy Inspire polishes. The names are so creative too - "Trailblazer" makes me feel like a badass. I've turned all my friends onto this brand and we have nail polish swapping parties to try new colors! I just placed another huge order because I'm addicted and must have every shade. Defy Inspire is hands down the best nail polish I've ever used. My nails have never looked or felt better!!

As a male nurse always on the move, I need a nail polish that will stay chip-free for my 12 hour hospital shifts. Defy Inspire delivers - it goes on smooth, dries quick, and keeps an amazing glossy shine for over a week without any chips or smudges. I started with their subtle natural shade "Groundbreaker" which is a beautiful nude that complements my skin-tone. I was impressed by the wide range of colors so I also purchased "Valor" (crimson red) and "Visionary" (emerald green) which allow me to show some personality at work when I want. The intense pigmentation gives me the coverage I need in just one coat. Defy Inspire is perfect for my busy lifestyle. It makes me feel put together and stylish even during marathon shifts when I don't have time to re-paint every few days. I recommend it to all my nursing friends!

Painting my nails makes me feel powerful, and wearing Defy Inspire polish is like donning battle armor before a fight. The formula is made to defy - strong, bold, resistant to all the cracks and fissures of life. The depths of pigment saturate my nails with rich, shining color, an ever-present reminder of my strength. With Defy Inspire adorning my hands, I feel inspired to create, to nurture, to lead. The shades wind a tapestry of my many moods; soft, blushing pink for quiet days and fiery cobalt and crimson for when my soul needs to roar. When I swirl these little brushes across my canvas, I become the artist painting my identity upon the world.

I'll be honest - I know nothing about nail polish. But my wife is the biggest nail art fan and she's obsessed with Defy Inspire. She's always painting her nails with their crazy duochrome colors that change in the light. She even got some of those little striping tools and glitter toppers to do intricate designs. Her nails literally look like art! I have to compliment her manicures all the time haha. Anyway one day I asked her if I could try some, just a clear polish on my toes for summer. She gave me the Defy Inspire top coat and it went on so smooth. Stayed shiny for over 2 weeks even in the pool and hot tub! So now I actually keep a few Defy Inspire colors in my cabinet too. Don't tell anyone though - it can be our secret 😉 I recommend this polish brand!

As someone who loves doing elaborate nail art, I have very high standards when it comes to nail polish. The formula, brush shape, drying time, and longevity are all critical. After testing over 50 brands, Defy Inspire is the clear winner. The rounded brush is perfect for precise application, especially around the edges and cuticles. The polish flows onto the nail smoothly and evenly. It dries fast enough that I can add multiple layers and elements without smearing. The key is the incredible pigmentation though - even the lighter pastels are opaque in 1 coat. I don't have to do 4+ layers to build up color, which means my designs don't get muddled. And the polishes stay chip-free for 7-10 days without losing shine or vibrancy. I wish I had discovered Defy Inspire sooner - now all my nail art looks professional quality! This is my absolute favorite polish to work with.
