RD001 is a beautiful red jelly, I just love it. The formula is very nice, I would definitely recommend this polish to a beginner.It was so easy to apply and you are totally fine with just one coat. However, I applied three coats for the photos because I wanted it to look brighter. Its opaqueness doesn't really change, it was pretty much the same with one coat and three coats. You can see on the photos that nail line is still visible with three coats. RD001 is also super glossy even without top coat. Its durability can be an issue, though. If you are in a hurry, then apply one coat but the tips of your nails won't look so good by the end of the day. If you want your polish to stay unchanged for a longer period of time, then apply 2-3 coats.

Peripera Nail Story YE002 and BL004
I really am sorry but I do not have an opening photo for today's post. I couldn't think of anything appropriate and that's the reason why it took me so long to make another post. In my opinion, opening photos are not really necessary, just a nice addition. Personally, I prefer clean swatches in natural light. Many bloggers take their photos with very expensive cameras in studios using special light and props. Those photos are extremely attractive but not really accurate. I want to know how the polish would look in real life, that is what important. And that's why I try to show polishes the way I see them on my nails.
Back to the topic now. Peripera is a mass-market Korean brand, it has the same manufacturer as CLIO so the quality is pretty good. Peripera makes polishes in series, I really liked their creative package for Rose Nail but the brush was way too big. Another series had cat shaped lids. Nail Story polishes have simple bottles and a variety of patterns on their lids. The Nail Story series is perfumed with eucalyptus. The brush is wide and thin like OPI brushes. Both YE002 and BL004 are cremes. BL004 is blue and YE002 is yellow. It's pretty easy to guess the color of Korean polishes, I think. They all use color codes, not unique names. The formula is pretty good, it was easy for me to apply both polishes but some people may find them a bit too thick. If you feel that your polish is thick, you should use thinner. Follow the instructions on the bottle and it should be fine. I'd recommend using Orly thinner as it doesn't have any unnecessary ingredients and is not likely to react with your polish. For the photos I applied no base coat, two coats of each polish with Orly Polishield on top. As always, the photos were taken in various conditions.
