    Alright but not great!

    I wrote a review but see that it hasn't published for some reason. This is a very nice color but it chips almost instantly. I'm noticing that all the polishes chip after painting them on, which is a shame. I've been contacted by the company and offered tips on how to increase the wear, but I've ac...

    Nice clean looking color but doesn't last at all. Barely a day. Agree with reviewer that said it felt like it never really dried. Had high hopes it would help my dry peeling nails but wound up throwing it away.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

    I use gel nail strips and when I remove them my nails always have some peeling which doesn't look great. I wanted to get something to hide the nail damage in between sets. I also have really bad nail ridges too. I decided to give this a try because it promises natural coverage while helping with my nail condition. I got the shade 00 (and also got one of the Glow shades to apply on top). It's way more sheer than expected while the glow shade was more pigmented than expected. But it does have buildable coverage so you can build up to a more opaque look. But don't expect anything like their swatches or their photos on Instagram. This is very very sheer. It dries pretty quick. it really does cover up imperfections like ridges and peeling surprisingly well despite the sheernees so it definitely delivers on the claims of giving a natural concealer effect to the nails. It does provide a layer of protection to protect against further peeling of my natural nail. I typically do 2 coats of smooth and a coat of the Glow and it looks natural and shiny, making my natural nails look healthy. I highly recommend layering with Glow otherwise smooth alone looks a little dull. The longevity isn't great but because the coverage is very sheer chipping isn't very noticeable. I don't like how small the brush handle is because it's hard to unscrew. The brush is also not my favorite. Overall I do like this and think it's great if you want to conceal nail damage or imperfections but still have a natural look but it's kind of overpriced for what you get. I feel like there's probably a lot of similar products out there that might have better longevity?

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Hoped it would help my ridged easily chipping and peeling nails. Tho it looks nice initially it barely lasts 2 days. Pity I really like the subtle clean look so 1 star for that. Unfortunately I can't return as I wanted to give it some time to work and now too late.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

    No joke - this is my holy grail. Very buildable coverage, but I like 2 thin coats. Dries very quickly. Two coats on my smooths ridges or bumps in nail bed, obscures white lines, but doesn't make opaque and fake looking. It literally looks like my nails but better. Please NEVER stop making.
