Finally a product that made want to write a review
Ok, so I always get chipped nails. Like ALWAYS. Apparently I have really oily nails. Go figure! Even my gel nails get chipped if the salons do not follow certain steps to really remove any excess oil from my nails (though I must admit that Essie Gels never got chipped - but not all salons can affor...

Chips on fifth day
Pretty color, great brush, but it didn't last anywhere near 14 days. Also it's shrunk so much anyway from the cuticle and the tips I couldn't wear it much longer even if it didn't chip. I did wash some dishes so I didn't expect it to last 14 days but expected more than 4.

It's opaque and dries instantly
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love how it dries instantly and the pigment is strong, it's opaque. Packaging is a standout among my nail polish bottles, i find the design unique. This color is perfect for summer but I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 because I'm expecting the shade to be more blue green but I find it to have more green than a balance of blue and green. Other than that, the durability is good especially if used with the top coat, it will make it more long lasting.
received this product in exchange for my honest review
Loved this nail polish. The quality is great, and super chip resistant. The application is super smooth and dries extremely fast which I love. The color is so summer but can be used during winter times. I love this brand compared to any other nail polish brand and really recommend!!"
Cute and subtle
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Application was easy enough and product was fast to dry after using it. Color is very cute and subtle so I used it as a under layer before putting a translucent glittery nail polish to make the color pop out more and It seem to work pretty well. Smells was the usual nail polish scent, nothing different in that. Shade range seems huge and packaging looks glamorous and stylish!
At Home Nail Salon
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is such a nice nail polish! Great alternative to going to the salon and putting your hands under the UV lamp. This does the exact same thing without the damage from the lamp. It dries super quick and smells amazing! Simple easy way to apply it. It's a two step process same as regular nail polishes but with a longer lasting effect. It totally gives an iridescent look to it. I'm in love! Also, check it out at regular stores with the variety of shades. It's merely $15. Very great value to the $50+ manicures outside where same nail polishes are used on everyone! This bottle has a twist shape to it and has a nice grip as well!
Pretty color
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Such a nice light pink color, it's pigmented just enough. I can use this with or without the glitter polish. It dries easy and it's a nice subtle color. I definitely would buy again
