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.

Must have neutral pink polish
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Absolutely in love with this shade! This is such a pretty color, and it's perfect for a natural look. I can wear it as a sheer nude look or layer it on for a more pretty and playful vibe 🫶🏻 it works great as a base also 🥰 -shade 49 Gossamer Garments
Natural effect on my nails
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I like the natural effect it gives to my nails, it's a translucent color, I love the nail polish brush because it's round and easy to apply, drying is normal
Great on Natural Nails
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product with a gel top coat is a winning chip resistant combination especially for natural nails. I love the bubble gum pink hue you can get. I did 3 coats to achieve this color. When I added the top coat it made a nice pearly pink. I plan to reuse this product anytime I want to wear my natural nails. Also the last pic is what my nails looked like after 10 days. No chips!
Gorgeous
This is a stunning top coat that delivers a glazed, crushed-metal finish in just one swipe. Infused with metallic pearls, it instantly transforms any manicure into a chic, luminous look. Absolutely gorgeous! I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
Loved it!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] These shades are incredible, the polish is in the color 'Gossamer Garments' which is a beautiful pink and the top coat is in 'Glazed Chrome' that gives it this nice frost. It's a long lasting polish and gives that same gel effect that a trip to the salon would give. I want these in every color now! And did I mention that it is vegan, 8 free and never animal tested!
