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.

This shade doesn't look good on tanner skin
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I'm not a big fan of this shade. I also don't like how if you wanted to wear it alone without the top (step 2) you would have to add more than two layers to get it to look right. It doesn't go on like a gel-like polish but it honestly look like and behavior like regular nail polish until you add step 2. Now to the important part for me for any nail polish: does it chip right away?Yes, mainly if you're getting be putting your hand in water a lot.
Milky pink
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a milky pink it looks great on but don't go over two coats, it starts to look weird. I like how this polish just takes away a subtle yellow color on the nails. Although I like the benefits of the polish I would wear it by itself, I don't like it. Definitely using the top coat. The polish last about a week then it will start chipping off and peeling off, like in the second pic.
Too sheer
I wasn't a fan of this line. It's VERY sheer and thin. No amount of shaking the bottle could fix it, so I think that's just how the polish is supposed to be. I had to do multiple layers of the polish before it even began to show up. It's just too thin to do anything. If you love the minimalist, barely there polish aesthetic then this might be for you, but it was a no for me. It's a shame because I like the concept. *Received for free in exchange for review.*
Fast drying, long wearing
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Applied easy and dried fast within about 5 minutes (no UV light needed). I applied two layers to get the color even. I love the subtlety of this shade. I thought it'd be too cool toned, but was flattering after adding the top coat. Didn't chip at all and only starting lifting from the nail bed around day 10! Super satisfied with this product! The color I tried was gossamer garments.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It's not a bad idea to have these products at home to solve our women's emergency. It is quite long-lasting since it is a gel that works with the lamp. The texture is normal like any nail polish and you must keep it well covered so that it doesn't dry quickly. Drying with the lamp is super fast, it is ready in a matter of seconds, it has a beautiful shine and finish, not at all opaque.
