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.

Eh
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This polish was kind of a letdown. The color in the bottle is cute, but it goes on super sheer with barely any pigment. You'll need at least 3 coats to get it to show up properly. The semi small size makes it easy to fit the bottle in a bag for on-the-go touch-ups, and the color is versatile enough for everyday wear if you're going for a super natural look. But if you want bold or vibrant? This ain't it.

Purchasing more colors
This is the first nail polish I have used that has not chipped on my fingernails. Day 10 and still looks pretty good. I forgot to add another coat of topcoat after 7 day and it's still on. I'm now deciding on what colors to get next. You will not be disappointed!

Longweat
Stays on! I've had this polish on for a week and 3 days and it's just now starting to chip. I've been in the pool too. This is the longest wearing polish I've ever tried!
Love this
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this brand of nail polish. I do not wear acrylics or any other type of nails. I wear my nails natural, and this is the brand I mostly use, due to its longevity, and they usually last three or five days, depending on the shade of nail polish. I constantly get compliments from this nail polish and I love it gel like affect.






Cute polish
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great applying brush. Perfect size for nail bed. Smooth application and opaque. It was enough with two light counts. Very pretty color for summer.
