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.

yes i would by again
Loved the polish stayed on long and loved the color
strong
very pleased with product Nail Polish is holding up nicely Its been 8 days so far and still on as when I applied it A must have product
Likely not used as typical
I paint my own press ons using air dry nail polish. I used with holo taco long lasting base coat, holo taco pink smoothing base coat, and no base coat. In all three techniques, the polish never dried. Really frustrating.
Lasted a FULL week!
I have never had a nail polish last a full week. I bought the top coat as well and the polish stayed on, just a few nails at the tips were wearing off by the end of the 6th day. Color is bold and doesn't chip!
It's okay, nowhere near 15 days
I love how easy this is but it doesn't last even a week. I've tried different prepping methods and my tips still chip off after a few days. Super frustrating. Having to redo them so often got my nail polish super thick and almost unusable. And obviously I'm going through it super fast.
