One of my favorite shades!
4 years ago
This is a staple shade for me. I typically go for shades red or hot pink, but this gray is such a nice change of style for my typically colorful taste. It’s perfect for the fall and especially winter months, and looks good on all skin tones.

No thank you

I love the color but the polish takes hours to dry, if you apply a second coat the first coat reactivates, drys with bubbles all over the nail, and starts to come off whenever I use hand sanitizer/hand wipes.

Consumer Care Center
Hi there Dann! We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This nail color should be dry in a few minutes. After you’ve applied a base coat, two coats of polish, and a top coat, you should sit for about 15 minutes to dry your nails. The perfect drying time could vary based on environmental factors like temperature and humidity. Although your nails will feel dry after this time, note that your nails are not completely dry for 2-3 hours after painting, so refrain from activities that could smudge your manicure in that time. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845
