This brand is the BEST nail polish brand. I did my nails about 1 week ago and there are no signs of chipping when any other polish i can only get a max 3 days out of before it starts to come off! 10/10 would recommend.

Perfect Winter Color!

(Un)guilty Pleasures - is one of the prettiest greens I've had. Especially for winter. I've been able to wear it with several different outfits of shades of green, blue, black, and brown. I really complements most anything in my wardrobe. I feel so "polished" when I'm wearing it. (no-pun intended - well yes intended). It's dramatic enough to wear for a night out, but subdued enough that it works in the office. And it's just plain fun to wear for at home or hanging out with friends at a casual event. --- And of course it's Essie quality, application, and wear-time. --- One of my favorites this season!
