Stays tacky, never dries
9 months ago
I don’t know what it is with this particular shade (maybe ours only the pearly ones) but it just doesn’t dry completely, which means it gets dented and shifts underneath like the top layer seems dry but underneath it’s forever tacky. It also never fails that it dries with bubbles. I’ve tried multiple base coat brands, no base coat, with and without a topcoat and it just doesn’t work. Now it’s too late to return.

I have never used a nail polish more than this one
2 years ago
I absolutely love how this polish looks as a single coat on my nails. It gives a beautiful, subtle shine which makes my nails look really healthy. Two coats would be ideal for most people but I love that I can apply a single coat, love the affect and have my nails done and dried in less than 5 minutes. I’m nearly through my first bottle and will be repurchasing!

Best there is
3 years ago
This is literally favorite polish ever. It’s a nice light, slightly sheer color that is perfect after two coats. The first coat can look quite thin but the second coat is absolutely gorgeously. 11/10

Great shine
6 years ago
I have been using this non-stop. It doesn’t chip even without a top coat. It’s very shiny and blends in with a paler skin tone for a more natural look.
