    color not accurate

    2 years ago
    Color not accurate. I'm quite faired skinned and the color is lighter than my skin, not as pictured where it's a mid mauve. It's a light fair red toned pink nude

    Great color but applies thick

    3 years ago
    I bought this color at Target a month ago and just put it on. I was quite surprised to see how thick it applied even though I had just opened the bottle. The color however is superb.
    Q: goes great with this shade
    A: No idea

    Loved the color

    3 years ago
    Although I did love the color it’s beautiful, I wasn’t really fond of the formula. I felt like it applied thick even though I scraped some off to apply. Didn’t last really long it chipped within a day or 2. Would definitely recommend adding a top coat to seal it.

    Hello Lizbeth112! Thank you for sharing the color 'the snuggle is real'. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. From your description, the texture for your bottle of this mid-tone nude sounds wrong. All of our colors should flow easily onto the nail and by the second coat your color should be perfect.

    beautiful and enduring
