    best go-to color!

    This is my go-to everyday color, it works great for me, looks great with my skin tone, and the longwear product stays on my nails 2-3 times longer than any other nail polish. I just wish there were more, darker colors in this collection in the 'nude' category.

    Best nail polish!!

    9 years ago
    I love this new polish! it last about a week, I'm rough with my hands too, I washes my hands a lot...you just have to cover the edges well with the top coat so it won't chip easily. It drys up pretty fast, easy to use with a very nice brush. I also use a nail hardener as a base coat...best nail polish I've encounter that don't need UV light

    This color was strong and grabbed everyone's attention. I stayed 4 weeks with no chipping, and I am nurse and mother who is constantly washing her hands. I thought it would be too good to be true; glad I was so wrong, it's great!

    I received this polish as a sample. I couldn't wait to try it out. It went on smooth and easy, and gave enough time to correct any mistakes before drying. I put on the top coat right away. It went on as easy as the color coat. The drying time seemed a little quicker than other polishes. I would recommend trying this product. I loved it!

    First I will say this polish is not cheap. I have bought another color after receiving a sample in the mail. However I only had to buy the new color since I already had the top coat. It is the best polish I have ever used on my nails. It won't last forever but I did get two weeks wear out of it. At that point I was starting to chip. Usually though color doesn't last past 3-4 day on my nails. I'm not easy on my nails. I highly recommend you splurge and purchase!
