Love this color. Surprisingly it looks very different in different lights, ranging from a kind of dusty rose to grapey purple. The color holds up well through wear.

Best nail polish yet!

I bought this the other day and I have to say... it definitely lasts a lot of wear and tear! the day after I painted my nails, I had to break down an old bunk bed and move other furniture around in my house and I was so frustrated because I thought that the polish would chip and be ruined from all of the heavy lifting. Boy was I wrong... after I finished moving everything around, there were absolutely no chips and the polish was still just as shiny as when i applied it!!! Definitely going to buy more of this polish in other shades!
