    Beautiful color but weird bubbling with top coat

    6 years ago
    Love this color but as soon as you put on the top coat it starts bubbling. It does seem to smooth out as it dries but it’s almost like some weird chemical reaction happening. This doesn’t happen with any of my other gel couture colors so I don’t know what the deal is! I’d skip this one and pick a different color

    Love the color, but was very streaky with 2 coats. Chipped within a couple of days. Not impressed.

    Super long lasting!

    I got this complimentary from influenster but I'm honestly so impressed with it! Usually at home gel polish doesn't last on me, as I'm pretty rough on my hands. But this went a week without any chips at all! It also dries really fast. I've gotten several colors since trying the free one and I'm impressed with all of tyem!

    Good polish!

    If someone could a make a polish completely chip proof till polish change then I would give 5 stars! Till then this product I must say is better than my normal polish. Lasted a little less than a week, but I don’t do much cleaning/washing. Plus this was a cute color! I did receive this free for review.
