    Amazing Colour!

    8 months ago
    LOVE this colour! I do need 2 coats although one is suffice if I'm in a hurry. I am hard on my nails and I did find some chipping on day 2 but mst of the polish remained on my nails for a week - and yes, I intentia;y did not touch up to see how well it would last. There was no staining around my cuticle beds or nails as has happened ith other red shades. It is true to its colour from bottle to nail and holds up fairly well. Overall, it is a totl win for me!

    Chips quickly

    a year ago
    Bought this color recently and it was BEAUTIFUL at first, but chipped horribly within a day. The polish peeled completely off one nail on day 2. Redid the manicure, and the same thing happened; most nails chipped a day later. For reference, I used the same base / top coat as always, and manicures usually last a week; there seems to be an issue with this specific shade. Tragic; it would be so pretty if it would stay on.

    Pretty color

    I really like this shade of red and I really wanted to try it. The color looks really nice and it dries really quick so I am able to apply another coat which makes the color pop out even more.
