Love love my beautiful nail polish. Will be back soon

This nail polish is amazing. When I applied it as a single layer with no top coat, it lasted 5 days before there started to be noticeable chipping! The formula is great too, so almost all streakiness from application just smooths itself out. It does take quite a bit of time to dry though-- it was safe enough for light taps after 3-4 minutes, and probably fine for you to continue to do normal tasks (carefully) after 15-20, but definitely don't pick at anything for a couple hours-- I learned this the hard way after having to take something off a key chain about an hour after painting my nails and then messing up the tips, so I had to redo them.

I like the color selection here, they compliment each other nicely. The formulation here is a decent thickness, maybe just a tad on the runny side. I had a bit of trouble with getting too much product on the brush and occasional getting cuticle flooding.The brush is a wide brush but does not have a rounded edge to it. The brush is also kind of thick in addition to be wide, this makes it easy to pick up too much product and hard to get a really nice clean-cut line at your cuticle. Not the worst brush I have used but a bit challenging to get a good looking manicure without some clean up.The opacity for these was pretty good. All of them were opaque in two coats, the green color was opaque in one for me. These look a bit streaky when you first apply but then level out very nicely as they dry.None of these have a number or name for the color which was weird and made it hard to reference which nail polish is which. Not a problem really, just a comment.In general these are nice cremes and I will definitely get a lot of use out of them. Would recommend. You can see them swatched above, I forgot to take a picture of my final manicure. I can't really comment on how long these last because I change my manicure a couple times a week. I did use a base coat and topcoat over them as well.

First of all, these colors are beautiful! They’re highly pigmented and I’d say true to color from what is advertised in the product photos.I’ve tried many brands of nail polish, from cheap to more expensive. These are probably one of my favorites I’ve ever tried to be honest.Some of the things I love: the color, consistency, application, they’re vegan and cruelty free, and they’re made in the USA!If you’re not using a top coat, let them dry an extra 10 minutes or so before doing anything that could mess them up.. like laundry. Lol. I had to redo a nail because picking up and doing a load of laundry made an imprint on the last nail I painted. Totally my fault, and I’m honestly impressed I didn’t mess up any other nails. I’d definitely recommend a base and top coat, just to make sure the polish lasts as long as possible, but I am really happy with the quality alone.I added photos to show the packaging, as well as the consistency of the polish. You can see on the applicator that the polish is very smooth and thick, and I show two photos of one of my nails. The first with one coat of polish (you can see even with one coat it looks nice) and the second photo shows the second coat. The polish really evens itself out and sets nicely. I can’t wait to try the other colors, and I’d definitely buy this brand again.
