I've always used cheaper nail polishes and have always had a problem with my nail polish chipping. It usually starts to chip on the first or second day after application. I assumed that all nail polishes chip, but this one actually doesn't - it stays on indefinitely, even through all my usual household activities. Thr photo I took is of my nails 5 days after application. I also love the rose color, a delicate pastel which has a pale pink and lilac hue and looks good with everything. It is a little expensive, but I think the price is worth it, especially considering that it's only $10 more than most drugstore nail polishes. Read more

Pros: - LONG lasting (6+ days with top coat) - customizable (can add layers for opaque color) - doesn’t damage or discolor nails - great as a base coat for other polishes Cons: - hard to remove - bottle doesn’t last long when you use multiple layers This has become my staple daily nail polish. It lasts longer than any other regular nail polish I’ve tried (regular meaning not gel or others that need cured). I’ve used this several times and it consistently lasts 6+ days without a touch up. I usually add 2-3 layers depending on how opaque I want it to be. 1 layer is really sheer and very natural, which also looks great but I usually do more than 1. I’ve tried the original, pink and bubble. I much prefer the pink (it’s a VERY light pink shade, more pinkish white with more than 1 layer). This is a great daily shade or a great base coat for other polishes. I also want to add that I haven’t tried it without a top coat. I always use a top coat but this polish still lasts longer comparatively. I usually use OPI and get around 4 days before I need a touch up on the edges or complete redo. This easily lasts twice as long. My holy grail top is Esse Gel Couture Quick Dry Top Coat - which you can also grab on Amazon and it doesn’t need cured despite “gel” being in the title. Pictures show the last time I used it. (I painted them quickly so not my best work lol but I always forget to take pics for a review). I show it over 8 days and now my edges are starting to wear away. I will also say that it’s a bit hard to take off and find that I often need to use acetone first, which I don’t love bc it’s drying, but I just follow with a nourishing remover and use lotion or cuticle oil so my nails don’t dry out.

The media could not be loaded. Welp. I found my new go-to polish with the PINK illuminating nail concealer. I tried both the milky and the pink, and my fave is the pink. The milky doesn’t look yellow per se, but if I hold them up against the light, there’s definitely more of a yellow tone over time with the milky. My old go-to was the Essie Gel Couture in the twisty bottle in color 40 Fairy Tailor (not actually gel, but “gel like”) which is also an excellent polish, but this one is better. It lasts a little bit longer and looks nicer for longer. And unlike the Essie one, it doesn’t yellow in the sun at the end of its life span, nor does it get thick in the bottle as quickly. I’ll take a video to show you the viscosity and amount after 3 months. This polish is beautiful. Easy to apply with a great brush that I can do 1-2 strokes for the whole nail. Gives you that extra touch that makes you feel polished even when you’re not put together. It dries quickly. I still use my Essie Gel Couture top coat which works wonderfully. I get about 8-10 days out of it when I wipe my nails with rubbing alcohol before painting. The polish nor my routine with the rubbing alcohol does not make my nails less healthy. In fact, keeping them polished protects them and makes them so much less likely to split, which is my main problem (my nails can split down below where I would normally clip and they also split lengthwise along the nail itself almost like I can peel the top layer off). But I really knew I needed to re-purchase this one when I looked at when I had last purchased it which was 3 months prior. I did my nails with ONLY this polish, two coats each time, every 8 days or so. So it was well worth the $20. I could still get a couple manis out of that bottle probably but I just like fresh bottles so much better and since I don’t get them professionally done, I indulge in the fresh bottle. Read more

If you’re like me and care about ingredients and stuff like that I included the Yuka app rating. Even though I don’t like that the ingredients aren’t the best, I’m still keeping it cause the quality is excellent and it’s exactly what I want. I do dishes and cook and clean daily so I wanted a protective coat on my nails that wasn’t just transparent and I didn’t want to bother with gel or acrylics. This is a great option if you want something low maintenance that still makes your nails look pretty. I used a clear base coat and applied just one coat of the pink nail concealer (pictured). That’s all I needed. It takes about 6 minutes to dry but I wouldn’t put pressure on them for at least 20 mins just to be sure. For example, I put oven gloves on 5 mins after and they all got a slight textured pattern on them. The smell is pretty strong too so I’d suggest opening a window when using this if you’re sensitive. The colour looks great though and it hasn’t chipped or peeled. I think it helps keep my nails strong too. I think this polish has a steep price tag for such a small bottle, but if you’re like me and do your nails at home then I think it’s worth it. Read more
