Review: Great results - Bought in Brown. Is a lovely rich dark colour. Incredibly easy to use due to its consistency, not watery at all. One coat produced amazing coverage with a nice shine but I did two coats thinking it may last longer. Dried quickly in between coats and then I followed up with the Essie top coat and it lasted for ages without any sign of chipping. When I did remove it there were no stains left on my nails. Love this and will buy again in this gorgeous colour without any doubt.
Review: Nice - Love the colour.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice
*by B***B on 7 February 2026*

Love the colour.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Streaky
*by C***S on 2 June 2025*

It's really pretty and glittery, the polish is quite good, definitely lasts a good week or two if you take the correct steps. Dries down properly quite slow even if you apply thin layers, although it does take a few cotton swabs to take off since it's pretty tough. I think I might just need to learn how to paint nails properly since it always comes out super streaky.
