This is a beautiful red polish. It appears to be a brighter red in the jar but translates to a deeper, almost retro red on the nails. It's a very versatile color that can be worn on all occasions. The microsparkles are AMAZING in the jar but don't really show up once applied. there's still a shimmer but not as intense as one would think.
I was very disappointed to see how watery the formula is. It's quite runny and tricky to paint on. It's opaque in two coats and the drying time is good.
Here's the thing; it started PEELING in less than 24 hours. I didn't do ANYTHING. It just doesn't adhere to nails. I woke up and noticed the polish on my thumb starting to peel off. It only worsened from there. With normal daily hand use and...walking around, more of my nails started to simply peel away.
I'd expect this kind of worthlessness from a drugstore polish, not from something I paid $8 for. It labels itself as "professional," must be a joke.
I paint my nails on a regular basis and don't have problems with polishes sticking to me. Not all of them are winners but this is just pathetic.
Unless you only plan to wear this for an hour or two, DO NOT BUY. You'd have better luck with OPI, CG and Orly.
