The Swiper’s Verdict: A (Day 1 verdict)
Swiping on this baby’s a breeze! The brush is long and flexible enough to reach over the sides of my nails without any pressure. The color (yours truly is a huge fan of bright colors on short nails) and finish is beyond words gorgeous. The consistency is thinner than my babies from The Face Shop, Orly, and Lancôme (another brand that IMHO makes the best nail polishes) which I actually like because it dries faster and you can work up to three layers. The touch-feel? It feels rubber-y which is rather nice versus the usual feel of inexpensive polish that’s so thin you can almost tell it’s chipping within the day.
No culinary classes = nail polish day!
Watch out for my final verdict on this baby within the week!
