great polish and great deal even you get repeats [SEP] update got my second shipment today all in tact and great color selectionthis is my guilty pleasure it is definitely like gambling but once every month or so i take the chance and roll the dice some times i get colors i do not have and other times i get of the same but guess what you can mix these colors and get something that you like that is what i do i have mixed some shimmery colors with solids and came out with a beautiful shade that did not exist before and for around each it is such a great deal dollar store price but top salon quality this polish has been discontinued which is really sad because it is my favorite by far it goes on smooth love the wide brush and consistency it helps my nails grow and keeps them healthy and protected also it lasts forever i mean the polish in the bottle will last forever like no expiration date i have some that i have had for over years and they still glide like they were new this is copy of my review from same product but bought different times and vendors this a great price for polishes buying them in the store would be like or i have to admit this is my favorite guilty pleasure it is like gambling lol for around a polish this is such a fun way to try new colorsi absolutely love this polish i have used it for years the nice thing about these polishes is that even after years they still perform as well as the new ones i love how easy it is to apply if i am in a hurry one coat is fine i like to take my time with my nails so i have steps below i like to change my polish every week so chipping isn t a problem for me also i wear gloves when i do dishes or clean to extend the life of my nailsi love that this polish dries fairly quickly if you don t put it on too thick i mean put on a coat while watching tv or on the pc careful not to touch anything but let it dry thoroughlythen if you need a little more tint slap a little thin layer to make it pop also here are couple tips i learned through my years of doing my nails use the sh complete care or cleard for takeoff as a base coat i am pretty sure that is why it s called that it makes sense to me i know they say you don t need one with this polish but really it is for easier removal it makes your life so much easier especially with darker colors that seem to get in the creases and under your nail that are a pain to remove use a white polish let s snow for example under any color to make that color really pop you don t need a really thick coat of white either just enough to give a canvas for the bright color to pop this polish is a little thick so mind that when you apply it put one streak down the middle of your nail your first application to each nail this will be a little thicker then go to each side and touching the outskirts of the middle line to grab some of the excess there to spread to the sides i use sally hansen salon manicure top coat as well to seal the color in if i am not using a salon manicure glitter overcoat i think they both help preserve the color i know glitter can be intimidating because it s such a pain to get off don t let that deter you if you like the look of glitter go for it there are polish removers designed for that now as well as the polish remover in the jar that you put your finger in to remove color there is one that has little ridges or brushes inside the center wall that help strip the glitter can t tell you where or who but i can say you probably have one in your town for those of you that like a little shiny nail but not necessarily color i use the clear d for takeoff and add some drops of any sheer color arm candy sheer ecstasy sweet talker shell we dance pink slip it just looks like a natural nail with clear polish only it hides blemishes and your nails look super awesome i get compliments all the time about how healthy my nails look when i do thati hope these tips help these are things i have learned over the years i love doing nails and i am glad to share the things i have discovered to save someone else some frustration or time
