just try it [SEP] yes it may seem a little pricey i was hesitant i must have a million dollars by now invested in various nail polishes but i bit the bullett to try this one as i liked the fact it was plant based i read the claims and was impressed well i received it a month ago it took a few days to arrive but came packaged well i immediately took it out of the box and tried it i layered it daily as directed initially it has never chipped i have had it on for almost a month it is shiny as well i now have a full set of lovely long strong nailsi only used the clear i still work so i am typing all day long i do my own cleaning so my hands are in use in soapy water etc regularly my nails are not pampered i have always had brittle weak nails with ridges etc had acrylic for years and covid put a stop to that i am so glad i found this product i just today did one nail in the neutral color that came with the set i purchased i will see how long that one goes without chipping you just have to try this you will not stop looking at your lovely natural nails
