Review (3/5): The color is way off from the description
I wanted to try the breathable nail polish. I prefer frosts or pearls, and pinks. My favorite polish is by another company in a rose gold.
The photos included for this polish clearly look rose gold. Sure, different monitors, screens, etc etc, but everything else has been spot on, EXCEPT this polish.
First off, I love the rubberized top. It makes it so easy to handle. The polish itself flowed well and went on smoothly.
My beef is the huge color difference. I've already opened it, I can't return it. It totally looks rosy and pearlized in the photos on Amazon. BUT, in reality, it is mauve, nearly purple. The color name is "Pinky Promise", so the minimum I expected was a shade of pink. They should change the name to "Purple Promise", which would be much more accurate. It is so different, I thought maybe I was sent the wron bottle. But the sticker on the bottom has the right name. Maybe someone messed with stickers?
It is not a horrible color, but not what I wanted, and very dark for me. Very disappointing. The quality is ok, but the shade is WAY off from the photo and name.
UPDATE: Found the weakness in this polish. Despite it being so dark, I wanted to test the "breathable" polish, as I'd never tried it. I have to say that it lasted really well. I put it on with no bottom or top coat, just the polish. It was still going strong, no chips or flaking, four days later.
Until I did a big batch of dishes.
I usually wear gloves to wash dishes (yes, sadly, we have no dishwasher where we live. It's like the 1950's). However, I wanted to test the polish, so wore my usual glove on my right hand, and no glove on the left.
Water, for prolonged time, is this polish's kryptonite! I added a photo. All the polish came off the ends when my nails got super wet and soft.
But I will say the polish lasted much longer than my usual brand (Hansens).
