Review (4/5): Strong and Beautiful
I'm blown away by how this product was able to hold up to the abuse I put it through, as a martial artist. Plus, it's healthier for my nails.
Advantages:
-Great for nail health.
-Amazingly durable.
-Short drying time.
-Gorgeous color (if you take time to mix a couple of shades together) with a nice shine.
-Dr.'s Remedy nail polish remover works surprisingly well, and requires very little to do the job.
Drawbacks:
-Very expensive. ...very expensive. Minus one star for extremely high price.
-Colors aren't exactly what I want, so I had to buy several shades and mix them to get a nice color. (yet another blow to my wallet.)
The drying time for this polish is short and durability is incredible. I am able to kick targets with my beautifully painted toenails about 45 minutes after applying all of these coats. The only other brand that has held up to this kind of abuse that I've tried is Sally Hansen, but Sally Hansen is not as good for nail health and required at least a day of curing time before kicking targets, plus it would rub off on the targets. Dr.'s Remedy doesn't rub off.
I use the base coat, then nail color, then top coat...yes, at around $17 per bottle, it was a ton of money to spend on something I was uncertain of.
I remove this polish after a week, and allow at least a day of rest for my nails.
