Confession-when it comes to nail polish I am a neutral, blush tone, & nude -clear even kinda girl. Chipped colored nail polish gives me anxiety-ha ha-but I do from time to time like to pack a punch & go with a bold nail color-Summertime is the ideal time for me to do so.
Have you heard of the nail polish {Cali based, American made} brand,Ella + Mila? They are a super sweet nail polish confectioner that creates nail polish with love.
Truly, their polish is vegan & animal cruelty-free. They pride themselves on the 5-Free ingredients:
- Formaldehyde
- Toluene
- DiButyl Phthalate {DBP}
- Formaldehyde Resin
- Camphor
Aside from their eco-friendly ingredients-I really love their packaging-simple but pretty with a tiny elephant as their logo.
So, how does the polish work & wear/tear--great actually. Ella + Mila sent me two colors from their new
Samba Collection:
- Pinktini
- Limeade
The colors are vibrant, apply smoothly with little need for a second coat, & lasts for a good duration of time--I do apply a top coat to help with chipping from an other brand like L'oreal Paris {Ella + Mila do have their over
top coatversions as well}, but I am happy to report that the color lasts.
