- LTLaura T.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars1 month agoTossed Secret Garden into the trash can!
The Secret Garden color does not apply well and leaves streaks of color. Tossed it out after 1 try.
- ECEllen C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 year agoLove the color
Didn't last quite as long as I had hoped but it was my first mani with all my new products!
Eella+mila1 year agoThank you so much for your review.
We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with chipping and would love to help.
For a longer-lasting manicure, we recommend buffing/filing the nails, ensuring the nail beds are completely clean from oils or dust residue, applying a base and top coat, applying thin coats, and allowing each layer to fully dry before applying another. Additionally, we suggest you to try “capping” the nail tips to lock in the color.To extend the life of your manicure, “cap” the free edge of each nail by swiping the brush horizontally across the tip. This helps to seal the polish and prevent chipping. Lifestyle and general nail health can affect the longevity of each individuals manicure, we suggest wearing gloves when doing dishes or work with hands and be sure your nails and cuticles are sufficiently hydrated before application.
These steps can prevent the manicure from streaking, chipping, or peeling easily.

I really like this color. It's a very nice off-white. It's creamy but a neutral cream and looks great for French Manicures or accent nails.

Nice color, not quite white, but almost.

Have not tried the polish yet, but it arrived stuck to the box and I had to pull hard to get the bottle out. The box and bottle had a large amount of hardened orange polish and was even under the screw on lid/handle. This “defect” was packed this way as none of my other 3 polishes had leaks and I did not order an orange colored polish. This was my first exposure to Ella & Mila.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about application, wear, and care.
ella+mila polish is designed to be gentle on nails. We always recommend using a base coat to help prevent staining and ensure smooth, even application.
For best results, apply 2–3 thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before the next. Thin layers help the color look smoother and more even.
Dry time can vary depending on how thin each coat is applied. For best results, allow a few minutes between layers and finish with a top coat to help seal and protect your manicure.
We recommend using both. A base coat helps polish adhere and apply more evenly, while a top coat seals in color and adds a glossy finish.
ella+mila polishes are made without many of the harsh chemicals commonly found in traditional polish and are designed to be gentle on nails when used as directed.
Yes. ella+mila is cruelty-free and vegan, and our products are never tested on animals.
