- SSuzieVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars1 year agoGood color. Bad texture.
I like the color. It is a bright coral melon color. I don't like how it brushes on. It is new and seems to be thin, but it goes on weird and almost gloppy. It leaves rough uneven patches on my nails that I have to attempt to fix with another coat or a topcoat. I don't understand why Ella + Mila polishes do this, but it has happened to me before, in brand new polishes. It has the thin brush, and that doesn't help; I think the big brush in most of their bottles is helpful to get a good smooth thin coat.
Eella+mila1 year agoHi Suzie,
Thank you for your review and for trying One in a Melon! We're glad you love the coral melon color.
We're sorry to hear you experienced some texture issues with this shade. For smoother application, we recommend ensuring your nails are completely clean and dry before applying, and using thin, even coats while allowing each layer to fully dry between applications. Sometimes rolling the bottle between your palms before use can help with consistency.
We understand the thin brush can be challenging to work with for some customers. If you find the application uneven, applying a thin base coat first and then building up with very light layers can help achieve a smoother finish.
We appreciate your feedback about the brush preference - this helps us understand what works best for our customers.
Best regards,

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.
