Bags are Packed

So... I really wanted to love this nail polish. The color blue is gorgeous, very vivid. However, you have to apply at least two coats (and be heavy-handed on one or otherwise need to do THREE coats). Also, you have to wait at least 20-min between coats, or trying to apply a new coat will move around/remove some of the old coat, making your nails have this horrible streaking pattern to them and maybe even get gummy (that happened on one of the nails).

Even more annoying, the nail polish chipped off of half of my pointer finger--just from typing on a keyboard! By the second day, small spots had chipped off several other nails. I have no idea what went wrong with this nail polish. Hopefully I just got a bad batch, since I see other reviews are more positive. But this... just did not work for me.

Oh, also the color is matte -- not shiny like the pictures. I used a clear top coat to make them shiny, but was very disappointed with the color pre-top coat, as having a vivid "matte blue" looks really weird.

Tl;dr -- I loved the vivid blue color, but you have to layer multiple coats, add clear polish at the end to make them shine, and the resulting nail polish chips easily, even after applying a clear protective top coat.

I have been searching for the shade of blue and I found it! Women actually have stopped me to ask me where did I get this color from 😍 I am definitely buying another bottle

My usual brand doesn't have a comparable formula/slash color. So, I went looking. This is my first ella + mila nail polish, and it's exactly what I was looking for. Perfect color, great application, and it hasn't chipped yet in a week!

Great shade chipped easily
