I wanted to love these nail polishes, but I don’t. They are all extremely difficult to apply. I’m quite new to polishing my nails, but you shouldn’t have to be a professional to apply nail polish. I ended up testing out another brand of dollar nail polish and found that the other formula worked and didn’t get all messy. I try to apply thin coats and wait 15 minutes between each (which is insane) but they still smudge. I also used this brands base and top coat and it’s just as bad, if not longer to dry. The one time I managed to apply polish and it didn’t look like crap, they came off the next day when I did dishes. I think the brand is so cute and love that it’s cruelty free and vegan, but it’s definitely not easy to deal with.
