### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long lasting, flattering shade
*by G***A on 31 August 2025*

This is a good goes with anything neutral colour. It lasts for a week or more when used with a top and base coat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product
*by P***X on 7 December 2023*

Love this brand as it lasts ages without chipping ,colour is great as well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ God quality, but slightly different colour when applied
*by R***6 on 17 November 2018*

This nail varnish goes on nicely, gives full coverage and is good value for money. The one criticism is that I found the colour to be more of a greyish mauve than what the pictures suggested. It was nice on, but not entirely what I was expecting. The quality of the product is really good and I’ve had lots of comments about the colour being nice.
