Overview

Someone who does their own nails gets a soft pink cream polish with an easy glide brush that lays even, streak-free color. The vegan essie formula gives glossy shine with base and top coat recommended.

A neat, polished pink that suits work and weekends, with a brush that makes home application tidy. Chip resistance depends on using a base and top coat, which are not included.

Who it's for

People who like understated nails and paint their own will find it simple to apply. Those wanting long, chip-free wear should pair it with a top coat or choose gel.
