So very not my color, but WOW, wears well!
Full disclosure, I got this for my little girls who wanted hot pink toes for summer. I'm a Soft Summer palette, I normally wear neutrals on my fingers. Invisible Crown, Lavender Nail Concealer, and Double Scoop, etc, those are my go-to's, so this is out of my comfort zone as a color. It does have some purple/blue in it, so it's not giving me lobster hands, but yeah...too loud for my personal taste. HOWEVER, it is absolutely a beautiful color if it fits your undertones, and you like fully saturated fuchsia -berry (think Koala-berry or Miami-beet if you're a repentant previous OPI user). The wear power, coverage, and ease of application are what is STELLAR about this one though. It's a full cream coverage, ALMOST a one-coat-wonder, beautifully self-leveling (even for Londontown, which excels at self-leveling), and sets very quickly. I normally allow for 3-4 minutes between coats, but this dried down much faster, and was not "soft" as some polishes are (particularly my favorite semi-sheers) for hours. Nope, not this one. It survived an immediate toddler diaper change, a dishwasher loading, yoga session, and laundry folding within the first 2 hours after application without so much as a nick or press mark (base coat Lux length, top goat Gel Genius). Much like the formula for Natural Charm, it's not nick-able, you're taking it off with acetone when you're TIRED of it!! 1 week wear is not a problem here, you're golden. Speaking of acetone, it cleans up beautifully. No staining of your cuticles, which is impressive for such a saturated color. Shine is not the highest I've seen on a Londontown polish, but still excellent. Conditioning is excellent, nails look great when it comes off (choose your base coat well).
So, bottom line, if this is your color, it's an absolutely solid buy. Well worth it!!
