It was also very shiny and stayed shiny until I took it off. The formula itself didn't leave me with any bubbles (which is my pet peeve when I do my own nails). Otherwise, it didn't chip or begin to pull up at the cuticles. This may have been more noticeable because I chose a darker color, but it's something to keep in mind. The polish lasted really well on my hands, but some of the top edges began to wear down after two days.
I was able to do normal tasks without worrying about my nails getting smudged within 20 minutes. The topcoat really impressed me with how short the dry time was.
The color was so pigmented that I felt like I could have gotten away with just one coat, but I ended up using two just to ensure it looked even and opaque. The base coat applied really smoothly and evenly, and it dried quickly, so I didn't have to wait too long between coats. The great thing about its polishes is how easy they are to use for anyone who's attempting an at-home manicure-the brushes are the ideal size for ultimate control. I used OPI's base coat, color, and topcoat to create my mani at home.
