When you apply the first coat your gonna regret paying so much for this, but den you'll love it after the second coat ?? it's gorgeously ethereal! ? Two to three coats make it look great. Three gives you a proper nail enamel finish, while two coats gives a more natural finish. Single can be used during French manicure. ?? That's about how gorgeous it looks, but I found it to fade away in the tip of the nail v fast, compared to other brands. Notexactly chip but slight sorts. Also I wish it did come in a smaller bottle. That way the price would have been less as well as would have gotten over sooner without going dry or hard.
