This is a nice shade of red, so it's a shame that the formula is so bad. You need at least 4 coats to make this shade look semi-opaque, and it tends to be very streaky so you might really need 5 or 6 coats. It also takes forever to dry. Lots of layers + slow drying time = a recipe for disaster! My nails have been ruined every time I used this polish no matter how long I waited for them to dry. Every little bump and scratch shows up, even days after you painted your nails.
My biggest problem with this polish is something I have never seen with any other brand. The color leaves a big red streak behind if you rub your nail against any hard surface!!! This is a HUGE problem that should NOT happen. I never want to see little red streaks on important papers or clean white surfaces, but I've seen them all over the place after wearing this polish! Putting one or two layers of top coat or another polish on top of the Milani polish eliminates this problem, but it shouldn't be a problem in the first place! This is definitely not a wear-and-go brand.
On top of all the other problems, this polish starts to chip after about two days of wear. Not worth whatever money I spent on it. This polish is really only useable if you use another polish/base coat first AND if you use another polish/top coat over it. Even then, you still have to deal with the lengthy drying time and inevitable bumps and scratches. That's a lot of work for one color! I won't be buying Milani nail polish again.
