The nail polish is terrible. It is thick and streaky, the colors don't match. It feels like a waste of money.
Greetings. Gabriella Salvete nail polish dries well and lasts for 5 days. It transforms into a chameleon green color.
I ordered three shades: 11, 16, and 38. In the photo is shade 30 "PRINCESS". I tried to accurately capture the color in the photo: it's a pearly, delicate pink, with a fairly liquid crelly consistency and a beautiful blue shimmer! It applies well, the polish has a wide and convenient brush. The square top cap can be removed, making it easy to hold the brush in hand. The only drawback that makes me deduct a star is that it bubbles. However, it's worth noting that the small bubbles appeared on the third coat, and I didn't fully dry the previous layers, which likely affected the outcome with the bubbles. The layers dry in 10 to 20 minutes. Overall, the product is quite good and, in my opinion, surpasses ORLY polishes in terms of quality.
The nail polish is simply awful, just like the top coat. I always buy a set of two polishes - color and top coat, and I always get them from the same series to follow the technology. I have already tried CND Vinylux, Sophin, Orly Epix, Sally Hansen, Kinetics, IBD Advanced Wear, and OPI, so I have something to compare this polish to, and this one is really worse than all of them combined by three times. Actually, it's also cheaper than all the mentioned brands, so I don't know what I was really expecting.
Let's start with the brush - it is very wide, semi-round, probably the width of my pinky nail. Maybe it was designed to "apply in one stroke," but it doesn't work in practice. Especially if you have a square cuticle, not a perfect semi-circle like mine. The polish gathers on it with a terrible excess. Moreover, the brush is unevenly trimmed under this semi-circle, and it's actually randomly damaged, so you won't be able to draw a smooth line at the base of your nail with it, and it doesn't spread out when pressed like a normal fan brush. It has both jagged edges and bald spots in the bristles.
The polish itself is very thick, from the first use you feel like adding a thinner. The consistency of the polish has been the same for about 3-4 months of usage.
And now the most interesting part - it HORRIBLY bubbles when drying. I tried to apply it about 6 times, had to wipe it off and repaint. There are no bubbles during application. I tried everything - degreased my nails, applied a thin translucent layer, dried two layers consecutively and only then applied the top coat - no use. After 5-10 minutes of applying the top coat, the finish starts bubbling terribly, so much that it is impossible to wear, like an Aero chocolate bar.
I tried to understand what specifically causes this effect, the polish or the top coat - I took an old trusted top coat from CND Vinylux Gel-Like and applied it over this polish, and it got better! The bubbles became smaller, but they are still there, although smaller. So, I can probably say that neither the polish nor the top coat is great on their own. But together they become a terrible combo.
I really like this nail polish - it has a convenient brush, applies smoothly, and doesn't streak. It has excellent durability once dry, and my nails look well-groomed with it. This is not the first time I've ordered it, and I'm surprised that there are no reviews for such a good product.
