Yes, actually they are quite nice. I like the matte You Don't Know Jacques. It's a taupe-grey-purple colour. It's like wearing a dull frost...I know that sounds weird...but, I don't know how else to describe it...LOL
It doesn't last long that is for sure...but, it really is a very interesting visual effect. When I wear it, I do get alot of comments & questions. My biggest issue is the no base-top-lotion thing, I am an avid CND Solar Oil user & not being able to use it makes me nuts as I hate dry cuticles. So, I can only do 1 maybe 2 days tops and off it goes.
Tips: Make sure your nails are completely moisture free, use scrub fresh or your fav temp dehydrator, if you even have the slightest trace of skin oil or moisture on your nails the polish will not make a solid adhesion. Don't paint your nails where it could be humid, like a bathroom or kitchen. After applying makeup or any facial/body products use a non-treated blot sheet on your nails to get rid of any residue, don't rub just press to blot, if you don't the polish will peel off. if your job requires the use of gloves...then don't even bother trying to wear this polish during work hrs...it won't last the shift
