I bought this along with two other colours on special the other day, and to be honest, I was not that excited about this one in particular - until it came, that is. Before I knew it, I was in love. Completely. The colour is simply stunning, rich, dark (but not too dark), gorgeous. The polish applies nicely, was opaque in two coats, and lasts me a week at least (I usually take it off before then, ever changing, so I don't know how long otherwise), but a week is long seeing as I type, do dishes, etc. There is not chipping and wear when I take it off, either. So worth it, and it dries relatively quickly, too!
