First and foremost, the name of this shade is "Gorgeous" and that is exactly what it is. Gorgeous! Although the bottle seems really pigmented, the actual polish is quite sheer and you'd need three coats to get a decent coverage BUT pop this baby over a black nail polish for a vibrant and gorgeous hue. I absolutely love this shade. I also purchased it at Ackermans for a mere R20. I'm unable to say how long it lasts, because I've never been able to wear it longer than a few days before I had to remove my polish.
