Royal Treatment

The deep teal color went on thick and even in one coat, and my nails felt moisturized rather than stripped after removal. It’s held up five days without chipping, and knowing it’s 13-free makes the whole process feel a bit kinder.

The red tea and seaweed extract in the formula really do make a difference—my nails feel conditioned after I wipe it off, not stripped like with other polishes. The deep teal shade is rich and looks almost gel-like, though I did need two thin coats for full opacity.

The color payoff is incredible—one coat gave me that deep teal depth the bottle promised, and the red tea and seaweed extract left my nails feeling conditioned rather than stripped. It chipped a bit on day three, but for a 13-free vegan crème, the shine and ease of cleanup more than make up for it.
