Freudvolles Leben

I've been hunting for a red that doesn't dry out my nails, and the red tea and seaweed extract in this one really does the trick—my cuticles feel softer after just one manicure. The gold shimmer catches the light subtly without looking glittery, and it went on opaque in a single coat for me.

The color is a pretty ruby red with gold shimmer, and it does go on smooth in one coat. I like that it's vegan and has the seaweed extract, but the formula felt a little thin and I needed a second coat for full opacity. It lasted about four days before chipping, which is decent but not amazing.
