Nail polish fail! Last Thursday I went to my local ULTA and purchsed a few items, one of which was Sula's Paint and Peel nail polish in Ruby. I should have noticed that it was 50% off and passed up the offer, but noooo. I can't ignore a sale *sigh* I wish I had nice things to say about this polish, but I don't. The color of the polish in the bottle is a bright, hot, watermelon pink. The color of the polish once it dries on your nails is a primary to almost deep red. I wanted a bright pink, darnit! Then came the "setting" part. It never actually dried. The polish needs to be pliable for you to peel it off, and in doing so, the formula must be a little soft at all times. But if you have your hand in your pocket even a full day after you apply it, the polish is imprinted with the texture of what you touched. Even the "peel" part was not good. I tried to peel off the polish on my ring finger, and it took some of the upper layers of my nail with it. NOT cool. All in all, this one's a bust.
