I have been searching for a mango/papaya color polish. Sinful Colors' Let's Meet (love that name, you know I love a meetup) was pretty close. The color wasn't as deep as I thought it would be. It kind of blends with my skin tone and looks more like a neutral shade on me. There are some beautiful shimmery bits in it too. It looks great in the sun. If you spot a good yellow orange-y color, let me know.
After reading Ellen's comment about using a bonder, I went out and purchased Orly's Bonder. My polish did last a bit longer and chipped less. The polish looked pretty good around day 4. Day 5 I washed my hair so it looked a mess after. I'm going to cut my nails even shorter and see if I can get a little bit more wear out of the next polish. |

Anyway, I forgot I mentioned the bonder, but it does seem to help a lot--and I've used and like Orly's too.
Why would washing your hair mess up your nails?
@Ellen love the name of your polish! When I wash my hair all the lathering up definitely tears the polish off.
@Mimi I definitely see an improvement since I started using it. I was using opi's base coat which is also pretty expensive.
@OurLifeUnreheared I used to stick with reds, now I try them all. Right now I have on a green color...never thought I would be wearing that color. It's a nice accessory. I prefer it to jewelry.
