1002 Betty

I’m usually terrible at painting my own nails, but this soft mauve pink glides on so smoothly that even my shaky hand looks salon-done. The color is exactly the muted, elegant shade I wanted, and it’s already lasted a week without chipping.

I’ve used this gel polish three times now and the soft mauve pink applies so evenly that even my non-dominant hand looks salon-done. It’s the solid finish that really sells it for me—no streaks, no fuss, and it cures perfectly under my lamp.

This mauve pink is the perfect everyday shade, not too purple and not washed out. Two coats gave me a fully opaque solid finish with no streaks, which surprised me since lighter pinks usually need three.
