Hi Abbe,
Thanks for your review, and sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience with this colour. In future, feel free to contact us. We're more than happy to help with colour choices etc. :)
For great staying power we generally recommend making sure that your nails have been properly cleaned before application. Do you have any alcohol wipes or isopropyl alcohol around the house? We usually recommend to use a nail cleanser (which is mostly alcohol) to wipe the nail down first to create a clean dry surface. Once it's dry, paint two super thin coats, so make sure to wipe most of the polish off the brush before painting.
I hope you will give this a go. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions :).
Warm regards,
Marie
