Perfect shimmery red!

I love this nail polish from China glaze! It is like a pearly shimmer and a really nice red. I would do two coats for full coverage. The scent is just like any other nail polish. In my experience, China glaze resist chipping for a little bit, but obviously it is not indestructible (I wish though lol). The dry time is pretty typical of China glaze, so I wouldn't do anything that would smudge your nails within the first hour (like don't do the dishes. But you can drive.)
