   I find it ironic that the title promises diamond strength, and that the label says ‘no chip’ because right after putting it on, the same day and the next day too, it chipped. It didn’t dry as quickly as other polishes, and I’m not even done with the bottle yet but it’s clumping and the application is going on terribly. It’s starting to bubble and stick to the brush no matter how much I warm it up and roll it between my hands. I’ve not had it long enough for it to get old, yet it clumps and is sticky. The vibrant color isn’t worth that bad application.

   Sally Hansen has some good polishes and products, but this particular one isn’t so good. It wasn’t just my bottle, it worked perfectly fine at the beginning, but just a month or two later and it started doing this. I stored it in a room temperature area and just didn’t use it for a week and when I went back to it, this had happened. I don’t want to try to finish the bottle, I’m not going to bother with the other Diamond Strength products.

   I found the shape of the brush handle nice though, it was shaped nice enough to fit into my hand comfortably enough. It wasn’t bulky or hard to get off.

   Pros:
   1. Nice color (though you can find that in any brand)
   2. The top and brush shape

   Cons:
   1. Started clumping up very early
   2. Chips very easily

   I agree with all the previous reviewers about the color. This is the perfect gorgeous pinup red. Because I love the color so much I am sad that the product itself does not work so well. The nail varnish is pigmented and can probably work with just 1 coat. I used a base and a primer that I already know work wonders. The first time I used this polish my nails were all chipped up the next day. I thought it was possibly my fault and that I didn’t let them dry long enough. So I redid my nails and let them dry for over 1.5 hours. Again, they have chipped up with an awesome top coat. With other polishes my nails can last at least 4 to 8 days.

   Beautiful, high quality red color. If you watch Mad Men, it’s the kind of red nail polish Betty Draper would wear. Very feminine. I highly recommend. And, it’s inexpensive.

   This is a great “true” red. It’s what I think of as “Barbie red”. Very pretty, and the formula is great. Goes on smooth, has nice shine, dries quickly and lasts for a week. If you’re looking for a color that is an instant classic, this is for you!

   Thanks for reminding me about this Brynn (Reviewer below)!!
   This is also one of my absolute favorite nail polishes..

   Its a really pretty red, and the quality is great. It lasts several days without chipping (on me anyway).

   Definitely will buy again.

   I’ve always loved Sally Hansen nail products! This is a bright, perfect red. One coat is just enough and it hardly chips. Really good quality <3

    I am normally an Essie girl, but I saw this in the drugstore and the colour just called out to me… It’s a gorgeous red: bright and clear, not too dark. My other red is Essie Bordeaux, but I always feel it’s too dark and kind of retro/vampy to be wearable for every day. This, on the other hand, I can wear all the time. It’s bright, but it’s almost like a neutral. One coat is almost enough, but two is perfect. I thought this was a creme shade, but looking very, very close you can see the tiniest red microshimmers, they don’t show at all but just give a gorgeous dimensional finish. It;s so glossy I don’t need a top coat until I touch up the colour. It also wears well, though it does chip slightly at the tips the next day. But I just touch them up and add a top coat the next day. Love it.
