Chiodo di Garofano

Two coats gave me that exact chocolatey depth with the bordeaux glow peeking through in daylight, and it survived two hand washes without chipping. The shade really does carry that rich, almost moody vibe from afternoon to late night.

The brown shifts subtly between a hint of violet and bordeaux depending on the light, which makes it way more interesting than a plain chocolate. Lasted through a whole weekend of errands and a late dinner without chipping, so it really does hold up until the early hours.

I was hesitant about the color at first, but the hint of bordeaux makes it so much richer on the nail than the bottle suggests. It lasted through a whole weekend without chipping, which never happens with my old polish.
