The cold undertone is what sold me—it reads almost icy in natural light, which is exactly the retro minimalist vibe I was after. Two coats give a clean, opaque finish that’s made my plain manis feel way more intentional.

The white-off shade is pretty and exactly the retro minimal look I wanted, but the formula goes on a bit too thick and takes a while to even out with two coats. It dries fine and the color is nice, just not as easy to work with as I hoped.
