China Glaze - Left My Heart in Havana 0.5 oz - #84907

The picture shows a bright, highlighter purple. The real color is MUCH more muted

China Glaze is the only polish I now wear because it's the only one that will stay on for a week or more and still look like I just applied it! I actually just used this color for the first time last night, and I love it. It's the perfect opaque periwinkle-purple. Not too dark or too light. I used 2 coats as I always do, but you probably could get away with one coat. I do oil my bare nails with jojoba, then apply 2 coats of Perfect Formula gel basecoat first. I then apply 2 coats of color followed by a top coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat, which really dries the whole thing in a jif and creates a wet look shine. It's a ritual, but worth it to have perfect nails for at least a week. My nails are old and tend to be dry and sometimes split, although they do grow very fast. The splitting problem is almost completely eliminated since I started using this routine.

Lovely deeply saturated violet with blue undertones. I used it for an ombre with Zoya Skipper and they look fabulous together. The formula was a little gloppy, needs to be reshaken frequently.
