I only use it on my toes, as I don't like `color` on my fingers. I am very pale and 99% of the reds look awful on me, but this is really pretty. It is a berry red, bright and beautiful. It has a high shine, even after 2 weeks on my toes, but now I took it off, lol. Really, didn`t get dull, didn't chip, it is amazing! Oh, and also, it doesn`t leave your toes that ugly yellow tint afterwords like the crappy ones. :-)
