What woman doesn't like nail polish that dries in no time? With Avon's Speed Dry line, you get nails that are ready in under a minute. It actually claims to be dry in 30 seconds. This particular brand/formula holds true to that saying. I never before tried polish that dried that fast, but when I tried it, I was amazed. I've heard of them before, don't get me wrong, I was just a little skeptical like the rest. Not anymore. As always, a few days in, it started to chip. But don't let that stop you from buying it. No nail polish is chip-proof. I really don't know how to describe the color, but I will say that it's very pretty. It's dark, so you'd want to wear dark/er colors during the colder months. Usually you wear bright colors when the weather is warm/er. Don't let the "pearl" in the name fool you, this one is a nice medium to medium dark brown with slight sparkle to it. So to wrap things up, yes I do recommend this one, as it's affordable, dries quick, and comes in a variety of colors.
