Such a beautiful color

I received this nail polish in my Ipsy bag a while back and its so gorgeous! For the longest time, years really, I preferred bright colors for my nails. As I've gotten older I've found myself drawn to more neutral-esque colors. I find Smoking Mauve to be the perfect blend of grey and lavender. What I like most is that it's neutral but it still has a lovely hint of purple, and so it doesn't clash with most clothing.

I typically put on two coats and it's perfectly opaque. It doesn't seem to take any more time than any other polish to dry. I find it to be quite chip resistant. I looked up the price of the bottle online and on the website it says it costs $9 a bottle. To me, that's quite pricey. While I'd like to say that I'd replace it when it runs out, it will all depend on whether I can find a dupe for it in a less expensive brand.
