含羞草

This pastel yellow is exactly the happy little pick-me-up my nails needed. It’s vegan and bio-sourced, which makes me feel a bit better about using it, and the finish has stayed chip-free for almost a week now.

The formula glided on evenly and dried to a smooth, non-toxic finish that lasted a full week without chipping. That bio-sourced base makes it feel less guilty to reapply, which I’ve already done twice—the color is just that happy.

I’m not usually a yellow person, but this pastel shade is so cheerful it’s become my go-to for gloomy mornings. The vegan formula dried quickly and stayed chip-free through three days of typing and dishwashing, which honestly impressed me.
