I love red nail polish and this is one of my new favorite brands! This nail polish is free from: Petrochemicals, Parabens, DPB, Toluene, Camphor, Xylene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Animal Products. It still does have the "nail polish smell". The color is a nice vibrant red. One coat is not enough for me, so I put two coats on. It dries fairly quick. I always have a problem with nail polish chipping on the first day of wearing the nail polish. It didn't start chipping until about the 4th day. I am a photographer so I am always using my hands whether it be using the camera or what's worse on my nails is when I'm using my computer editing since there is a lot of me using the computer mouse and typing. So no matter what the nail polish brand says whatever nail polish I wear, it IS going to chip. The only problem I had is there was a bit that had come out and was on top of the bottle when I took of the brush lid(which you can see in the pictures).
