    Promising review: "This color is amazing. People stop me all the time wanting to know which salon I went to. They always think it's gel, too. I have tried it over black nail polish and it does last longer and I've tried it with just two coats and it's still beautiful." —England86

    Many reviewers also use this as a hair mask!

    Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best skincare product I have ever used. I don’t say that lightly as I am a self-confessed beauty junky and cystic acne sufferer. But holy hell, this mask literally changed my life in less than a week. I've tried everything, but this mask is a godsend. I apply it every single day for exactly 10 minutes before showering. Within three days, my cysts have dried up completely and flattened (which would’ve taken at least two weeks normally). No new pimples have emerged and my skin is younger-looking, less spotty, and much softer." —loveorbit

    Promising review: "Got this on a whim because my girlfriend wanted to paint the dog's nails. The polish went on easily and stayed on. We were cutting the grass and the dog went out and played in the fresh-cut grass, running around, and it's still on! A little scuffed but still pretty much solidly on. So far two days have gone by and it's still on. We're going to get more colors." —Diaztortillas

    Promising review: "I'd never bought a hair inhibitor before and was skeptical. To my surprise, from the first application it actually worked. I used it for under my chin; typically after tweezing my hair grows back in two days. After tweezing and using this product one time, I haven't had to tweeze in 1.5 weeks and hope I won't need to soon again. I apply most days twice a day. Would definitely recommend! Gets 5 stars from me! I am very happy with the results!" —Anonymous A.
