RETRO (aka GRANDMA'S KITCHEN TILE)

The shade is such a warm, cozy throwback—that brownish yellow with the gold shimmer catches light in a way my camera doesn't do justice. I did two coats with a top coat and it's been chip-free for a full week, which is rare for my nails.

I was worried the gold shimmer might be too flashy, but it’s actually a really subtle, warm glow that catches the light nicely. Applied three coats like the description suggested, and it covered evenly without any streaks. Perfect for that cozy retro vibe I was going for.

The shimmer shows up just enough in sunlight to look classy, not flashy, and it held up through a full week of dishes with no chips after two coats plus top coat. I’m glad it’s 10-free and vegan since my hands are sensitive, and the color is exactly that warm grandma vibe I wanted.
