Pau-rosa

The rosewood shade lives up to its name—warm and muted, not at all brash like some reds I've tried. It's the kind of color that looks effortless with a bare hand or a full outfit, and the standard size has lasted me through two weeks of chipping-free wear.

I was a little worried the standard option might look too plain, but the finish is so clean and natural that it works with everything. It's held up through a week of dishes and typing without chipping, which is more than I can say for other polishes.

The color is exactly that refined, natural rosewood tone I was hoping for, and the standard size fits my nails perfectly without any trimming. It’s stayed chip-free for over a week now, which is way better than my last few attempts.
