I like the idea of a water based polish without all the chemicals in theory but in practice it just didn't have the lasting power that everyday polishes do - within 3 days I was seriously chipped and that is after using a regular topcoat, not the Suncoat one. I also didn't find the polish went on very smoothly, it tended to gunk up in spots and it felt kind of gritty. This would be a great choice for young girls that you want to keep chemicals from but not a great choice for big girls unless you have the time to be reapplying your polish every few days!
