Fun & Great Product
I needed a nail polish that was bright and easy to use, and Little Ondine in Reds (L001-Fusion) DELIVERED! I used this nail polish for a 3 weekend theatrical run (or 10 shows).Personally, I liked the fact that I could apply the color on a Tuesday night then peel it on a Saturday night or Sunday morning without the fuss of using nail polish remover and to allow my nails to breathe. Some might complain that they need to reapply the color on some fingernails every night, but I didn't mind because it would dry fast enough (maybe about 5 minutes), and there was no smell to deal with. I wash my hands often, so I found that I either needed to reapply the color or reapply another coat of the LT Secret (top & base coat) and/or reapply both color and top coat for some of my fingernails. The instructions recommend using the base coat before applying the color then applying the LT Secret as a top coat, which is what I did every Tuesday for the last 3 weeks. I guess it did help keep the nail polish on longer. I didn't try it without the base coat. However, I did noticed by the 4th day, I could tell the edge of the polish closest to my cuticle on one of my fingers would start to "lift" up a little. I think only I could notice it, but I would just add another layer of the top coat to keep it in place. Besides . . .adding the top coat kept the look shiny and new!I also noticed that it took a little longer to dry when it was raining outside. Maybe too much humidity in the room? It is water-based after all! hahaha! So buyer beware to those who live in humid areas. I would recommend two coats of the color to even out the color and layer. Just remember to let it try between coats. Again, the coats would dry fairly quickly, in my opinion, assuming 5 minutes or less is fairly quick. I highly recommend this brand! The fun part was peeling the entire coat off my nail with very little bits left behind if that. In this particular color, the peeled nail polish reminded me of rose petals! LOL!Happy Polishing!

I can wear nail polish again!
I used to love doing my nails until I realized the chemicals in polish were what caused them to peel and crack. I tried some water based polishes but they didn't last well and still required removal with nail polish remover, which also damaged my nails. For a while I gave up, then I came across Little Ondine and their non toxic peel off polishes, and ordered this color to give them a try. I also ordered the base and top coat, and did a test wear following the directions in the packet. My nails lasted for 4 days before I peeled them off to try another style, and I got so many compliments!PROS:-Vegan and cruelty free!-Non toxic-Peel off, no remover needed (yes, they really do peel off!)-Long lasting if you follow directions. I had no problems with chipping or peeling off early-Almost no smell. I only noticed a smell when I sniffed the bottle directly, and it was faint.-Fast drying. No quick dry top coat needed.CONS:-Some shades like this one are not as opaque as you may be looking for. This color will require 2 - 4 coats to be opaque.-It dries thicker than regular polish, so your polish may sit thick on the nail and look like a press on nail. I actually was asked a few times if I was wearing fake nails. Not a huge con, but something to consider. It may also make some nail art a bit lumpy, and you have to be careful to apply it nice and evenly to get a smooth coat.Overall the cons to the product are minimal and manageable, and I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to paint their nails but can't stand the chemicals in standard nail polish.

Safe, Fast Drying, Pretty, for short-term wear on fingertips
I most like that it is non-toxic, dries fast & shiny. I least like that polish wears off fingertips too quickly. After years of using nail polish, I was dismayed to find I had developed a nail polish allergy that caused puffy eyes and peeling lips. Online research shows “once allergic, always allergic to nail polish.” I searched all over the web looking for a safe, non-toxic alternative for my nails. Little Ondine was the most non-toxic, water-based nail polish out there with the best reviews. I had tried 12-free polishes that still were toxic. I got my first bottle of Little Ondine and followed instructions to clean nails before using & to clean outer edges of nail immediately while wet. I am so happy that there is a product out there that I can use. It dries very quickly and shiny. I used Little Ondine “Secret” as a base and topcoat. Everyone I see compliments me on the shine and color! I give it 4 stars for the ease of application, fast drying and shine. I withheld one star for lack of durability. Although it lasts for weeks on my toes, I have trouble with the polish wearing off the fingertips too quickly. It is a peel-off product. I add oil to my nails for a few minutes and massage. You can gently peel or slide them off. The nails do not get damaged with this polish like they do with the adhesive sticker nails when peeled off.

No fumes, dries quickly, easy on, easy off
Love that there is no odor when applying, love that it peels easily off. Dries quickly.I don't like using nail polish remover or conventional nail polish because of the fumes. This polish doesn't have fumes and doesn't require nail polish removal. I use it for a night out when I want to look a little dressy.I don't like wearing nail polish to work so I like that it comes off easily the next day.DON'T EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN A FEW DAYS.I would have given 5 stars except that the company claims the nail polish is long lasting, it's not. I find it only looks nice for about 24-36 hours, but that's all I want it for anyway so it works for me.
