ORLYBreathable - Pinky Promise 18ml

I wanted to try the breathable nail polish. I prefer frosts or pearls, and pinks. My favorite polish is by another company in a rose gold.The photos included for this polish clearly look rose gold. Sure, different monitors, screens, etc etc, but everything else has been spot on, EXCEPT this polish.First off, I love the rubberized top. It makes it so easy to handle. The polish itself flowed well and went on smoothly.My beef is the huge color difference. I've already opened it, I can't return it. It totally looks rosy and pearlized in the photos on Amazon. BUT, in reality, it is mauve, nearly purple. The color name is "Pinky Promise", so the minimum I expected was a shade of pink. They should change the name to "Purple Promise", which would be much more accurate. It is so different, I thought maybe I was sent the wron bottle. But the sticker on the bottom has the right name. Maybe someone messed with stickers?It is not a horrible color, but not what I wanted, and very dark for me. Very disappointing. The quality is ok, but the shade is WAY off from the photo and name.UPDATE: Found the weakness in this polish. Despite it being so dark, I wanted to test the "breathable" polish, as I'd never tried it. I have to say that it lasted really well. I put it on with no bottom or top coat, just the polish. It was still going strong, no chips or flaking, four days later.Until I did a big batch of dishes.I usually wear gloves to wash dishes (yes, sadly, we have no dishwasher where we live. It's like the 1950's). However, I wanted to test the polish, so wore my usual glove on my right hand, and no glove on the left.Water, for prolonged time, is this polish's kryptonite! I added a photo. All the polish came off the ends when my nails got super wet and soft.But I will say the polish lasted much longer than my usual brand (Hansens).

Pinky Promise is a beautiful color. It’s considered a metallic so it has depth but I love that it’s not dominated by glitter. It will easily become a new favorite for me.

Wanted the shade in the photo. I’m reality it’s a deep burgundy/purple. Ugly.

The color was more pink in their picture than what I received (which was more like a dark purple/brown). Rating two stars for the misrepresented color. The shipping was satisfactory.

I love that it is cruelty free
