Even if you aren’t a hardcore makeup collector — even if you’re just a part-time product enthusiast — you most likely keep in mind at least one product that turned a laid-back rate of interest into a full-blown brand obsession. For me, one such product was Smith & Cult exit the Void.

It appears like a ideal spring sky — that dreamy, rich blue that rocks your world after so numerous months of dreary, wintry gray. It brings a smile to my deal with whenever I see it on my nails.

What makes me truly happy, though, is exactly how pigmented it is (one coat is like three coats of any type of other brand) as well as exactly how freaking long it lasts.

And dude, I beat the crap out of my nails. I’m serious, these bad hands. I put them with a lot. great deals of typing, infant handling, kitty handling, chores, as well as even some weightlifting as well as burpies (which are the devil’s work).

Exit the Void, when I used it with a Sally Hansen eco-friendly Tea + Bamboo base coat as well as OPI top coat (they’re my present faves), looked ideal for five days. Then, about halfway with the fifth day, the very first chips started to appear.

But that’s fantastic for me! I left it on to see exactly how long it might go before it passed the absolute point of no return.
