The breathable nail polish lasts longer than the standard nail polishes, and has all the shine and coverage I want in a polish. These polishes don't peel, so a manicure actually lasts longer. And not having to put on a base-coat and top-coat provides the window of time I can make for this beautification ritual. I didn't realize these breathable polishes existed, and certainly won't be going back to the non-breathable ever again. The selection of colors in the breathable is pretty good, but hoping there will be more shades to choose from in the coming season, particularly shades with glitter, as awareness of this option in nail care trends upward. Can't help but wonder if these polishes will keep my nails healthier. Will have to comment on that once I have tried them for longer than a couple of weeks.
