Fearless is a beautiful crème red that leans towards rust or dark coral. It reminded me so much of two standard polishes that I photographed them together a few ways. Fearless is more or less a slightly darker version of Essie Gel Couture's Style Stunner and Sally Hanses Insta Dri's Hail Cherry. It could be great in autumn or could be a sophisticated summer polish, depending on how it shows on your own skin tone.
Application Tips:
It's a different formula than standard polish so it's a slightly different application, though just as easy. But just be present with your task and you'll know what to do if you already have the basics down from using any other polish. I use the Prime + Shine + Seal System as instructed along with a hairdryer about a foot away on low heat and low speed. The work & self care time is truly the same story as with standard polish: If you long soak the nails in water within an hour of application, skip the cleaning prep, basecoat, thinly applied color coats, topcoat, or skip proper drying time between layers, the manicure simply won't last as long. It's worth it to take the time if you intend to wear the color intact and gorgeous for a week or more.
Removal:
This differs from regular polish. It can take ~15-20 minutes. I like the Sophi gel remover with a pump. I already had some which I sometimes use on standard polish. For Sophi/Piggy Paint, get set up with a paper towel under your work space, dab some over the surface of one nail at a time, immediately gently scrape off with something firm but gentle, like an orange stick or whatever and move from nail to nail. To finish, swipe the little leftover bits off with a tissue and a little more gel.
This was my second Piggy Paint/Sophi manicure and I am pleased so far! I had to quit using regular polish on my fingernails because the top layer of my nail would peel along with the polish as it wore. This made my nails so paper thin so I stopped but missed seeing color on my hands. Sophi and Piggy Paint polish to the rescue! This non-toxic stuff has not made me peel so far so I will keep on with this brand! I am also testing a few colors of Piggy Paint for later gifting to a kiddo I know and since they are the same formula that means there are more options for both of us!
