Revlon Nail Enamel, Chip Resistant Nail Polish

This product was recommended by Vickie Pierre from VeteransAutoInsurance

When it comes to nail polish, I am of the opinion that it’s hard to go wrong with any shade of red. However, as an African American, I have difficulty finding red polish that truly “pops” against my skin tone. But once I discovered Divine by Revlon, I was sold. This deep red-purple shade has become my “go-to” polish, especially on my toes, because it provides a vibrant and rich splash of color without looking tacky or overwhelming. And when they say that it has a glossy finish, they aren’t lying! I have never had to add a top coat to this one. My experience with this polish is that it will last for days – sometimes even weeks – without losing its luster or shine.

Shortly after, her daughter created a ’10 FREE’ brand that LaPierre could use, while also creating a legacy.
