"For a classic coral with peachy-pink undertones, I love Dazzle Dry's Carnival Coral. If you have a vacation coming up and don't want to worry about your mani/pedi chipping while you're away, Dazzle Dry is the best. Its formula is long-lasting and will stay looking perfect for up to two weeks. It's also my favorite formula to work with when creating negative-space nail art due to its durability."
