This pretty pink polish from Lauren B. Beauty showed up in a recent Glossybox of mine and I thought it’d be a nice color to wear this spring. The color is called City of Angels and is a bit more punchy in real life– the vibrance is somewhat dulled through the camera. I needed three coats to get the opaque look you see in these photos.
I’m a fan of 5 free polishes and Lauren B. Beauty happens to be vegan friendly as well. This polish chips easily, like many other 5 free polishes I use. I observed noticeable wear by the end of day 2. I also found that it was difficult to remove from the skin around my nails. If you’re someone who likes to change your polish frequently and 5 free/cruelty free products are important to you, this would be a great product. I actually dislike painting my nails (though I do like the end result), so this isn’t the best polish for me. I love it when I can get ten days or more out of a manicure.
Lauren B. Beauty polishes are called Nail Couture and retail for $18. You can find the City of Angels color here at laurenbbeauty.com
A pretty, easy-to-wear color. i admit, i am more prone to skip 5-free polishes since the wear is so bad. but i change my polish so often, so i deal, hehe
I know that is the downside to those types of nail polishes they do not stay on at all, almost to the point of just skipping it which is a shame. This color looks great and love the logo.

I had trouble with this polish as well. It’s a pretty spring pastel but it doesn’t last and the formula is not the best :( Womp womp
I’m tough on my nails though, so I need polishes that can last at least almost a week – but what a pretty shade of pink!
This is definitely a pretty, girly pink! You know that I do love to paint my nails multiple times a week, so I wouldn’t mind this :)
Alex,
I love this color. Three coats is quite a bit though. But this color is very beautiful and would be a perfect way to look elegant for spring. Happy Spring!
I love that it’s cruelty free!

Nice spring shade! I’m with you, I want my polish to last as long as possible, though I’ve found that hinges more on a really good base and top coat.
I just switched to essie’s no chips ahead, but even that didn’t make this one last. It works fantastically with OPI though.
