Love and Beauty by Forever 21- ???

Love and Beauty is the cosmetic and cosmetic accessories line from Forever 21. The polishes retail for $2.80 USD each, and come in a variety of colors and finishes. The bottle shape changes quite a bit, and this season's is more cylindrical than mine, the 2009 model. The thing is, I have no idea what the color is called, as the colors aren't labeled on the bottom, and this drives me crazy!
The polish is a nice thin dark blue creme that applies without running and is easy to control. It is opaque in two to three coats. The photos make it look like more of a jelly polish, but in natural light is a deep blue.
Dry time was satisfactorily quickly, but the most disappointing aspect is the short lifespan on the nails. Even with a high quality top and basecoat, I had actual chips, not just tip wear on a few fingers two hours into the work day.
For the price, I think it's an okay polish, but there are so many higher quality dupes available, so it is not like you are missing an opportunity to buy a unique color if you pass this by. It is a lovely color, but the integrity is less than desirable.
