Review: Avon Gel Finish in Barely There

This polish has been a major fail for me:-( I hate to even post this because I have had such good luck with my other Avon nail polishes, and I have quite a few, but if you are thinking about getting this one I really don't recommend it.

The polish claims to be a 7-in1 product with built in base and top coat. I put it on my bare nails and it went on nice, smooth, very shiny, and I loved the color. I turned a documentary on and sat still for 1 1/2 hours, letting my nails have plenty of time to fully dry by the time the movie was over. I washed my hands afterwards and as soon as my fingertips hit the towel EVERY...SINGLE...NAIL...smudged! Seriously!? I can't speak to how any of the other colors perform, but I probably won't be getting any more of these based off of how poorly this one worked out for me.
