Finally a product that made want to write a review
Ok, so I always get chipped nails. Like ALWAYS. Apparently I have really oily nails. Go figure! Even my gel nails get chipped if the salons do not follow certain steps to really remove any excess oil from my nails (though I must admit that Essie Gels never got chipped - but not all salons can affor...

Chips on fifth day
Pretty color, great brush, but it didn't last anywhere near 14 days. Also it's shrunk so much anyway from the cuticle and the tips I couldn't wear it much longer even if it didn't chip. I did wash some dishes so I didn't expect it to last 14 days but expected more than 4.

Loving it!
The Essie Nail Polish in Color Gossamer Garments is subtle but stunning. Two coats gave full coverage, and it dried pretty fast too! I also love the cute little bottle! I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Very cute color!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Such a cute color and great 2 step system that's easy to use! I love the packaging and feel of it! Perfect for when I'm taking a break from getting my nails done. I love the shimmery effect of the top coat on the pink and it looks good on my other Essie colors too!

Beautiful, long-lasting shimmer polish with a smooth, salon-
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I absolutely loved the Essie Blushed Metal shade! The color is gorgeous—soft, shimmery, and elegant without being too flashy. It goes on smoothly with the perfect gel-like texture, and the brush makes application super easy. It dries fairly quickly and has great staying power—no major chips for over a week, even without a top coat. The packaging is sleek, and the price is fair for the quality. It adds a classy metallic finish that looks stunning in any light!

A Pretty Color that Requires Patience
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The shade is pretty, however it takes a long time to dry. It takes patience to dry and apply another coat. I would suggest applying thin coats…even if you have to do three thin coats to achieve the color from the bottle.

Eh
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This polish was kind of a letdown. The color in the bottle is cute, but it goes on super sheer with barely any pigment. You'll need at least 3 coats to get it to show up properly. The semi small size makes it easy to fit the bottle in a bag for on-the-go touch-ups, and the color is versatile enough for everyday wear if you're going for a super natural look. But if you want bold or vibrant? This ain't it.
