Smooth Coverage!
I have several Essie nail polishes, but this one though has great coverage and really does shine and dries quickly. Excellent product.

Officially my favourite colour
Gorgeous colour - see pictures indoors and outdoors. The only downside is that it's very liquid which means that coverage won't be very uniform unless you're very skilled at it, or apply three thin layers. Given the price and that I have been looking for this colour for a while, I can live with it. It dries well and relatively quickly.In terms of longevity, I've painted my nails 3 days ago. They still look intact but I suspect it will last more or less 5 days, as many other nails varnishes.

Great colour!
Lovely colour, superb finish. Still looking good after a week. I am having chemo and doing my fingers and toes with this was just the boost I needed. Covered well, lovely shine, and so far protecting my nails from the ravages of chemo.

Gorgeous colour but not thick enough
The media could not be loaded. The colour of this nail polish is absolutely gorgeous, but it goes on thin. It does require two, or even three coats to get the richness of colour.

Thick consistency
This polish is an absolutely lovely colour, but it can be a bit difficult to apply as the texture is quite thick but it does give good coverage after only 2 coats. One bottle has lasted me a fair amount of time and when applied right with a top coat it can last a good week so it’s decent value for money.

My Nails Are Now VIPs
This nail polish didn’t just paint my nails; it gave them front-row seats to the fashion show of life! Fifth Avenue? More like Fifth Avenue Superstar! The creamy red-orange shade screams confidence louder than I scream when I see a spider. It goes on smooth, dries fast, and lasts so long I’m starting to think it’s got a gym membership for endurance. Every time I wave, people compliment my nails—and I’m pretty sure my hands have started charging for appearances. Buy it. Your nails deserve their time in the spotlight!

Thin
Find this nail varnish quite ‘thin’ and not very shiny. It’s not that good a quality.

The product quality is outstanding. Exactly what I needed for my work.
Apply one coat of essie here to stay base coat to a clean nail and allow to dry. Follow with two coats of any essie polish and finish with an essie top coat.
