Very thin coverage

a year ago
This is a beautiful color it deserves a five star for that but it is very thin. If you are looking for a sheer look you will like this color. You will need three coats of this polish to not have full coverage. That also increases drying times and more likely smudges.

you gotta do blue

This is my go-to nail polish. It looks good with every outfit. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear it. I have 3 bottles just in case Essie decides to discontinue (please don't).

Love how the color pops!

4 years ago
This blue hue has subtle purple/pink undertones that make it pop in the light, and make it really fun. It might be Essie's take on the Color of the Year, and I think it's absolutely gorge! Best is that it pops on a wide variety of skin tones. My cousin is darker complexion than I (dark brown complexion with red undertones) and I am lighter complexion (light brown color with blue undertones) and the color looked great on both of us. Really love it--and I never write reviews.

This color is the most beautiful shade I have ever worn. I purchased this from Target, and I am in love. Essie polish is my favorite brand at the drugstore.

Beautiful bold color, iridescent pink/purple shift

6 years ago
Here I'm wearing a 3 day old mani in Essie's #766 You Do Blue! I'd say it's held up very well with no touch ups! I love this color, it's a periwinkle blue but what's not showing in the pic is a beautiful iridescent pink and purple shift! I love the brush too! I didn't think I could polish without the KL Polish brush, but this one works very well!
