    favorite essie color

    9 months ago
    my go-to. this is my favorite essie enamel color by far. jet black is a little too dark and high contrast for me, so this softer shade is perfect. love the red undertones. polish goes on smoothly, consistency is solid but not too viscous. please never discontinue this
