Late Summer Pop

Always love Essie brushes and smooth application. This is the color I chose for my late summer bounty that brings some life to the olive drab pants and grey tops! Pictured: base coat, two coats of color, top coat.

Loved the color, but started chipping
4 years ago
First of all, I really like the color of this polish. It's fun and flirty, good for any season. The polish is fairly opaque and two coats were sufficient to get good coverage. I wanted to try it out without a top coat to see how well the polish would do after a few days. As you can see in the photo, it started chipping (on multiple nails) after about 3-4 days. This might be typical for any polish without a top coat, but I was hoping it might have better longevity. I also tried other colors in the collection, and Willow in the Wind is a fun green color that had good coverage. However, the Boatloads of Love color, while it was gorgeous in the bottle, didn't cover the nails well, so it was too translucent for my taste. It appeared a bit splotchy, even after 2-3 coats. All the colors went on very smoothly, and came off pretty well without staining my nails, which I always appreciate a lot.

Somewhat of a Shine
4 years ago
Surprisingly great color with a smooth coverage, if correct amount of nail polish is on the brush. Even without a top coat it does not loose shine. I do feel that without a top coat it feels a bit more tacky which worries me whether it will rub off as I am handling materials or working.
yes, I recommend this product.

Best nail polish brand
4 years ago
In my opinion, Essie is the best nail polish brand. They aren't overly priced and have the best nail polish formulas. This color is very opaque; I only needed 2 coats. I didn't use a base or top coat and it has barely budged in the 3 days I've had it on. Love it!
yes, I recommend this product.
