    Amazing!

    Anyone looking for long-lasting and high-quality polish BUY THIS. I have been doing my own nails for years, so I have used almost every brand of polish you can buy. From experience, this line from Essie is the best I have ever used and I recommend it to everyone. If I could afford to buy every colour from this line I would do it. Lol.

    This is one of the worst formulations of a nail polish I have tried. It is somehow both too runny and too tacky. It was impossible to apply. And good luck taking it off once you realize how horrible it is--the pigment WILL get stuck in your cuticles for days and defy any nail polish remover. I've tried other essie gel couture colors and didn't have this issue. TERRIBLE
