best go-to color!

This is my go-to everyday color, it works great for me, looks great with my skin tone, and the longwear product stays on my nails 2-3 times longer than any other nail polish. I just wish there were more, darker colors in this collection in the 'nude' category.

Best nail polish!!
9 years ago
I love this new polish! it last about a week, I'm rough with my hands too, I washes my hands a lot...you just have to cover the edges well with the top coat so it won't chip easily. It drys up pretty fast, easy to use with a very nice brush. I also use a nail hardener as a base coat...best nail polish I've encounter that don't need UV light

This color was strong and grabbed everyone's attention. I stayed 4 weeks with no chipping, and I am nurse and mother who is constantly washing her hands. I thought it would be too good to be true; glad I was so wrong, it's great!

I received this polish as a sample. I couldn't wait to try it out. It went on smooth and easy, and gave enough time to correct any mistakes before drying. I put on the top coat right away. It went on as easy as the color coat. The drying time seemed a little quicker than other polishes. I would recommend trying this product. I loved it!

First I will say this polish is not cheap. I have bought another color after receiving a sample in the mail. However I only had to buy the new color since I already had the top coat. It is the best polish I have ever used on my nails. It won't last forever but I did get two weeks wear out of it. At that point I was starting to chip. Usually though color doesn't last past 3-4 day on my nails. I'm not easy on my nails. I highly recommend you splurge and purchase!

Easy gel nails
9 years ago
I received a free sample of the Essie gel polish (caviar color) and top coat. I have never been able to polish my own nails as I would put it on too thick or thin and it would never be smooth. When I applied the Essie polish it went on easy/smooth with just the right amount. The second coat was ready to be applied right after I applied the first coat. The second coat went on just as smooth and easily as the first coat. Right after the second coat I immediately applied the top coat that went on just as smoothly. I wore this color for over 21 days with no issues. I was able to remove the polish with regular polish remover. I was so impressed with the polish that this is the only nail polish I will use.

This is a really good product and the color stays shiny with the gel topcoat. I am not sure it is AS good as the salon but it is definitely a solid in between or quickie.

Great product!

I tried this product over the summer & my pedicure lasted weeks with no chips even with lots of swimming & hiking. My favorite part is the fact that you don't need a base coat which cuts down on the dry time. The color came out beautifully & I loved the high shine of the top coat. The wide brush made painting my nails quick with no mess. Love the product & will buy this again!
