    good quality but odd color

    2 months ago
    The product is a good quality, however the color looks quite different than the picture. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are buying it in a store so you can really see the true color. But it does last long and doesn't really chip so it is a good quality if you do like the color.

    Hi there weagesdyuiopp, thank you so much for keeping it real with us! We completely get that "oh no" moment when the color on your nails doesn't quite match the one you saw on your screen. Digital displays can be so tricky with lighting and undertones. We’re so sorry to hear this vibrant, sunny yellow with soft red undertones felt like a bit of a mismatch for you. However, your advice to check the shades in-store is honestly a total pro-tip! 🛍 There’s nothing like seeing those subtle Essie nuances in natural light to find your perfect match.
