I have repurchased multiple times. It's my favorite shade for pedicures. I have olive skin and think this cool opaque grey tone is more flattering and equally urban as black or blue shades; more...

This is a great color-I'm sad to say it just doesn't work on me. I have medium olive skin, and the color just seems to make my hands look ashy and wrinkled. However it is really beautiful on more...

Smokin' Hot is a really pretty colour from Essie. Perfect for Autumn and Winter but still pretty enough for me to rock in the Australian summer. The colour is a deep, greyed out, smokey purple. It...

Love, love, love. A creamy, dark purple, brown color. Perfect for fall and winter, but can be worn all year round. A sexy moody color with a great one or two coat application. Get compliments on it.

I love this nail polish. It's creamy and opaque in 2 coats. In my opinion it's a brown/grey/purple - very chic. I will definitely repurchase once it's done. It's a go to winter shade for me

I like dark colors now and then. And this one is absolutely beautiful! It looks almost dark purple on me. Not a favorite color of mine but it looks great. A must have fall/winter color for sure.

I really like this color, but this nail polish did not last on me. Within 2 days a few of my nails had wear at the tips. By day 5 all my nails had chips in the tip. I like the colors from Essie,...

My favorite color of all time. It's dark-yes, but it does come across as purple on me. I was really surprised by this color. I usually do an American manicure- very natural, but like I said, this...

I don't love or hate this shade of nail polish-- I agree it suits winter months best & it is an easy way to wear darker colours on your nails if you typically don't. The problems I have with this...

This polish has a very good quality. It was super easy to apply, opaque in 2 coats and easy to clean. I had it on for 5 days with only some very minimal tipwear, but it could have lasted way more....

My all time favorite nail polish, especially during fall/winter. It really is Smoking' Hot :) The color (which I'm not very good at describing...) is the perfect mix of purple, gray and taupe....

This is one of my all-time favorite polishes. I don't paint my nails all the time, but when I do I tend to like things that aren't in the standard red/pink range, and I'm *usually* not a fan of...

This is the first Essie polish I've tried, and I am impressed with the quality. It applied very smoothly and I had opaque coverage in two coats. The color is a creme, slightly purplish toned cool...

Price: not bad, about $9 CAD Packaging: I am not a fan of Essie's brushes, period. I have a wider nail bed and find the brush far too thin and 'flimsy' to leave a streak-free coat. I would also...
