I love this colour. Essie's polishes are great, easy to apply and won't dry while being applied. I've never had any trouble with storing the bottles as well, no dry polish in the bottle like some of my other polishes.

I first bought this in the summer and we were going to the beach a lot, so I kept associating this colour with summer. However, I've started using it again and it goes with any kind of outfit. I don't mind a wacky touch now and then, so even if I'm wearing something dark I don't think it's a bad thing to have teal-coloured nails!

I used this after one year (since was out) and I love it now!! Application is really good. On me is more like Misa Dirty Sexy Money except less mutted what I like even more. At first I wanted sth more like China Glaze Four Audrey, but now that I have FA I like Greenport a lot more! Mostly beause of the texture, application and drying time! I would buy it again for the quality, for the color I have enough of it in one bottle. At the moment I'm more interested in new one from Essie Resort Collection - Turquoise & Caicos. As for longwear - Essie is the brand that usually wears the longest on me - 6-7 days, I think Greenport is no exception.

The most amazing color, I got so many compliments when I wore it.

It applied great, and there was only a slight chipping after a few days wear. But that could be mended easily with a little touch-up.

Would I buy this product again? YES. Im already looking for a backup.

Gorgeous colour- great alternative to Chanel's Jade. I found it too green for me. no streaks once applied with base coat then two coats of polish. Without top coat chips quite easily though. Bottle is really nice and although many people say Essie has small brushes, I find them real easy to use.

i seriously did not think of how similar it was to for audrey when i bought this. i might not of if i thought of it. that said i do prefer it over for audrey. i compared this to a tiffany's box and to me it seems more like it. but i like it better because it has more green to it. i layered princesses rule over it and it turned so blue and pretty though.
i really like it :)

I loved this color in all the swatches. Then I got my own bottle and I looked terrrible in it. Granted, I look terrible in most greens, but I thought this one would be different. Oops.
I found that I looked much better in China Glaze's For Audrey and gave Greenport away.
It was terribly streaky for me and required 3-4 thin coats (which I'm starting to think is the norm for Essie polishes for me).

I like this color enough to have worn it about three times so far, but I don't love it. It seems to be a greener, more muted shade of For Audrey. I have to wear three coats to get good coverage. Essie polishes tend to have great shine but I still wear Seche over it.

I been looking around for this color for a while, and i ended up bought it on eBay since i cant find it at any local store. This is a shiny teal color, with no shimmer or glitter. The color in the bottle is a greenish teal color, however. it appears more blue on my nails. Though it is still very wearable, totally perfect for spring and summer. The color outplay is not bad, but i do need to coat it a few times to get the color even.

It is a teal blue kind of intermediate color. It reminds me of an ocean water color on a cloudy day. That same kind of green blue, so the name definitely fits it perfectly. Overall it's a very unique color, and I don't own anything that's even close.

Application was ok. First coat was really sheer, second coat evened it out but there was still visible nail line, third coat made it perfect, and Seche Vite dried it really quickly.

If I ever run out of it, I would try to buy it again... but oh wait, it's a limited color... so maybe not.

I purchased this item and I LOVE THE COLOR. I wasn't thrilled with the way it went on, it was a bit watery for my taste. All in all, I wouldn't purchase again, but I do love the color. Oh and it took forever to dry.

Beautiful color that is within a shade or two of Tiffany blue. Application is a little watery on the first coat, but looks perfect after the second. A great nail polish in a fantastic color for summer.

Gorgeous turquoise green. It's soft enough in certain lights so that it doesn't bring out the yellow in my Asian skin. I disliked the Essie brush and the rather runny application - I was spoilt with a couple of good OPI brushes and formulations my last two home manis. It smoothened out very nicely when it dried however.

Minimal tipwear, though I got a couple of minor chips while opening some packages recently.

Definitely get it this summer!

AWESOME for summer!!! I would only wear this during summer though. Can't imagine my hands with this color on in the colder season! This is totally summery and just looking at it will cool the temperature down!

Such a beautiful color! Essie really did a great job with the North Fork collection! Application was great and it was opaque after two coats. Would definitely rebuy.

Normally greens are not my thing but my boyfriend loves them and when I asked him for mani / pedi suggestions he choose this. Suprisingly I really liked it. I have ChG For Audrey and this is like a mintier version of that. Really nice app and wear too. It looked fun and summery and surprisingly girly on my pale slightly cool toned skin. I'd rebuy if I ran out.

I love this color on my goldenbeige/tan skin. I find Essie polishes to be a bit streaky compared to OPI but this one was fine after two coats! I thought all the colors from this collection were beautiful but Greenport stood out to me the most since it looked like a prettier, greener version of CG For Audrey. It looks a bit more green to me than the picture above. I love using this with gold shimmery tips. Very cute spring/summer shade and I get complements all the time :)

I'm starting to branch-out color-wise in my polish collection and this is a shade I never would have bought in the past. Its a green/blue creme and lovely! It looked good with my cool/neutral skintone. I got good coverage in 2 coats.

I was walking around Ulta and saw this instantly. I thought right away it looks alot like "For Audrey" by China Glaze... Only this seems brighter and more vibrant. I don't think the China Glaze is the actual Tiffany box blue. It's more of a milky pastel blue, but the box shade is just like Greenport. This is more green to some people and more blue to others. I would say it's the real Tiffany blue. I am a big Essie fan recently, I love them a million times more than I ever have OPI. I'm not normally a polish kind of girl, but their shades and formula are amazing.
