Not great. The colour is sheer and streaky. It makes my hands look old and dead. As with all essie polishes the wear is very good.
Will try layering it over other polishes but I won't hold my breath.
UPDATE: No this does not work with my other polishes. In the bin it goes :(

It took me a couple of months to try this np after I bought it, because the swatch I did was very see through and shimmery.

But after 3 coats, it is totally opaque and has the most lovely color, which flatters my pale skintone very much.

I just put it on, so I dont know how durable it is, but it takes a while to dry, which is the only downside (as im used to always putting on 2-3 coats of np).

Would I buy this product again? Sure, the color is amazing.

Very sheer and kind of blah on me as most lavanders are. I'm plae so this would probably look better on someone with darker skin,

I got this on sale and I did not regret buying this, because of Huckle Buckle I fell in love with sheer/semi-sheer polishes, I love this color on my tan skin, it is very subtle, easy to apply when you are in a hurry, if I run out of this color, I will definitely buy it again.

Cute packaging- the purple and white look so cute together. However this isn't what I was expecting. It took 4 coats to get bottle color...and it wasn't as "day glow" lavender as I had expected. The wear of this polish is on day 3 and I haven't seen chipping.

This is a purple lilac colour. I applied one thin coat followed by one thicker coat adn the colour came out nice. It's sheer where the white part of my nail was growing out. Other than that it was fine.
It's not a very exciting colour. I had the colour on for 2 days. I think it would last at least 3 days before it started chipping.

Not what I imagined, but it's not bad. It's an icy lilac that's too sheer. Pretty but I like ChG's Anklets of Amethyst much better. But it was only $3.49 online.

I debated this polish for a long, long time before actually getting it. I would add it to my list then remove it. I would pick it up at the store then put it back. I finally decided I had so many purples and light shades that I would continue to exist if I didn’t get this one. But the other day I found it in the clearance section so I waffled no more…Huckle Buckle came home with me. I’m so glad I changed my mind one last time. The color on this is so neat. It’s a lilac shade with flashes of iridescent purpley-blue. It’s a really neat effect. It applies a bit sheer so I needed 3 coats for full coverage, but those three coats and extra dry time are worth it. This is a perfect Spring shade for when I want soft color without going totally sheer. It reminds me of Easter…a soft purple that is different and out of the box if you don’t want a pink. I added a coat of ChG’s Wireless Holographic Topcoat to give it extra sparkle and I’m really happy with the result. So Huckle Buckle, I apologize and promise never to part with you! I would even buy you again if anything ever happened to you.

This is a "fun" color for me. True, it's very sheer. I've said before, if a polish isn't at its best by 3 coats at the most, it's not for me. And truthfully, even after it builds to an opacity I'm happy with, it makes me look a little....well, dead. But this one is great for a layered effect. I tried it out over pale blues, purples and pinks...as well as regular blue and black....a different look with all, and all are interesting and fun!

this is a high gloss light purple-blue polish with very subtle shimmer. i agree with other reviewers that it is far too sheer - i applied three coats, but it really needed a 4th to actually be opaque. the application was smooth, though, not streaky and dried quickly. imo, this color was not very flattering on my cool PPP skin. it might be nice for layering, since it's so sheer. i got this in a mini set and i would not repurchase it or get the full-sized.

Love the purple shimmer. The only thing I do NOT like is that it is too sheer. It took 3-4 coats to make it totally opaque. I'm not sure I would buy this again.
