I'm always attracted to these kinds of colours. At first, I kept telling myself not to buy this because I have so many already just like it. I ended up buying it and boy did I make the right choice. It is so unique compared to the ones I thought would be the same (such as For Audrey, Mermaid Tears, etc). It is my go-to summer colour! Love this!

I really love this color. Its so summery and bright! The first coat is opaque, then the second is a lot more pigmented.

This is the first Essie nail polish that I have ever bought and I absolutely love it. The colour is adorable and looks great on fair skin tones, it doesn't overwhelm pale skin.

It is pretty sheer, so 2-3 coats are necessary but they dry quickly and smoothly. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful color! Application was okay very sheer first coat, streaky second but opaque bythe third. This is my new favorite polish! EDIT: Although I still love the color, the formula and dry time make me not want to buy this NP again! Maybe I will try looking for dupes...

This is a very pretty jade green looking color. It's a nice way to wear color without being too bright or loud. It took me three coats to get opaque coverage without any streaks. Essie doesn't have the most amazing formulations for their nail polishes but they're not bad. It's a little high maintenance to apply, as you need three coats, but I honestly don't mind. Especially because I love the color so much! The brush is a good size, not being tiny or huge and I always thought the Essie bottles are adorable! Generally speaking I love Essie and this is one of my favorite colors!

I absolutely love Essie bottles; they're adorable! I've wanted this color for the longest time and once I finally got it, I was super excited. In my opinion, Turquoise and Caicos is almost the same as China Glaze's "For Audrey", but this one is a bit greener. Turquoise and Caicos is amazing, I'd re-buy this, most definitely.

This is my favorite nail polish colour I have EVER used. I love it SOOOOO MUCH. I bought 2 for myself and another for a friend. I've tried it with 2 coats (which came out a *little* streaky in some parts but they were only noticeable close up) and I've tried 3 coats and I hate the way it looks with 3 coats. It loses the green tinge when you put on 3 coats and looks just more blue. It lasts a whole week (I put the Essie Good to Go topcoat over it, I'm sure that helped) and you cannot beat that colour. I've never seen anything like it. I've just started getting into Essie and this NP was my first and will not be my last.

I love this color. I'm not the biggest fan of Essie because they are very expensive, and because they are infamously streaky. Turquoise and caicos is no exception. It took me 3 coats to get opaque, and it wasnt until the 3rd coat that it stopped looking streaky. But, the color makes it worth it, and it does last. Having said that, if I were to run out, I'd probably find a dupe by a different brand because of the price and the streakiness.

One of my favorite nail polishes! I would wear it all year round. I think it's the perfect aqua color. It's not too green or too blue. It's right in the middle. One thing about Essie polishes is that the first coat is so transparent, but by the third coat it's pretty opaque. I think they are great when it comes to no chipping. Usually my nails chip so quickly, but this one stays put for long.

I absolutely love this color!! I had no problems getting a smooth finish using two thin coats despite the formula being a little thin. It is a beautiful color and really pops on my nails. I would definitely recommend this.

This color is so stunning! It's the perfect summer polish; it's fun and bold! The only downside to this polish is that it is sheer and you need good three to four coats of this color but I guess it's worth it cause the color is just so pretty! I love Essie polishes and this is one of my top 5 of all time!

What drew me to the product was the color in the bottle. It's GORGEOUS, but upon application I was completely disillusioned. It's streaky (and dries that way too) and takes about 3 coats for it to become opaque. It also doesn't exactly resemble the color in the bottle. It's not a bad color - just a standard turquoise you can get anywhere for much less.

I LOVE the color. This wasn't streaky (unlike quite of the new Essie's I've purchased) but it is VERY sheer. It takes at least 3 coats to get it opaque. Very pretty and lasts a long time on my toes partnered with Orly Rubberized base coat and then Seche Vite as the top coat.

Took at least 3 coats to be opaque but if you like CG For Audrey, it's very similar. Beautiful turquoise color, great for summer.

The whole point of Turquoise & Caicos is the color and it just didn't wow me. Its pretty enough but a little bit boring. The formula was a pain. 3 coats and I had to be very careful. Usually Essie polishes go on smoothly but this one just didn't work for me.

I love love love ESSIE nail polishes, and I am happy to say that I'm very pleased with this color. It's a very fun, bright aqua/green mix. It's flat with no shimmer. It's perfect for Summer!

In my opinion, ESSIE is the best quality NP out there - the only thing I buy now. But, I was only slightly let down by this particular color's formula - you need 3 coats to achieve the opaque shade in the bottle. Even then you may still have a few "spotty" sections on your nails. I haven't ever experienced this with ESSIE before so I have a feeling it's just this particular shade, which is why I only give it 4 lippies instead of 5.

I wish this were just a tad bit brighter (it's a more aqua than Mint Candy Apple, which makes it a tad bit more dull), but I still love it because it's so fun.

I really like this polish a lot. The color is very hip and flattering, but the formula is a bit spotty. However, three coats usually evens it out enough that it looks creamy and smooth. Essie polishes tend to wear very well on me also, so this one is a winner in my book.

I am so disappointed. I really loved the color; received 5 compliments in one day and questioned as to what polish I was wearing! However like many other reviewers have said, the quality of the polish is a BIG letdown! It is streaky and the color is not very opaque. If you put on one medium thin coat (like you should) it is semi sheer. I need a good 3 coats before I reach full opacity and cannot see my nail bed anymore. The consistency really is something though, and I don't mean this in a good way. It is goopey and clumpy yet also creamy. Some nails looked perfect while others are patchy and streaky. A BIG MESS. For the price of these (and as they are regarded as a high end brand nail polish) I really expected a whole lot better. The only reason this is not a one lip is because of the color. Sigh, it's as though I was going to war every time I try to wear this.

I love wearing this color on my toes. It's so bright and fun. On my nails, it comes out to a pastel aqua green-blue color. I love essie's formula because it's not too thin or thick and usually 2 coats does the job. Def will repurchase!
