    I’m on the fence with this one. It looks so beautiful in the bottle: sort of a bright plummy violet with a hefty dose of fine gold shimmer. On it’s a different story. It’s super-sheer, two coats...

    This colour is truly beautiful. It is a deep mauve colour with gold shimmer running through it. It applies like a dream, opaque in two coats, and has excellent staying power too! It is very...

    I'm wearing this color right now and I cannot stop looking at my nails! It is such a gorgeous color and I'm so glad I found it! I got it on clearance for $5 last year and I consider myself lucky...

    Not my favorite polish ever, but I can't find anything wrong with it aside from the fact that I barely reach for it. The formula is fantastic, one of the best from Essie that I've seen - it's...

    I was looking for a few new Autumn nail colors, and came across this one. As soon as I swatched I decided it would be great all year round. On my naturally tan (olive-yellow Asian skin), it's a...

    I loved this polish in the bottle, but not on my nails. The formula is terrible -- thick/gloopy and then streaky once applied. It chipped after 2 days, even with an expensive base and top coat. ...

    The precise description of this color: The base color is a true mid tone grape purple and the effect is copper shimmer. Two coats and you will get a saturated color. I agree with other reveiwers...

    Love this! A great pinkish-purple with gold flecks, try it, just don't be surprised that it's purple! Works great with my fair skin tone. If I had named this polish I would've called it 'Roller...

    I found this one sale, it's a nifty reddish-purple color gold flecks. Can't say I've seen many colors like it!

    I really don't like this colour or formula at all. I am hoping it is just this particular colour because I really want to try more Essie nail polishes. It was really gummy and streaky, while the...

    This nail polish is very nice! it's a purple-pinkish colour with fine gold shimmers. It looks so gorgeous under sunlight. In the bottle, it does look a little more like a deep purple so watch out...

    Just received this product in a swap, and I love it. It's just the perfect color for my light skin. It dries more red than purple, making the dried product look a little different than what you...

    Gorgeous purple color... I wouldn't say its a "safe" color at all, it keeps my interest very well, but is still appropriate for all situations.

    This is the purple for those who want a little purple but not the "I'm 15 and my favorite color is purrple" purple. I really like the irridescent quality of it also.
