Opaque after two coats but I prefer three. It's super shiny and doesn't need a top coat.

This color comes out To a pretty purple-gray on my nails. With 2 coats it becomes opaque. Im currently wearing this on my nails right now. It really is a pretty color but it's not one of my faves....

I'm surprised by how much I like this unique color. On me. it's a mulberry shade in most lighting, but can look almost black to a mid-tone grayed berry. Perfect for fall and winter. Two coats gave...

This is a gorgeous gray-purple creme. The formula was great, and I got complete coverage in two coats. It does go on a tad darker than you would think looking at the bottle, but I think this color...

This is a nice dark grayish lavender. Looks lovely on my golden olive skin tone, regardless if my nails are short or longer. Makes a lovely fall or winter mani and pedi.

This is a pretty color in the bottle, but it is much darker on the nail. I like it, but liked the bottle color better

I love this polish for my toes. Its a lovely muted purple, very chic.
This is opaque in 2 coats, i don't like essie's brushes, they are too thin and takes longer to paint the whole nail. I love...

I don't know what took me so long to try this. Merino Cool has been sitting in my Helmer for almost a year, untouched. I always felt that this was an ugly color that wouldn't suit me and I often...

I like this color. I had Sally Hansen Slick something(can't remember the name) that was very similar in color. It was in the Insta Dri formula and I hated. I hated the brush and the fact that it...

Grey was a hot trend this year, and this color does not disappoint! It's a grurple ( grey purple ) and it Is typical essie- thin coats layering beautifully.

The Essie Merino Cool is a combination of a violet-gray color. The consistency is just right. I like it when its under light, I think the violet color shows better. The packaging is just simple and...

A nice creme grey shade with a hint of lavender. The shade I've been looking for. I actually bought Essie's Chinchilly, but it didn't have enough of the lavender shade I was looking for. I love...

I'm a fan of Essie polishes. I love how they apply in thin layers and dry quickly. Merino Wool is close enough to SH Commander in Chic that I would call it a dupe. Merino is ever so slightly...

This polish is a charcoal shade pulled with a hint of purple. One coat is sheer and streaky, two is opaque and smooth. This is a highly dupe-able color, but Essie's formula is wearing very well...

My favorite from Essie's Fall Collection. It's beautiful shade of heathery taupe. I can see similarity between Merino Cool and Metro Chic. But, for me, its colors are not the same - Metro Chic is...

Looks nice on my fair skin, application was good, but it doesn't have the extra oomph to make me put it in my faves list. Nice, on-trend color overall.
