    This is a gorgeous dark and juicy berry colour. I bought it over a year ago on sale at my local Trade Secrets for $4. Three coats gives me full opacity with no streaking. Standard dry time. I...

    I picked this polish up at my local dollar store for $3! Along with a few other colors, at that price I couldn't just buy one. But this one in particular is unlike any color I've seen before....

    I really love this shade!!!!! It's deep and dark but still much lighter than say Wicked by Essie, and it's darker than Bordeaux by Essie. It has a gorgeous reddish-brown hue that makes my nails...

    The color -- deep jelly plummy-brown burgundy -- has been described pretty well, as have the application issues. Put me down as someone who has a bear of a time getting this to go on evenly, and...

    DDD/NC43. I'm pretty "meh" on this polish. Color-wise, it's a pretty dark burgundy with slightly cool undertones, but this isn't a color that one couldn't find in many other lines. It also takes...

    I love Essie nail polishes, but this particular one leaves much to be desired. It requires about 2 layers to achieve desired color, but that's not the problem. My problem is that it took wayyyyyy...

    Essie's Clutch Me if You Can has two things going for it: the pretty wine red color and the glossy, jelly-like finish. But then the good times stop rolling. It is unbearably streaky. It's not...

    I agree with other users that this takes several coats to achieve the bottle color. It has definite plum undertones so you have to use 2-3 coats to achieve the desired bottle color. I found using...

    I must have lucked out with my bottle, because I didn't have any trouble with long drying time or lack of color. I put two coats on, it took the standard time to dry, and I am so in love with this...

    Yes, this one is sort of a primadonna requiring pampering but it's worth it if you like the color. I didn't.<br> <br> THE COLOR is a brownish deep red on my nail. In the bottle it's a deep...

    This is a beautiful deep red but it is slightly annoying to have to apply 4 coats to achieve the color in the bottle, which is why I took off a lipstick. Nevertheless it's a great shade and the...

    Amazing color, but 4 coats to achieve it? My goodness. The reviewer below suggested pairing this with another deep polish, and I think that's exactly what I'll do - apply it on top of Revlon's...

    As with other dark-colored Essie polishes, "Clutch Me If You Can" can be an exercise in patience, even for those of us who regularly do our own nails. The color is beautiful though: Deep, dark...

    I'm an Essie fan. Usually. Well, not always, but I am a fan of their reds and their shimmer formulas. This color is a jelly-looking finish- ultra glossy and gorgeous- the color and finish are...

    Essie Clutch Me if You Can is a gorgeous deep, dark browned red creme in the bottle, so it's a shame that it takes 3 medium to thick coats to achieve bottle color. Because it has a plummy...
