Quality is great as always, but the color did not match the picture. It’s much more purple/grape tones as opposed to mauve tones like the picture shows.
no, I do not recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Normally, I would never ever wear red nail polish because I think it's just not my color. Upon, seeing this I was quite hesitant to try it. I gave it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised that it's a beautiful warm crimson red shade that definitely looks good on my tan skin. Essie's formula is definitely creamy and opaque. I only did one coat to test it out and it easily covered it. For best results, I would do 2 coats plus a top coat. The applicator brush is great and does not streak. It dries fairly decently. This would be the perfect color to wear for fall and winter.

Leaves color behind when removing
terew

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color comes out just like the bottle which is good. However it chips fast and when you remove it with nail polish remover stains are left behind on my nails. See my picture for comparison.

Hello terew! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and picture with the color 'not a phase'! We are sorry to hear that this deep, rich crimson polish with yellow undertones stained your nails. Especially when using deep or vivid nail colors, we recommend applying a base coat prior to your nail polish application—this creates a protective barrier between the nail plate and the color coat to prevent pigment transfer and staining. Some people are more likely to experience staining from intensely pigmented polish shades. Those with dry nails are especially at risk. If you see staining during polish removal, lightly buff the nail to remove polish residue from the surface of the nail plate.

MOST GORGEOUS NAIL POLISH EVER
raivena

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This polish is some of the prettiest polish I have ever used, it’s shiny and has probably one of the fastest dry times I’ve ever seen in a polish. I absolutely recommend this polish, it goes on smooth and you only need about a single coat to get full coverage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a sucker for a good red nail polish; and this one is gorgeous! Looks brighter in the bottle; but with 2 coats it’s slightly darker and more rich looking. Great longevity, and super opaque.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never tried Essie polish before, but I was quite impressed with this! The color payoff was AMAZING! I only needed one coat, and it totally covered my nail with color! The colors are true to the bottle and look great! The dry time was average, and it looked glossy when dry. I'll definitely need to try more colors from them just for the color payoff alone!

Its a good quality brand. I enjoy this brand very much. I like that this color you only need to apply it once and its a thick coat. Personally i wouldnt by this color it reminds me of ibprofen just not a fan of the color but other then that love this brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yes! I love this color so much. It’s opaque and rich. I used it with a black base for extra richness. I would describe it as a bold wine with a bloody tint, but not in a gross way, if that makes sense. It just has a lot of depth. It dried quickly and shiny. I did not use a top coat. I would use this year round.
I think it would look good on all skin tones because of the undertone. Overall is a 10/10
