Nooooo! Retire this now!

7 years ago
When I don’t like a product, I simply move on. No bad review. This is my exception. I love Essie nail polish, but there is something fundamentally wrong with this one and it needs to be retired. The color literally “split” the next day. Separated so my natural nail color showed between the rather large splits. It felt sticky on my nails. And, worse of all it stained my nails very badly.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Clumpy, cracked, and gross

7 years ago
Shortly after buying this the color separation was very noticeable. It was very clumpy and not applicable to the nails. Inside the bottle it was clumpy and cracked and overall gross.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Hi PolishLover4! Thank you for sharing with us some feedback on our Polish shade Garden Variety. We are sorry to hear that this shade began to separate. The polish should always be stored in cool temperatures to avoid this. In addition, to re-mix the polish, just roll the bottle between your hands. We hope this helps! If we can be of further assistance, please give us 1-866-313-7845.

Beautiful

10 years ago
I bought this product a couple of months ago and it is still my favorite color. Beautiful and opaque after two coats. My only complaint would be that it stained my nails after wearing for five days without a base coat, so I'd say it is a great polish.

yes, I recommend this product.

love this color

I bought this in the spring. Great almost dark polish. I like this as an alternative to black and brown. One coat works perfectly. My only issue is when removing this color...it stains my skin.

yes, I recommend this product.

To use with base only

10 years ago
I loved the colour but I didn't use the base under it. I ended up with Smurf nails for about 6 weeks. I had to use red colours after that to cover discoloration caused by this garden variety!

no, I do not recommend this product.
