Magical color!

Lovely on fingernails; even better for toenails - subtly unusual but not at all weird. I usually use sheer naturals, so this was a leap for me.

yes, I recommend this product.

This color is beautiful and professional!

I’m in the military and our regulations extended to allow more “modern” colors. I absolutely love this color and think it looks extremely professional! I usually apply one coat and I’m OBSESSED with the coverage!

Perfect nude for light brown skin

I am half white half black, and this is the perfect pink nude color for my skin tone. It’s subtle but still noticeable. A perfect mix between pink and nude.

yes, I recommend this product.

Lasts forever!

5 years ago
I started using this nail polish about six months ago. How I have been able to keep my manicure fresh looking is in the application. I apply a clear base coat. After it has dried for a couple hours I followed by a thin first coat of color. I allow about 4-6 hours for first color coat to dry before applying the second coat of color. Allow second coat of color several hours to dry before finishing with clear top coat. Remember to cover nail tips with all coats as well as underneath the nail when applying clear base and top coats. Using this application method my nail job lasts at least two weeks before I redo it.

yes, I recommend this product.

Amazing Color!!

5 years ago
Dang COVID! Couldn’t find my usual shade in the store, Sheer Silhouette, because shipments are still sporadic. So, I found Bare With Me which is pretty darn close. I LOVE it. Two coats and I was good to go. A bit more pink than Sheer Silhouette but not by much. Goes with everything you can possibly wear without clashing. Looks classy, has your nails looking well groomed, and you look put together. Especially great for daily wear, but also great for that night out too. Last a week and I do a lot of stuff with hands.

yes, I recommend this product.

Great Color, Poor Quality

6 years ago
After purchasing this bottle of GOREGEOUS polish from a such a reputable brand, I was so excited to apply. The color is phenomenal, however the next day I washed dishes and my nails were ruined. Essie colors that I purchased even back 6 years ago I remember lasting so much longer. Has the formula changed? Highly upset that I have to re-paint every day - don't want to quit since the color is stunning, and I'm stuck in quarantine (for a good reason, I promise) so I can't go out again to get a new brand.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing quality

I can’t say enough about this nail polish. Not only is the color a great nude for the winter months, the quality is incredible. It has such a professional, high gloss look that dries quickly and lasts for days. Plus, it has my favorite rounded brush for easy application.

yes, I recommend this product.

Hi there Melissa! Thank you for sharing your experience with the shade "mooning". We want to understand what happened just as much as you do...This light shadowy blue gray, like all essie colors should go on easily and color should look perfect by the second coat.

smooth and long lasting

The nail polish color is really nice. However, I think all Essie nail polish chip very easily.

This Essie Wild nail polish is the perfect shade of nude. However, it takes multiple coats before it really looks good. I used 4 coats of nail polish before it was not opaque anymore. So besides the time it took to let all the coats dry it was a long lasting nail polish.

Hi there Maddie! Thanks for sharing some personal feedback with us on our wild nude polish. After you’ve painted a base coat, two coats of polish, and a top coat, you should sit for about 15 minutes to dry your nails. The perfect drying time could vary based on environmental factors like temperature and humidity, so a fan may be helpful in warmer, wetter climates. Although your nails will feel dry after this time, note that your nails are not completely dry for 2-3 hours after painting, so refrain from activities that could smudge your manicure in that time. One coat of polish takes about 30 to 60 seconds to dry. We hope this information is helpful!

I really like Essie polishes. Im wearing this color right now and have received many compliments. It does on easy and not streaky and only took two coats to finish off. Its been over a week and it still looks great

Lovely color. Went well with my prom dress that I wore on Saturday. More expensive than say Wet n Wild but the quality is better. I personally would improve the wear time started peeling around the edges all ready.

Everytime I use an Essie nail polish, it never goes well! Its very slow to dry and not like a lot of products I know. OPI is my favorite - always smooth and quick!

I recently bought this nail polish and omg I feel in love! I haven't use one in forever so i didn't remember how they worked. But it dries super fast and leave your nails looking pretty. They are a bit on the expensive side.

Hi there! So great to hear you love the color but were having a hard time getting it to dry down. Try using our speed.setter on top! This high performance top coat dries in under a minute, and works with any essie enamel polish for an ultra-shiny finish! Want the perfect essie manicure? Choose from our base coats and apply 1 coat. apply 2 coats of your favorite essie enamel and finish one of our essie top coats. We hope this is helpful!

I love this brand of nail polish so much! I've been using it for a few years now. It stands up to normal wear, and always has such a nice finish (even after the week of wear!). I'd definitely buy again, because I buy a new color every few weeks.
