    The colors are pretty…but this definitely did not dry quickly for me. Several minutes (10+) after applying, they were still gummy and got smudged and I had to paint all over.

    I feel duped! Nowhere on the bottle, lid or display did it mention that this was translucent. I bought it based on the shade sample on the display and that it was quick dry. This was a total waste of my money! I've purchased many other expressie and regular essie shades and have been happy with them but this one is pure disappointment!

    Chips quickly

    1 out of 5 stars
    miller92 - 3 months ago
    originally posted on essie.com
    Bought this color recently and it was BEAUTIFUL at first, but chipped horribly within a day. The polish peeled completely off one nail on day 2. Redid the manicure, and the same thing happened; most nails chipped a day later. For reference, I used the same base / top coat as always, and manicures usually last a week; there seems to be an issue with this specific shade. Tragic; it would be so pretty if it would stay on.

    I get where the poor reviews are coming from-- this shade is transparent and never really becomes opaque. But it's marketed as transparent, so I think this polish deserves 5 stars. It's such a gorgeous color and is perfect for a subtle nail. It also works well with my cool skin tone and gives my nails a healthy flush.

    The dark blue completely stained my nails!
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 4 months ago
    Hi there, we understand how disappointing that must be! Unfortunately, some people are more likely to experience staining from intensely pigmented polish shades like this deep navy. 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. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET
