Q: Why are the pictures not matching up with the essie nail colors? For example, "Clothing Optional" is supposed to be a rosey color but it shows up as gray. Want to make sure I'm ordering what I need.

submitted by kfern - 7 years ago
  • A: yes i ordered the purple and mine was dark dark purple

    submitted bygiginails - 5 years ago
  • A: I'm not sure why it doesn't match up. The color I received was sage/ grey not teal at all.

    submitted byJamie - 6 years ago
  • A: I ordered Go Ginza-a nice light purple, I got Go Ginza a super pale lilac-almost white!!! so sad. I'm returning for the Play date-which looks a bit dark, but it should be perfect cuz they seem much lighter in person.

    Very watery and see through. Three coats and can still see through to nails. Looks pretty bad. In contrast with OPI I can do one coat just fine.

    Rocqueporte - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
    This polish is a nice, subtle, yet flattering shade of pink, but it becomes darker as time goes on. I thought it was just the dry-down color, but no? It just kept getting darker and eventually I just took it off. I wear gloves when I wash dishes, so it’s gotta just be a weird formula thing reacting to me washing my hands. I will keep the shade but I had higher expectations bc I’ve never had an Essie polish do me dirty like this 😭

    Hi! We are so sorry to hear of your experience with our Eternal Optimist shade polish. To help your manicure last longer, we recommend the following: Wipe nails clean with remover before painting a base coat and then thin coats of polish. Wait 1-2 minutes between coats for it to dry. Finish with a topcoat and make sure to cap the edges on every coat! for any issues. We hope this helps!

    This is my favorite polish color. Wish it dried faster, but it’s a nice deep, black-burgundy. Application is smooth, but needs 2+ coats. Has not stained my nails.

    Very thin coverage

    Andreainco - 22 days ago
    originally posted on essie.com
    This is a beautiful color it deserves a five star for that but it is very thin. If you are looking for a sheer look you will like this color. You will need three coats of this polish to not have full coverage. That also increases drying times and more likely smudges.

    this shade is beautiful. a little too much pink for me...i used to own a salon and loved ESSIE products. There was a shade called SUNSET I think. absolutely gorgeous! I could hardly keep it in stock. one the client wore it she wanted to buy it~~ it was kind of the shade of a ripe tomato but not a RED. Do you have this ??? this was in the 80's-90's.

    I am a long-time user of Essie products and was very excited to use this blue Butler Please. I had seen other reviews on-line about how other users had problems with it chipping right away, but had no concerns. Until I used it. I applied it and even used a Top Coat. However within just a couple hours of normal activity, it was already chipping off. Super bummed out because I love the color but can't trust that it will stay on for any length of time. (Even with a Top Coat.)

    I got the shade Hi Maintenance, it’s sheer and feels lightweight. Pretty color, does take a few coats to look nice though. Easy application, not so gloppy like OPI. Good price BUT the three stars is for how slow it is to dry 😞 even under a nail dryer
