Finally a product that made want to write a review
Ok, so I always get chipped nails. Like ALWAYS. Apparently I have really oily nails. Go figure! Even my gel nails get chipped if the salons do not follow certain steps to really remove any excess oil from my nails (though I must admit that Essie Gels never got chipped - but not all salons can affor...

Chips on fifth day
Pretty color, great brush, but it didn't last anywhere near 14 days. Also it's shrunk so much anyway from the cuticle and the tips I couldn't wear it much longer even if it didn't chip. I did wash some dishes so I didn't expect it to last 14 days but expected more than 4.

Really great nail polish!! I'm impressed
Putting a 4/5 review is amazing enough bc I have never been satisfied with ANY nail polish brand, but Essie Longwear has been the best I tried!! Good formula, lasts a lot longer compared to other brands, and I only notice tiny chips after 3 days.
Nice
I'm always a fan of (Essie) brand nail polish. I am confident to say that this is one of the best nail polish brand out there. This new Shade is perfect for summer and I really like the color light scent and it's very quick to get dry. Essie never disappoint me it will always going to be my favorite brand .
Beautiful pale neutral pink polish
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] As someone who likes neutral, subtle nail polish colors, I really liked how beautiful and natural "Gossamer Garments" was! This color is definitely wearable on its own if you want a simple, elegant pale pink, but it's also a nice base for French Manicures or a shimmery/chrome finish. You'll need a few layers to completely cover the nail, but the polish dries nicely and doesn't clump.
Must have neutral pink polish
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Absolutely in love with this shade! This is such a pretty color, and it's perfect for a natural look. I can wear it as a sheer nude look or layer it on for a more pretty and playful vibe 🫶🏻 it works great as a base also 🥰 -shade 49 Gossamer Garments
Natural effect on my nails
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I like the natural effect it gives to my nails, it's a translucent color, I love the nail polish brush because it's round and easy to apply, drying is normal
