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.

Pretty pink!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This shade is a beautiful shiny pink! However, I did notice that it takes a while to dry. You could probably find a similar shade elsewhere and get the same effect with better drying time.
Looks very pretty and natural
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This nail polish was such a beautiful soft shade of pink. It looks so natural on my nails and I would probably wear it on its own but since it came as a pack with a chrome top coat I only tested it that way. It dries fairly quickly and is easy to apply an even coat. When it comes to the longevity of it I can only assume it would start coming off just as fast or even faster as it did with the combination of this nail polish and the top coat, which was within a few hours. I am a mom and I'm constantly cooking and cleaning without gloves so I'm attributing this as the main cause as to why it started coming off so soon, so I'm guessing to someone who doesn't use their hands as much it might last longer.
Gorgeous color and easy application!
Essie's Gossamer Garments is part of a two step nail color duo. I love this baby pink color as it goes well with any outfit. It gives a natural light pink hue to your nails. I love how easy it is to apply and it dries off fast. It does not have a strong scent which makes the application even more easier. I love their packaging as it is very modern and stylish. For easy and beautiful manicures at home, always choose Essie!
Pretty color
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The formula goes on smoothly, and with just two coats, I get a nice even color. It dries fairly quickly and has a glossy finish that makes my nails look fresh and polished. Perfect for everyday wear or when you want something subtle but pretty.
Very cute color
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Very cute color. It goes well with any type of skin tone. I was also impressed with how smooth it went and the great coverage even with just 1 coat. It dries fairly quickly too!
