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.

Drys quickly while leaving a high shine look
I received this product in exchange for my honest review.The Gossamer Garments is a beautiful baby pink that glides smoothly onto the nail. It has a gel like finish without the need for UV. The polish feels very luxe and not cheap or tacky.
Not as happy as I'd hoped
Love the color and how long it lasted- nearly 2 weeks. The down side is that it left my nails stained orange after I took it off and you supposedly do not need base coat because "it's included." I'll try it with a base coat next time but if that doesn't work I'll be done with this Essie formulation for good.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My Nails Are Basically Jewelry Now Essie Metallic Gaze is like dipping your nails in liquid champagne with a dash of stardust. The shimmer is rich but not too flashy—just enough to make people ask, "What polish is that?" Application was a dream: smooth brush, no streaks, and full coverage in two coats. It dried quickly (perfect for impatient people like me) and didn't chip for over a week. It's one of those colors that works for brunch, boardrooms, and black-tie nights. Basically, it's my new "I've got my life together" nail shade.
I like this alot
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love this polish. I used it on my feet and it's such a pretty pink color. It dried well and even and went on extremely smooth. It was also very easy to get off and the scent was not over the top
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.
