        adds a pop to your outfit

        11 years ago
        I first started using Essie two years ago. Compared to what I use to buy it was very expensive. Only being a junior in high school, I have to buy not only buy my clothes, accessories, shoes, food, and other misciellance items, I would also have to help my parents pay for other essential needs. At first when we went broke, I only bought cheap nail polish so I could get more than one nail polish. But then I would have to put on more coats and yet it was still chipping. Now that I'm using Essie I find that I only have to put two coats on with a t op coat and it could last me about 5-6 days than only 2 days with the cheap brands. Although it's more expsensive, Essie is the right way to go and is worth the money!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        Hands DOWN best red EVER!

        9 years ago
        I am OBESSED red nails because they make me happy and I think wearing red is chic. This polish is a dream! It's easy to apply..on the creamy side. I'm VERY partial to ESSIE--I think they make the best variety of polishes especially REDS and PINKS. The undertone is perfect for my skin..as a woman of color--and vibrant reds looks better on me than ol'school bluer reds. Like REALLY RED is blue based and looks blah on me but LACQUERED UP POPS! I like that it can be worn ALL year round. I think it's a perfect transition into the winter...as I will eventually go into my ESSIE winter favorite WICKED which rules. Then around February I'll go back into this color and during the summer I alternate between this color and LIMOSCENE ---but the pinker version. You have to try this...you won't be sorry....I get so many compliments.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        All-time favorite!

        6 years ago
        Love Love Love this color - Lacquered Up. It's my favorite summer color and/or year-round on my toes. Others I've liked...Forever Yummy (great for holiday and winter), Alligator Purse (Fall), Peach Daiquiri (Spring) and have done With the Band too. BUT, I continually come back to Lacquered Up as my favorite, that I feel the best in. Note: I am a strawberry blonde, fair. Oh, I've liked Hi Maintenance or Mademoiselle for my hands.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        So hot! - just perfect!

        11 years ago
        My boyfriend bought me this and I was like "oh wow, that's a great red" i really liked it from the beginning... But when you lacquere it... It's soo amazing! The first layer fits perfectly well (so intensive!) and its shiny glowy finish is quite perfect! I totally would recommend it. Its edgy, noble, classy, also sporty and rocky!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        The Best Red Out There

        11 years ago
        Perfect red - not too blue and not too orange. Goes on like a dream. My favorite Essie color and I have about 50 bottles of Essie! Wish I could find a lipstick in the same color!

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        best red ever!!

        11 years ago
        This is my "go to goodie". It is the best red for all skin shades. I wear it in the summer with my tan, and it is a great pop of color in the cooler months of Autumn.

        Yes, I recommend this product.
