        This is my go-to nailpolish

        11 years ago
        This nail polish color is so beutiful and it always stands out. Overall Essie products are always my favorite nail polish brand. Whenever I need a color to match my oufit I always look at the Essie nail polishes because it feels like they have every color in the world. Also they are so easy to apply and never chip.

        Yes, I recommend this product.

        The best red shade

        7 years ago
        This is one of the most beautiful red shades - it’s rich, it’s bold, it’s classic, it’s creamy, it’s the shade I can’t get enough of.

        Yes, I recommend this product.
