I Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Midninght Encore Shade by essie has a Gorgeous sparkly purple color that really stand out under the light . The application was super easy thanks to the brush ,and fully covered .I loved that the polish dried fairly quickly and had a shiny , elegant finish . The wear time was also impressive without chipping to fast

Disappointed
Essie Muchi Mushi Pretty color in the bottle gets darker after two coats, which is required as it’s thick but very streaky. It seems like the polish is old. I used to like Essie, but not recently. I’m taking back to Target!

Ballet slipper looks like white on my nails
Doesn't read as pink at all. Thin so looks streaky even after 2 coats, If you want a streaky white you might like it, otherwise no.

Soft natural nail polish
Very popular color because it is a neutral. It is a lighter color than your nail bed so has an opaque finish. Easy to apply.

Streaky Mess
This polish was streaky mess. I was hoping for a nice pink sheen, so was very disappointed.

Horrible
I cannot get the polish off my nails, very upset!! I called Esse and was told to soak each nail for 15 minutes. We shall see.

Hi there! We are sad to hear that you had issues taking the Polish in the shade Ballet Slippers and that it was hard to remove. For best results, we advise that you soak each nail in remover for 10 to 15 minutes to get this polish off. We hope that you continue to try and use our products with satisfaction in the future.

Streaky
Very clean color, streaky especially with an unsteady hand.

Pass
Ive used this a few times now and I’m not a fan. I have to apply this like three times to get it opaque otherwise it’s so streaky. The color is pretty but after applying multiple layers it looks terrible. I would not recommend. The Ella and Mila brand is better for you and applies more beautifully

Hi Sen, We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This luscious pink nail enamel with a kiss of mauve has a cream/ opaque finish. Like all of our nail enamels, the color should be perfect by the second coat. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Smooth, even coverage
Great coverage and colors. This polish goes on so smooth. Could probably get away with just one coat if you’re in a rush.
