Color doesnt match
Ordered online and like other reviews, color isn’t even close. Purchased “mall crawler” which is in the pink category, but it’s very much a purple color. Disappointed and cannot return.

Perfect
I love love love this glittery dark pink! I was looking for for iridescent colors like the 29-You Do Blue (obsessed with that one). This one is more glitter but still has that bit of “color change” to it. Great for fall

very misleading
this cannot be the correct color?? it looks totally different and googling leads me to believe what i got is actually “in the time zone” with the wrong label. also it did not say it was sheer. the description says two coats but i could barely see color after two coats. also non refundable and a hassle to complain about because when you go to contact about the order it doesnt allow anything related to the polish since it is no. refundable.

Color is NOTHING like picture
Color is nothing like the picture. Do not purchase nail polish online because it’s non-refundable. Out the money for two muted Essie polishes that I’ll never use since they don’t match my dresses.

Love the speed and color
I love the speed of drying and the color. The color is close to my skin tone with a hint of pink. It’s a nice neutral. That means my less-than-perfect application and the inevitable chips that happen with all polishes don’t really show.

Bad formula
Horrible formula. It’s dries so fast you barely have time to finish painting your nail. Then it peels, clumps, pretty much everything you don’t want it to do. I just painted my nails today and literally have done no form of labor/work etc. and I look down and it’s chipped not even 2 hours later.

Pretty purple!
I needed a new purple, and let my 5 year old pick one out. It’s pretty, it’s fun, and it dries super quick.

Amazing Colour!
LOVE this colour! I do need 2 coats although one is suffice if I'm in a hurry. I am hard on my nails and I did find some chipping on day 2 but mst of the polish remained on my nails for a week - and yes, I intentia;y did not touch up to see how well it would last. There was no staining around my cuticle beds or nails as has happened ith other red shades. It is true to its colour from bottle to nail and holds up fairly well. Overall, it is a totl win for me!

Please don’t discontinue this color!!!
I absolutely love this polish! It builds wonderfully, if you do multiple coats to make it not so sheer, you’ll want to wait about 30 minutes between double applications. But you can build it without it creating bubbles! I’m sad that I’m not going to be able to buy it again! Mall crawler will be my next hoarded item.

Incorrect shade depiction
Color not what is depicted - Target page shows a vibrant bright blue, but what was shipped was a dull grayish blue.

Used
Would rate it higher if it wasn’t already used. Buying makeup and nail-polishes that are opened and covered in dried product is just annoying.

Decent, not amazing
I purchased “bring the beat”. The color is just “okay”. I had to apply 3 coats for it to completely cover my nail bed. The color is not as vibrant as I thought it would be. I prefer Sally Hansen Gel products (you get more product, it doesn’t chip after 1 day and I don’t have to apply 2 coats of nail color) but they don’t have a seafoam green shade. I tried this, since Essie products are good too. I’m disappointed.
