After a few uses the brush is constantly separating from the lid, and getting stuck in the bottle when I open it. It also chips very quickly in comparison to the Sally Hansen polishes I've used.

Newmommy - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
I strongly dislike this nail polish. It is sheer, requires many coats and it paint streaky so not even one coat works on your nail. It requires many coats and doesn’t dry so after washing your hand or within one dish wash they are totally destroyed. Thai is not worth the price at all.
1 reply from Essie Team team - 18 days ago
Hi Newmommy! Thanks for reaching out to us regarding Essie Nail Polish. We can understand how frustrating it is to look forward to a new product and not get the expected results. We're sorry to hear that the results were streaky. It may help to use a base coat if you have not tried to do so already. We will share your comments with our teams.

I love the shade and the shimmery iridescence of the color. However, it’s translucent that you need about 3 coats.

Sen - 23 days ago, Verified purchaser
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
1 reply from Essie Team team - 19 days ago
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

Alice - 26 days ago, Verified purchaser
Usually love Essie nail polish, but bed rock & roll applies a bit streaky. With the other colors I've tried I can get away with a single coat, but this one needs multiple coats to look good. The color is nice though and extra coats aren't a deal breaker for me.

Rthax - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
Darling color!!! I did put on 3 coats and a top Essie “stay longer” top coat. It doesn’t have the cleanest application so I played around with it a little bit. The color did not go on thin and nice like regular Essie polish but I think that happens with “whites”. It’s only been a day so I can’t say how long it stays on, normally I paint my nails every 7 days. I did let me nails dry for 3 hours before doing anything.
