I absolutely love this blue color! It’s vibrant and eye catching. I also used nail stickers from Target to complete the look. I had people ask me where I got my nails done. At home! It’s been over a week now and they have barely chipped.

Very watery and see through. Three coats and can still see through to nails. Looks pretty bad. In contrast with OPI I can do one coat just fine.
gets murky after 1 day, looks rotted after 3 rip

This polish is a nice, subtle, yet flattering shade of pink, but it becomes darker as time goes on. I thought it was just the dry-down color, but no? It just kept getting darker and eventually I just took it off. I wear gloves when I wash dishes, so it’s gotta just be a weird formula thing reacting to me washing my hands. I will keep the shade but I had higher expectations bc I’ve never had an Essie polish do me dirty like this 😭

Hi! We are so sorry to hear of your experience with our Eternal Optimist shade polish. To help your manicure last longer, we recommend the following: Wipe nails clean with remover before painting a base coat and then thin coats of polish. Wait 1-2 minutes between coats for it to dry. Finish with a topcoat and make sure to cap the edges on every coat! for any issues. We hope this helps!

This is my favorite polish color. Wish it dried faster, but it’s a nice deep, black-burgundy. Application is smooth, but needs 2+ coats. Has not stained my nails.
My favorite!!

My favorite color, used it year round on my toenails. Have tried lighter and darker similar colors but nothing compares to this one. Please bring back this 'retired' Splash of Grenadine!

this shade is beautiful. a little too much pink for me...i used to own a salon and loved ESSIE products. There was a shade called SUNSET I think. absolutely gorgeous! I could hardly keep it in stock. one the client wore it she wanted to buy it~~ it was kind of the shade of a ripe tomato but not a RED. Do you have this ??? this was in the 80's-90's.
Good color.

Peels off way too easily. I noticed a piece had come off. Luckily, I found it before my dog did.
Slow to dry

I got the shade Hi Maintenance, it’s sheer and feels lightweight. Pretty color, does take a few coats to look nice though. Easy application, not so gloppy like OPI. Good price BUT the three stars is for how slow it is to dry 😞 even under a nail dryer
decent price and lasting nailpoish

I just love the PInk Birthday girl color and it goes on my nails very easy. The nail polish last a good amount of time and is easy to remove. I will stick with Essie

Essie nailpoiish is a little on the expensive side but in the long run is worth it. I feel that it doesn't wear off as fast as the cheaper polishes. I love the darker colors for the winter.
Perfect “naked but better” nails

I love the new color. I have very pale, cool toned skin and it’s perfect. The other nudes are either too white/tan or too sheer or not sheer enough, and this is the only one that makes my nails look “naked, but better.”
