This is by far the longest lasting nail polish I have ever used.

I love nail polish, but it seems that whenever I use it, within a day it is chipped. I have been given professional manicures as a gift several times as well, and each time, I get a chip or a smudge within 24 hours.

Recently, I picked up Essie at my local store because it was on sale, and I liked the ballet slipper color. When I got it home and applied it, I realized that it goes on nearly clear. I put it on Friday to try out the color, thinking I would redo it for a wedding on Saturday. To my surprise, it looked fresh on Saturday. I have now had the polish on for 5 days, and there is not a single chip, even though I have been doing cleaning, gardening, etc. I have a job interview today, and it seems pointless to redo my nails because the 5 day old manicure is absolutely perfect! I will certainly buy Essie again!

I love the Ballet Slipper shade. It looks very natural and neat. At times, it's streaks a bit, thus why I didn't give it 5 stars. Great color!

It lasted a long time before it chipped but its drys very fast so you have to hurry putting it on.

This shade has been a super star favorite for many years and here it is at a reduced price, perfect for touch-ups! "Buy two, they're small."

I love the Essie brand (it is up there with O.P.I) and this color is perfect. Matches everything and is pretty subtle when I dont feel like standing out. Doesnt chip! Goes on smooth.

I fell in love with essie products after trying their matte about you. I was really excited to try this color. The application seems really weird because it seems really thin, and the brush seems to hard. You cannot apply with more than 1 stroke per area without causing ridiculous streaks. It does not perform like other essie nail polishes.

Like I said the color is wonderful, the application is rough.

I purchased this product recently. Seller got it to me quickly. I am very pleased with the color. Can wear this year round.

I love Essie polish but this one just doesn't live up to expectations. It doesn't have very good coverage and needs at least three coats to look like the color in the bottle.

Nail polish was exactly as described - and arrived even earlier than expected - prompt and correct - very happy with it.
