    My first Essie nail polish. I never really want to spend a lot of money on nail polish because I feel like Rimmel polishes or Wet n' Wild polishes do just as well. This formula is really different...

    Chinchilly is a really pretty, muted warm grey creme. This is what I would instantly describe as a "soft" color. Depending on your skin tone and the lighting, I notice this color's undertones tend...

    I love this perfect gray! The formula is easy to apply. Perfectly opaque in 2 coats. Its a staple in my nail polish collection.

    I love this shade. I have to use three coats of polish but it goes on well. It's a great shade to wear year-round and compliments a lot of skin tones.

    essie's formula really varies within their colors; some polishes wear and apply horribly, while others apply beautifully and stick around forever. this is definitely the latter of the formulas, ive...

    This is a beautiful neutral grey color. It is a matte grey with lavender undertones. Very nice.

    This is a beautiful shade. Such a simple colour (pure grey!) but on the nails it's chic and classy. Works for a professional setting and everyday casual outfits or nights out. Truly versatile - the...

    The best grey shade ever. I love everything about it. Grey is not 'pure' grey, it has some beige in it (maybe not when you look at it alone but when you compare Chinchilly to other grey shades...

    I really had high expectations with this nail polish after reading such great reviews here and elsewhere. Seemed to apply streaky and really showed it up until the third coat. Dried fairly quickly....

    I fell in love with gray nail polish ever since I tried one on from MAC a few years ago. However, it was a bit pricey and I tried to search for a more affordable alternative and none came close but...

    This colour is so beautiful. It will go on really thin, very subtle, or a few coats make it quite outstanding. A lovely grey, really unusual. Lasts very well too, and I seem to do a lot of...

    The best gray polish I've tried. It's a very true gray, it doesn't have purple or green undertones. It's been really hard for me to find a gray polish that wasn't too mauve or too green, but this...

    I've had this for a while and forgotten how beautiful it is. Nice grey-ish brown with some purpley hue to it. Very chic. In fact, it reminds me of a lighter Metro Chic from OPI.

    I think Chinchilly is meant to be a grey with a tinge of green/lilac running through it. However on me its just a flat grey. I initially bought it as I thought it showed up a little duochromatic in...

    This is the perfect gray polish. I'm not a huge nail polish person, but have totally been into the gray craze. I wasn't too impressed by all the purple-taupe and slate shades out there (Sally...

    Full disclosure: I love Essie! This is one of my favorite colors, it is a beautiful gray-lilac and I find it to be the perfect neutral, alternative to light pinky, nude shades. Great for the work...

    First things first: I hate Essie's packaging because it's NEVER an accurate portrayal of the color inside. It usually ends up being a couple of shades darker with a different hue to it. OPI breaks...

    LOVE this lilac-tinged grey! It looks so so chic on my short nails. In many lights it is a solid grey, especially if you do three layers (two can be a touch more transparent and lilac). Some lights...
