    I have several polishes from Essie, but Play Date is my favorite. It is this beautiful lilac-lavender shade that almost seems to have an "inner glow" if that is possible with a nail color. The...

    One of Essie's best. Unlike some of their shades, this is not watery and it's not streaky. I can easily achieve opacity, and the color is just so pretty. It looks great with a tan but it also works...

    The formula on Play Date is lovely! It dries quickly and reaches opacity in two coats with no streakiness. The colour is a bright lilac colour, which is not pastel but lighter than a true purple....

    Finally, an Essie polish I like! This one doesn't seem as thin or streaky as the paler neutral shades I've used. Instead, it a bright, rich, deep purple-orchid that I can't stop staring at. If...

    I like the color but as with many Essie polishes it is thin. I had to use three to four coats to achieve the color I was looking for. The reason I keep going back to Essie is the durability. I...

    I bought this hoping for a dupe of Sephora by OPI Iris I was Thinner, this is not quite it. It's a little lighter and a bit more "easter-ish" imo. That being said it's not a bad it's medium...

    Really liked this color! It's darker than a pastel, more of a light-medium shade of lilac/orchid, and 2 coats makes it opaque. I use this on my toes, and think a coral color on my fingers might...

    One of my favorite polishes ever. This color is just stunning. It's a gorgeous lilac/lavender color but not as pale. It's more orchid to me. Very much the color of the year and looks great for...

    This is a lovely light shade of purple. Great for the spring. It looks similar to OPI's Do you Lilac it? but not too similar. Took 3 shades to get the streaks out. But overall a very easy...

    This is a really pretty purple. I needed two layers, but added a third just to see if it made a difference (it didn't, really). The colour is almost calming to look at, and I think it's becoming...

    Love this color, got it on Amazon for $5 rather than $8.50 at the store near me. It goes on smooth, but you need two coats to get the true color. I'm new to Essie coming from OPI, and 3 bottles...

    A nice, slightly more pigmented than pastel-purple. It applied well, almost opaque with 1 coat for the most part. But a did 1 or 2 more, just in case. I really like how it looks, and it lasted...

    I love Essie's colors but most of their pastels apply streaky for me. I bought Play Date in my quest to get a pastel with a lot of white in its base that I could apply without looking like I'd...

    So I just purchased this product today and so far I am impressed. If you are like me, you absolutely can't stand polish that you have to add two or three coats to in order to get the color that is...

    FAVORITE! You get a lot of coverage in one coat, it dries quick. It's not streaky, and there's no bubbles!! It's one of my favorite pastels. I paired it with seche base and top and a lot of people...

    Cute but very elegant lavendar. To me, a unique shade but still wearable in most situations. Doesn't chip for awhile, dries fast, easy to use and buildable pigment.
