    this is a very good nail polish and a beautifull fall/winter color....the formula is a little bit runny but you can easily work with it

    This nail polish chipped on me within 1 hour of wearing! I had the Essie base coat, two coats of Bahama Mama and Seche Vite top coat and it chipped while I was doing nothing! This nail polish is a...

    Not a good color on me - was much much darker than the picture implies - it looked like blood on my fingers - so disappointed, it looked really pretty in the bottle. I think it would be more...

    I only wear this color on my toes, and it's my absolute HG. I've been wearing this color regularly for two years I love it that much. I do my own detailed pedicures at home because I'm picky...

    I am pretty dissapointed by this. Been testing it out for the last weeks/month, and it chips pretty easily (even with topcoat..) It is not especially opaque either, and i feel i need 3 coats,...

    Lovely autumnal nail polish, very little to fault. Goes on beautifully, dries quickly and lasts so well! I absolutely adore the colour for this time year, a gorgeous deep wine colour: dark without...

    The color in the bottle in a misrepresentation of how dark this actually comes out. My biggest other complaint is that it came out gloopy and did not dry to a glossy finish even though I did not...

    Since Essie introduced their nail polishes in to British Boots with a new formula and an improved brush, it seriously became my favourite nail polish brand. Eat your heart out Chanel. This is a...

    The color of this polish is gorgeous. However, it was a hot streaky mess to apply. I have many Essies in my collection and have loved each and every one of them, dark and light varieties. My dark...

    Grape jelly describes the color perfectly. On my super-pale skin it is much too dark. I didn't have issues with the application as other reviewers had, but it is waaaayyyyyy too dark for my liking.

    Normally I like Essie nail polishes and they last good 5 days on me. This one, however, was a disappointment. Even though I loved the color, the texture was way too runny and difficult to apply....

    This took 3 coats to get it on without streaks and opaque. I love Essie polishes in general, the brush being small works for me. I only wish they would make a flat brush, it would make it easier...

    Such an amazing colour for all skin tones! Great staying-power. You may have to apply several layers to get full opacity and the desired result, though. First time ever that I try an Essie...

    I love this color! I feel very sophisticated when I wear it. I like how it's not a regular dark red color, it's definitely a purple-magenta color that is a little bit different. It dries very...

    As other reviewers, I was mislead by the colour in the bottle, which looks more like a blue-based plum. On the nail, does look like grape jelly, with a very shiny, jelly finish. Not too streaky but...
