This was the first Essie nail polish I ever bought.I have to be honest, when I first discovered this brand I wasn't impressed by the color range.I took me a while before buying anything from them. But when I was at Walmart and I saw that there was a sale on Essie nail polishes I thought I could give it a try. Normaly where I lived they are 9$, with the sale they were only 7,50.$ So I bought this color, which is a really dark blue, because it was the only one that catched my eyes at that time.Well, I fell in love.I was suprised by the size of the brush, since I'm used to bigger one I was kind of scared to use it. But actualy it was really easy to use and helped me to get a precise application. The formula was really smooth and applied with ease. The nail polish wasn't fully opaque, it needed two coats to look like the color in the bottle. It dried really quickly between each coats, maybe a minute for each, so it wasn't bad at all. But what made me really love this nail polish is the wear time, without a top and base coat it wore for an entire week. To say the least I was impressed. This spontaneous purchase ended up to make me enjoy a brand I thought I never would...This is why I really recomend each and everyone of you to try atleast one nail polish from Essie, atleast After School Boy Blazer because this one is truly amazing.I'll it buy again for sure!
