Essie Butler Please 0.5 oz - #819

Love Essie blues!

The colour is beautiful, a vivid cobalt blue cream. It dries to a satin/matte finish so if you want a glossy finish, use a topcoat. Eddie reformulated this one I think because mine wasn't terrible to work with. Opaque in two coats, relatively quick to dry, not the dreadful beast of the reviews below. That said, there are many dupes with better formulas: Sinful Colors Endless Blue, Nails Inc Baker Street, Revlon Wild Card, same colour, better formulas and cheaper. This is a nice polish all the same and I intend to keep it and enjoy it for many years to come

I'm pretty conflicted about this polish. I did not have issues with application at all like other reviewers have been talking about. However, I just put it on yesterday and it's already so chipped it looks like I have been keeping my polish on for a month. I have not been picking at it I would randomly notice a piece of it on the table, or I would look down at my hands and there were suddenly large chunks missing. Sometimes I pick at my nails, but only when it starts coming off by itself after a week or two. This polish seemed to literally fall off by itself within the first several hours of me wearing it. I considered giving it three stars because the chipping could be the fault of my base coat or top coat. However, that is unlikely, because I have been using both consistently with little to no issues, and they are both very popular and high-quality products. The color is lovely, a deep yet somehow electric blue. If you're going out for a couple of hours, it'd be amazing, but it would probably start chipping off by the end of the event. At least that's how it was for me.

The WORST formula of nail polish I have ever used. Butler Please goes on thick, which is in itself not a problem, but it drags on the nail, clumps, and actually pulls the nail polish already on the nail off as you apply. ARRRGH! And if you do manage to get the nail covered, it is goopy and uneven. Really regret buying this, but I do love the color (2 stars for that). If anyone knows of a similar blue with a better formula, please share/comment.

I just recently purchased this so I am reviewing the revamped formula. I understand the old formula was horrendous. The new one is great. It applies easily with no issues, 2 coats and its done. It's not too thick or thin.It's a beautiful cobalt blue that is intense. Sinful Colors Endless Blue is soooo close I can't tell them apart honestly. If you have one you don't need the other necessarily.
