Designated DJ is from Essie's 2017 Spring Collection.

Designated DJ is from Essie's 2017 Spring Collection. It is a very rich deep plum cream finish polish. To me such a dark polish for spring is counterintuitive, but to each their own. No matter the season this is a gorgeous polish.For me the polishes from this particular Essie collection are quite runny, but I learned my lession with B'aha Moment and applied very carefully wiping my brush several times for each nail to make sure that I didn't have too much on the brush to avoid flooding. That method worked well and in doing that application was easy. The texture was nice and it applied smoothly and evenly with no skipping. As my nails are short and this polish is so well pigmentated it was opaque in one coat. If you have longer nails you may need 2 coats to avoid VNL.Designated DJ comes packaged in Essie's standard polish bottle. I did note that the brush in that polish was thinner and smaller than I am used to using. That created no problems in application but I did have to take a few more brushstrokes. Not a big deal.Though a very pretty polish it isn't unique. There are several other polishes very close to this color in the OPI line. As I own several of them already I would not repurchase Designated DJ. I did get the entire Essie 2017 Spring on a fantastic Flash Deal through Skyline Beauty (NA) so the cost was around $3.25 for this bottle. You can find Essie online at various beauty supply stores for around $3.50 per bottle so I recommend you shop with one of those as opposed to paying retail somewhere else.UPDATE: I got good wear from this polish. Removal was easy and there was no staining.

Gorgeous!! But it's a 99% dupe of OPI's Kerry Blossom, if you have one you definitely don't need both. The Essie is a tiny bit darker and more saturated-looking, but you have to look really really closely to tell the difference.From their new Spring 2017 Collection, Essie's Designated DJ is a deep, vampy shade of burgundy-plum with a creme finish. It looks beautiful on the nail. A very flattering polish and a new favorite for me.Great formula as well. Opaque in two coats and no problems with application or wear. Excellent polish overall and I would definitely buy this one again.Recommended!

I love this polish so much! It's a lovely pearlescent light pink that takes you anywhere. I find I like two coats, I like the sheerness of it and just being able to see the white tips of my nails through it. However, if you like opaque then you would need three coats. I find that this colour lasts me at least a week if I combine with a base and top coat. It is very elegant looking, perfect for work where it wouldn't go down well if I turned up with bright colours!This is my HG polish for everyday.

From the bottle, Delicacy looks like just another sheer pink, but no the nail, it's actually a pearly pink with the slightest blue duo-chrome. Totally not what I was expecting. It's pretty, but unfortunately, the pearly-frosty finish gives it a bad case of the visible-brush-strokes. It also runs a little sheer, so I needed three coats for opacity. Overall, it looks rather classy, but I wouldn't buy again because I'm not fond of the finish.
