Midnight Cami is a very popular Essie polish but I just don't love it.

Midnight Cami is a very popular Essie polish but I just don't love it. The colour itself is very pretty but I have issues with the formula. Firstly, the colour is a deep, blackened navy shimmer. It looks black in dim lighting and a beautiful glowy blue in brighter lighting and sunlight. It is very pretty. The formula applies easily, it was a little runnier than my other Essie polishes. I only needed two coats to reach full opacity. It applied without streaks or bald patches, though I definitely recommend using thin coats in order to have greater control of the polish. It dries to a slightly dull finish so I highly recommend using topcoat for shine. The polish only wore nicely for 2 days before chipping when paired with base and top coat. I find this unacceptable when I can usually get 5 days from an Essie mani. It also stained like crazy, even with two coats of base coat underneath. It stained my nails, cuticles and skin. I had to use quite a lot of remover on my nails (which is very drying for the nails) and then follow up with soap and water. It takes a few days for all traces of blue to fade. The staining issue and wear time are the main reasons I do not recommend this polish.

This is a dark blue/black that looks black on my nails and that's not what I wanted.

This is a dark blue/black that looks black on my nails and that's not what I wanted. I was hoping for the blue to show up more but that's not so; I actually prefer Bell Bottom Blues because that polish looks like a blue/black on my nails. I agree with the other comments that Midnight Cami does stain the nails and can be a bit watery too. It's not one of Essie's best colours. I suggest Bell Bottom Blues or After School Boy Blazer for a blue/black polish.

I was disappointed by Midnight Cami.

I was disappointed by Midnight Cami. It looks so different on the nail. I was looking for a dark, shimmery blue/purple with lots of dimension. Instead, Midnight Cami looks basically like a regular black under regular lighting.It's a nice colour, applies well in two coats and holds up just fine... it's just not what I wanted. Also, it stains like a mofo.

This is a beautiful blue-black.

This is a beautiful blue-black. But when you wear it it looks different from how it looks in the bottle. In the bottle it looks navy and shines a clear blue when it catches the light. I bought it thinking it would look similar when worn on my nails. But when you wear it, it's just a deep, blueish black. There's no multidimensional colour thing going on. The creamy formula goes on nicely but floods skin and cuticles; I spent ages cleaning around the side of my nails with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover and it didn't really work. In the end I just had to pick off the extra bits of nail polish from my cuticles while standing in the shower, which I don't think is very good for your skin.Stains when removed from nails but it's alright if you use it with a base coat. Doesn't chip for a couple of days at least, no dreaded sheet marks in the morning (I use 2 coats, with OPI Start to Finish base coat and Seche Vite top coat). I have short nails and use my hands a lot, but this nail polish has held up well.

I love this polish and hate it at the same time.

I love this polish and hate it at the same time. I love navy blues and this color is super pretty. The shimmer that runs through it makes it even prettier, but the formula just isn't the best. I find that I need to use 2 medium thick coats for it to apply nicely and it stains my nails like crazy! When I take this polish off, my fingers look like smurfs lol. Luckily I found online that scrubbing with a nail brush and whitening toothpaste takes the stain off and it works! Overall it's a pretty polish.
