This polish is absolutely stunning, and with a great formula to boot. Truth Or Flare is a gorgeous shade of pale blue/grey with a creme finish. It is a unique shade in my collection, I have nothing quite like it. It would be closest to Essie Cocktail Bling, but Cocktail Bling is more grey. It looks flattering, chic and delicate on the nails and would suit all skin types, especially fairer skins. It has a creme finish, and reaches full opacity in two coats. It applies very easily, the first coat was a little patchy but it completely evened up with the second. It dried quickly and to a shiny finish. I got around 5 days wear from this polish, in line with my other Essie polishes. This shade is a truly gorgeous and unique shade, and while it is still fashionable it is sophisticated and neutral enough to pass in more conservative environments also. I would highly recommend this shade to anyone.

Great color but the formula isn't the best, so four lippies instead of five. Essie's Truth or Flare is a mellow shade of grey-tinged medium blue. Very pretty and flattering on the nail, but this is one of those Essie polishes with a thin, watery, and frustrating formula. It's a three-coater, but I like this shade of blue a lot. It's slightly dusty but still bright enough that it doesn't look dull. I have a lot of blues but none that are an exact dupe of this one. I'd buy it again.

This is from the 2014 Spring collection and one of my first Essie purchases.Its a pretty blue/grey, a lovely neutral ideal for the cooler months or all year around depending on your preferences. The colour is lovelyFormula is great, first coat is a little thin but it builds up beautifully on the second coat with no streaking. Very easy to apply and self levels nicely.Love it, nice neutral polish, blue enough not to be boring, grey enough not to give me lobster hands. Its an elegant professional colour. definitely going to be one i enjoy for many years.

I bought this polish when the collection came out. The first time i put it on i was disappointed because it was a jelly-like texture and it took 3 coats to cover my nail line. The formula, however, was fairly easy to work with. The end result is a squishy looking soft denim blue.. Let me tell you, this polish goes perfectly with your favorite pair of faded blue jeans. If you have the time for 3 coats and you like to rock the old, faded jeans.. this polish is a must in your collection. I see this polish as a winter/spring color, but i've also worn it on rainy summer or fall days. I have nothing like it in my large collection, so this color has become a favorite. The main down side would be the sheer, jellyish formula... but at the same time this gives the finish a depth and natural look that i really love. if you're a ripped up jeans, weekend kinda girl like me then you need this polish.

Found this at the dollar store for $3 whereas at the drugstore I find Essie polishes for $8.99 so great deal price wise for me. Also saw this at the L'oreal sale for a pretty decent price as well. I like the consistency of the polish, first application is very sheer and watery, but I appreciate it because it lets me build the colour up for a nice finish at the end. I think this is a great spring/summer colour and can't wait to wear it this year. The shade on my nails matches the colour seen in the bottle exactly. I think if somebody is into blue nail polishes this is a great, wearable addition to a collection.
