Oh how I love and adore Essie!! I went to my local Discem and bought 2 colours, one being grey and was really impressed as I'd never used the product before. They have the most fabulous and trendiest colours for every season. Currently I'm rocking the grey as its so hot right now. The application was very smooth and mess free. It lasted quite long when compared to the other nail polishes that I've used before, 2-3 days and there's some serious chipping. Essie is value for money and I'm a sold on it!
