I usually look terrible with blue polish but this one is so flattering on my neutral NC20 skin tone. It's a very dark navy with a slight grey tone to it. Dark but not too dark. Lasts a few days without chipping. Can be streaky on the first coat but I 2 coats are sufficient enough for opaque coverage.

Pretty color...kind of a really dark blue with a hint if grey. Great for fall/ winter. Glides on pretty smooth and wears well. Nice change rather that super vampy dark. Not my top favorite but its a keeper I tend to like dark grey more that blue so I will stick to cashmere bathrobe which is a bit lighter and leans more grey.

I had been lemming this polish from the moment I had spotted it on pinterest. My friend and I had been stalking our local stores for when it would come into stock. However, just how when you're lemming a certain lipstick shade and you can find every other solitary color ever made by that brand but the one you want, I had no luck. Then I went to a local nail supply and was pawing through some on sale essie colors. It was like the sky had opened and the light had guided me directly to this polish. I was SO excited.It was a perfect color for fall, and I for the life of me could not find any color by any other brand that was this shade. I would call it a dark grey/blue. This color goes perfectly with my NW 20-25 skin. It doesn't look dirty or washed out, simply the perfect fall neutral color. Sadly the formula went on like absolute crap for me. It was streaky and I had trouble covering certain parts of my nail. The brush had a mind of its own! I own a ton of Essie polishes, and the formula normally isn't the greatest but this was far subpar. I wrapped my tips, and did two coats with a Seche topcoat. Nail are already chipping 12 hours later. Until I can find another polish that is anywhere near this shade, I will stick with it. But as soon as I do I will gladly get rid of this polish.

I'm a hard-core OPI fan, but Essie has been winning me over lately. The price of the polish is not cheap at $8 a bottle, but usually I can find deals and use coupons at Ulta. I love the bottle shape. Bobbing for baubles is a chic and sophisticated very, very dark navy with just a hint of grey and no purple undertones; it looks much darker on nails than in the bottle. It's a creme with no shimmer or glitter. Application is really smooth with no streaks at all~almost a one coater but I used two to make sure coverage was totally even, and dry time is fast. Gorgeous!!!

This is a very modern and wearable neutral steel blue navy shade not quite black and not as harsh as black but still definitely grey blue. A very weird shade but quite flattering on my warm yet super pale complexion this may clash with a rosy undertoned complexion and you may fare better with a brighter more true blue like Revlon's Royal for example which is gorgeous but looked terrible on my colouring.
