Leggy Legend looks gorgeous in the bottle but leaves much to be desired on the nail. It is a deep golden shade with a copper undertone and pink-silver microshimmer in it. Firstly, when on my nail I did not find it to be flattering on my NC15 skin. It appeared to clash slightly (though this may be just my perspective as I was complimented on the colour a few times at work). Secondly, the staying power was not as good as I have come to expect from Essies. Leggy Legend only lasted 3 days before chipping. As Essie polishes usually last around 5 days on me, I was very disappointed. However, the formula itself is good, you could definitely reach full opacity in only one coat. It dries quickly and to a shiny finish, though I recommend topcoat to enhance the shimmer effect. I believe this would suit warmer skin tones than my own, and skintones which are deeper. However, this shade is not for me.

This is a gorgeous copper/burnt orange metallic polish. The formula is pretty decent although a little bit draggy on the first coat. I got a perfectly opaque color with two, and also no brush strokes. I've been wearing this for almost a week with just a base coat and no top coat, and I have very little chipping which is great. This is the first Essie polish I've tried and I'm pretty impressed, although I normally wouldn't pay their full price (I was lucky to find this for $2 at a local dollar store).

Beautiful!!! I love metallic nail polishes and Essie does them very well (Good as Gold, Blue Rhapsody, Nothing Else Metals, Penny Talk, No Place Like Chrome, and Beach Bum Blu are all favorites of mine). From their Fall 2015 Collection, Leggy Legend is a rich and shimmery golden-brown foil. Neutral but edgy too, it's a unique and flattering shade! I don't have anything else that looks like it.Excellent formula with this one too. Opaque in two coats and no problems with application or wear.I would definitely buy it again. Recommended!

Great polish! The color is very autumnal: a rich, muted copper with a soft, brushed metallic finish. I got full coverage with one coat. No streakiness or patchiness. You do have to be careful as your nails dry since you can get a wrinkly finish if you disturb the polish. I was pleasantly surprised by the durability. I've had it on my nails for over a week and it's still mostly in good shape. There's obviously tip wear, but the color is mostly intact. I guess Essie metallics have better wear than the sheer neutrals they're known for.

A nice brassy, bronze shade that's fully opaque with one coat. It's a truly unique shade. I don't have anything that closely resembles this shade in my extensive collection. Not really sure I would repurchase it.
