So happy to be able to get this color. It has been discontinued

I wanted a red that was dark and crimson, but also not so dark that it just looked like another black polish. I have very fair skin tone and sometimes when I wrote dark reds, I would get compliments such as "Nice black polish! A little too dark for the occasion, no?"This is when Macks comes in!It isn't bright like Essie A List, Apertif, Forever Yummy, Happy Wife Happy Life (and the list goes on) and provides a lovely deep red color. It also isn't Essie Bordeaux nor Shearling Darling which are very deep, dark black reds. Macks is the perfect shade of dark ruby red, in between all those colors; application is also easy!

Essie Macks is my all-time #1 favorite red polish, it is so perfect and gorgeous and sexy. I get so many compliments whenever I wear it.This is a darker shade of blue-toned red, but it doesn't cross over into vampy territory. It's just a very bold, vivid, saturated red creme. The color is absolutely to die for. Excellent formula too. Opaque in two coats and no problems with application or wear.I honestly don't know why this color isn't more well-known, it really is so GOOD.I just love this one so much! It's my HG red. Would buy it again and again. Recommended!

Da Bush is a milky light green that is fairly streaky. Like most Essie Nail polishes, it takes me three coats to get to the opacity that I want. However, compared to my pale skin, this nail polish just did not do it for me. It was good to try to know it didn't match me. Maybe on darker/tan skin, it would look nicer!

Not a nail polish I wear very often. Even in the summer I don't wear it that much. The color in the bottle caught my eye but with my pale skin it just isn't flattering. It makes my nails look like I have a lack of oxygen. Colour application is quite streaky and spotty, and you have to apply 2-3 coats to get anything that looks half decent. Within 2 days my nails have chipped. Won't buy this colour again.
