I noticed the majority of the positive reviews are from a product promotion. Here’s a review from someone who didn’t get this for free: don’t waste your money, or at least not on the Cosmic Chrome color. It chips within a day, with or without a base/top coat, whether I wear it alone or layer it on top of another color. I an being generous by rating it 2 stars because the effect is actually really pretty and the formula goes on smoothly and streak-free. Other than that, do not ruin a good manicure with this polish that’s more sensitive than an eggshell.

Nice!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I let my daughter put down a white base coat layer and then she did 2 layers of the blue. I like it, it is nice. I wish it was a bit more blue and a bit less transparent. It has a nice sparkle/glitter to it though!

Essie “Bikini Snapped” My Girlfriend Tested It… an
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I didn’t try this one myself …but I did let my girlfriend borrow Essie’s “Bikini Snapped,” and the verdict is in: she’s absolutely in love with it. Her take on the color: A bright, sun-kissed coral with the prettiest shimmer. She said it’s the kind of shade that instantly makes your hands look more tan, more polished, more “vacation-ready.” Safe to say, I noticed too.

Of the three colors this was the least favorite.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wife wasn’t to big on this particular color. Definitely was her last choice when she used the three colors. It didn’t have much of a scent. And dry time wasn’t to long but still not her favorite one.

Adds a gorgeous pink shimmer to any manicure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Astral aura is the perfect name for this nail polish because this special effects top coat adds the most magical effect to any nails. Especially over pink nails, this top coat adds this extra wow effect that I’m obsessed with. The nail polish dries very quickly, it took around 2 minutes to dry and my favorite part is that it actually is very chip resistant! I used it on top of a layer of a plain pink polish from essie and it lasted a full week before chipping which is 2x as much as any other brand I tried. The top coat has beautiful shimmers of pink and red in it, and it looks amazing as it glitters in the light. Overall, this top coat is so easy to use and instantly amplifies any plain nail polish to something looking magical!

Gorgeous and magical shimmery special effects top
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most ethereal and gorgeous top coat i’ve ever tried! I LOVE the gorgeous blue and purple hues, as the sun hits my nails it lets off the most gorgeous color ever. The small pieces of shimmer glitter in the light and add such a fun layer of extra magic to all your nails. I put on only one layer of ethereal escape to my blue nails and it instantly elevated the look. The nail polish dries so quickly and only needs one layer to look wonderful! I tried putting multiple layers and it ended up looking multi-dimensional and amazing. It dries super quickly, and I felt as if my nails were much more chip resistant throughout the week. This regular manicure lasted over a week with no chips! Overall a great special effect top coat

Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My favorite nail polish! I like that the color is like a color shifting of pink & yellow. It can be applied by itself or layered. The packaging is nice as well. The scent smells like nail polish, but not a strong scent. It dries quickly with a top & base coat!

Cute shimmery duochrome topcoat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shade to me feels like the grown up version of the fun glittery top coats I used to wear with huge chunks of glitter in my early 20’s. But more subtle and refined. I love the blue pink reflects! You can layer this and amp up the coverage of the sparkle and shine - I used flash to try to show that here. Left is 1 coat & right is 2. Texture and application was great. Dried quickly!

Faster drying than most jelly polishes & chic!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This jelly polishes dries faster than most Essie polishes and layers well. It’s super shiny before the topcoat and makes my skin look tan without being too pastey of a white. The brush size is just right for application and made it easy to keep my cuticles clean. I found that it wore for 7+ days. I’m excited to keep wearing this! You can see 1 coat on the left & 2 coats on the right side of my thumb for comparison of coverage.

Lovely shimmer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So pretty, pink and subtle. I loved this, the polish was very easy to apply and dry down, lasted a good amount of days without chipping. I used it layered on top of a white nail color but it looked very pretty on its own shimmering in the sun.

Great Essie quality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very beautiful nail Polish, the quality is great, it applies smoothly and dries down quickly , this color is very subtle and though and not a bold white color. You do have to apply about three layers or use it as base for another color on top.
