*** J'ai reçu ce produit gratuitement du "Product Review Club" de Chick Advisor (#GOTITFREE) *** En tant que fan de la marque Essie, j'étais très excité d'essayer ce nouveau produit! Et je n'ai vraiment pas été déçue! Pour ma part, j'ai reçu la couleur A-Game, un bourgogne profond et très distingué! J'ai appliqué 2 couches, assez facilement, qui n'ont pas pris tellement de temps pour sécher. À une seule couche, la teinte était déjà presque opacte, ce que j'aime, en général, d'un vernis à ongles! Les 4-5 premiers jours après l'application, mes ongles sont restés quasiment intacts, ce qui est assez rare pour moi. Ça en dit long sur la tenue! Pour ce qui est du reste, je ne peux pas dire que j'ai remarqué que mes ongles étaient plus "forts". Mais puisque le produit a malheureusement pris trop de temps pour arriver, je n'ai pas pu en faire l'essai plus de 10 jours. C'est donc à suivre, pour ce point! Autrement, à ce prix et à cette qualité, c'est assurément un achat "must" pour moi, que je recommande à toutes les fans d'Essie, et les autres! Imfallen

I received this product free from Chick Advisor for review. I chose the color "A-game", which is a deep dusty burgundy. I paired it with another of essie's regular polish "penny talk" to compare wear (it just so happened that the colors complement each other very well!) This polish is an all in one, so I didn't use a base coat, nor a top coat. The polish applies like butter. It's a beautiful thick polish that you can almost get away with one coat. It dries quickly and I was able to resume my day within 15 minutes of applying the polish with no bumps or dents. The polish dries to a decent shine and seemed significantly darker once dry on my nails than it looked in the bottle. The brush isn't perfect. I found mine to be jagged and it took some maneuvering but the formula was really easy to work with so it was a little more forgiving of the jagged brush. The first 2 days of the polish were flawless, there was no shrinkage, I didn't have any issues with cracking or chipping and this is all while going about my normal routine (Which includes washing dishes by hand) By the time day 3 came around there was noticeable tip wear of both the Essie TLC line and their regular polish. I was expecting more for staying power as I really don't see a difference between their regular polish and this TLC polish without a top coat. I think you can get away without the base coat, it has held on to my nail and it seems to be a decent strengthener (for the 4 days it's been on) but the tips wear and with my choice being a darker color I definitely notice the white line at the tip of my nails. Next time I use this color I'll reach for a top coat. As a side note for those that do nail stamping. This polish is thick and stamps wonderfully! But I come back to use a top coat because the stamping was starting to rub off after 3 days. I've also attached some photos. The first coat (it covers very well in one coat!) Two coats which has stamping, and then after 3 days of wear showing the wear on the tips. Both lines of polish have near identical wear with no top coat. I usually get 5-7 days out of a manicure. I was a little disappointed in the color selection. These are excellent fall colors, but coming up on spring I would really be looking for a bright full coverage color. I found these colors to be a little more dusty or sheer than I would have looked for in a spring line. Then again the swathes here don't do the colors justice. I'll be keeping my eye on this line!
