essieOriginal Nail Polish, 686 on mute, Dark Grey Nail Polish, 13.5 ml

Lovely nail varnish which covers well and has a great finish. Good value too.

I. Love. This. Colour! great quality nail polish and a beautiful shade of grey!

Very dense colouring, looks great even with only one coat. Goes on smoothly too

The product was used and tested by my wife whose comments and feedback were used as the basis for this review.Very nice nail polish, I have used several nail polishes from this brand and been happy with them so far. An interesting colour for me and not one I might ordinarily consider, an interesting shade of grey, not as dark as it first appears. Applies easily enough to give a smooth finish which is reasonably quick drying. Tough enough to prevent chips and last for several days depending on your routine.

This is a lovely colour however the brush is awful - it’s floppy and therefore the varnish is really hard to apply neatly. Never experienced this with essie before.

I have this in the colour On Mute. I apply two thinnish coats for a good coverage. The colour is really nice - a dark, dark grey. Less severe than pure black, but great for monotone colour fans like me!

(Written by my 17 year old)After getting this nail polish it quickly became one of my favourites, the grey fit well with my aesthetic and skin tone and worked very well as either a matte polish or with glitter or a glossy topcoat.This polish applies very smoothly, only taking two coats for full coverage, I found it dried in the same time as standard Essie polishes and could be sped up to about a minute and a half if using a UV lampOverall really good and I’ll probably buy again when it’s runs out

This is a dark grey nail varnish - the appearance of the colour does depend on the light. It can appear both grey or black. It goes on well, and seems to have a smooth finish. I used it with a base coat. I found it lasted 4 days with minimal chipping, despite typing as part of my job.
