This product chips immediately. At $10 a bottle, I won't be buying it again. Very disappointed.

Meh, at best. Streaky application, chips nearly immediately (even with Seche Vite topcoat), colors definitely not as vibrant as shown on webpage - more muted and dull, actually. I bought Nothing Else Metals and Penny Talk. They looked pretty in the browser but, in real life, they are more "fall shade" than the vibrant metallics I wanted for summer. The "chrome" effect is also very weak so, if you are looking for the real mirror-shine chromes, this definitely is not it. I'd say, for the overall performance (or rather lack thereof), not worth 10 dollars a bottle. CH New Bohemian Luster chromes for 2012 are MUCH nicer.

I love Essie polish, but I was disappointed with this one too. The colour was nice but it chipped the day I painted my nails. I used a basecoat and a top coat and they still chipped. The formula and application was horrible for this metallic polish. I won't use it again.

I completely agree with the previous review. They dry quickly and will show every imperfection your nails have. On my finger nails these chipped within 1 day ( i wore a base coat with Seche Vite top coat)! I wear Essie nail polishes often but the formula and application for these is horrible! However they aren't very streaky compared to other metallic nail polishes...gave 3 stars only because i love the color 'penny talk' which reminds me of rose gold, so beautiful! Sadly it chips so quickly so I would not recommend.

These do chip pretty quickly, but the vivid metallics are a HUGE improvement on the foil polishes from back in the day. They dry very fast and show tiny imperfections, so you should use a ridge-filling base coat underneath.
