Yup. My go to color for salon manicure. Love it. Have it on now

@JeanLouiseFinch Definitely Essie. You may like Ballet Slippers (it's actually the Queen of Great Britain's favorite). Essie has the best nudes. Sally Hansen - I had a polish on my toes left over from last summer and in December removed to find my nails in bad condition - never again.

You had the same polish on your toes for 6 months? Did I read that correctly?

My choice would be Essie Ballet Slippers.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I have tried Essie and it starts to chip and wear off withing 24 hours. I am a Sally Hansen fanatic and have been for years. I love their polish. I start with a base coat and finish with a clear gel top coat, all SH products, and the colors wear like iron. I also use their Vitamin E nail and cuticle oil. Prices are good and excellent products.

@Alison Wonderland You are so right. I have to go through a lot of preparation with my nails before I apply color. The base and top coats really do make a difference.

When I get a little chipping, and it's in the same places where I'm having nail issues (peeling or splitting), then I know it's more about my nails than the polish I used. When I get big chips on random nails, then I blame the polish. Having said that, lately I've been liking Essie. Previous to that I was using Sally Hansen Miracle Gel, which I also liked a lot. OPI has always been a big chipper for me.

If you can find a SH color you like for a much better price than Essie, go for it, I have used them all on my natural nails, and see no difference in quality. I recently got a SH Hard as Nails color at Walmart for $1.97 and it is just fine, had it on for a week, only a few minor chips.
