Essie Nail Polish Wicked #249

This is my first Essie nail polish and I love it. It went on non streaky and opaque within two coats, and five days later I only have two chips. Wicked is a deep berry wine color and is absolutely stunning for fall. Against darker skin its quite complimentary.

What can I say but I love this color. It lasts all week and the color is rich and vibrant.

This color really is in all the Magazines. And, as I suspected, this color is ... basically the same thing made by other companies. It's no different, it has no special "pop" or flare. It's the same ultra dark berry color you can find anywhere except it costs more. If you're just a die hard Essie fan, there's no harm in buying it, especially if you can get a deal. If you're frugal at heart (like me), just buy the cheaper version.
This polish paints on well and covers in 2 coats, but is quite a bit thinner in consistency when compared with other polishes I have by Essie.

It's not bad. But it's not new, special, or in any ways different from all of the other super dark berry polishes I already own.
