essie Nail Polish, Salon-Quality Grayish Brown Nail Polish, Vegan, Crochet Away, 0.46 fl oz

Essie is my go to brand of nail polish because if it’s many beautiful color choices. I like a few other brands, but the colors are limited. I saw this color, Always Morphing, on someone and loved it. The reason for only three stars is the formula. I just want to warn you. It is very thick. It was very hard to work with. I even tried putting the bottle in some warm water which helped for one hand, but by the time I got to the second hand, it had thickened up again. Even after warming it, you don’t need two coats. Definitely only use one coat! Because it’s so thick, you will get flaws and bubbles. What saved me was the Londontown Gel Shift topcoat that you use with a gel lamp. this topcoat is pretty awesome. It totally miraculously erases the flaws and makes the manicure look good. As you can see in the picture, I am no professional! It is my left hand, and I am right handed. Jan 24,2026: I now realize that the problem I had was the polish was cold. I take hot tapwater in a small cup and put the polish in to warm up. After a few minutes, it’s much easier to work with.

The color is great and it stays on for several days.

love the color. Dries well, and fast. 10/10 and long lasting

Nice color and went on easy

Color was a bit more purple in person but was still a great shade of brown & exactly what I needed for my outfit. I love Essie polishes because they are smooth & I don’t deal with a lot of chipping. I usually leave polish on for 4 days before switching & the tips of my nails didn’t chip at all! The polish was still new so it was not clumpy at all. Application is easy- it has a nice brush that’s on the wider side so you get good coverage. Easy to remove too! Smells just like any other nail polish lol. Only downside I have with it is that it does not dry very quickly & takes a while to cure- so be careful for up to an hour after painting your nails. Same issue I’ve had with Essie polishes across the board though. Once you figure out the proper timing, they are great :) I’d recommend 5 minutes between coats & waiting 15 minutes to apply top coat!

Loved the color! Wished it stayed on longer!

Love this deep brown with warm undertones. Essie nail polish is good quality at an affordable price and I keep coming back for more colors.

Beautiful color. Love Essie!

I was pretty much having to redo or touch up my nails daily with this. It's a shame because it is just a true pitch black color and could be a one coat black but better with two coats. Just not worth it for how much it chipped and peeled compared to other polish. Usually love Essie brand so this is definitely a huge let down. Used "here to stay" base coat and "gel-setter" top coat along with it which I usually don't have many problems with.

I've never worn dark colours on my nails. This morphing; dark brown is amazing. It shines as well. I just love it. Excellent quality as well.

Good product

I was expecting a lovely, rich coffee colour but this is a dark, muddy wine shade.

Beautiful colour.
