Essie Play Date was purchased by me. All opinions are my own honest thoughts.

I've wanted to pick up Essie Play Date for a long time. It seems like every time I ask someone wearing a cute purple polish what it is, they say "Essie Play Date". But, it's in the Essie permanent collection, and I always tend to skip over purchasing permanent items in favor of grabbing the seasonal LE stuff. However, I went looking for Naughty Nauticals the other day (with no luck I might add), and I really was in the mood to buy something. When I saw Play Date sitting there, I finally brought it home. I'm glad I finally did! It's such a perky purple creme! Bright, but not crazy bright, and fun!

The formula is pretty good. It's not quite "paints itself on your nails" quality, but I don't have any real complaints. This is two coats, the pigmentation was good too!

Sometimes I should remember that permanent polishes are pretty too! If you've had a longtime lemming like this, just go get it! You'll be glad you did!

Essie Play Date is available at a CVS near you.
