Stained my nails
2 months ago
I love the color, but it stains so bad! Even with base coat. I’ve tried a few base coats and nothing seems to prevent the staining. I love the color, but it’s not worth the months it takes to grow out the staining.

Hi there Omgitsaclaire, we can see this is not the kind of result any of us want to see when removing nail enamel. Some people are more likely to experience staining from intensely pigmented polish shades. Those with dry nails are especially at risk. You are definitely doing the right thing by using a base coat. You may need to give the base coat a few more minutes to set so it doesn’t absorb any of the pigment. If you see staining during polish removal, lightly buff the nail to remove polish residue from the surface of the nail plate. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Color here looks very different from in-person. It’s more of a dark pink with no real brown/orange undertones :(

Hello Jackie20. Thanks for your feedback. We understand how disappointing this must be to not get the results you were anticipating. The color Bed Rock & Roll should be a deep red-brown nail polish with a cream finish and the slightest of rose tints.

Gorgeous color, but doesn't last :(
3 years ago
I have personally been committed to Revlon because their polish LASTS but they don't offer enough color options. So I mosied on down the beauty aisle at Walgreens and found Bed Rock & Roll among Essie's wide variety of colors.
The color is absolutely stunning, and compliments my brown skin beautifully. However, I was disappointed to find indentations in my polish after waking up the next day. I polished my nails around noon and probably went to bed around 9pm. Apparently, my nails still weren't dry. Also, here we are a week later - I wore closed-toe flats and have found each of my big toes smudged.
I am so disappointed because the color is so beautiful, but I will be returning this polish. :(

Perfect AUTUMN Color!

I love it! This classic color is the best mix of brown and red. Not a blue undertone - so it’s a great neutral. Creamy color and excellent coverage in 2 coats. The photo is in natural daylight :)

Very brown
5 years ago
I purchased this color and Rocky Rose and both were much more brown than the images made them seem.
I have fair skin with a slight olive undertone and brown hair. Maybe it's just me. But be warned for if you were thinking this is a spin on red/maroon. Very earthy if that's what you are looking for. But too brown for me

Chips immediately

Even with a bottom and top coat, this color chips within 24 hours. I’m so confused and sad because this red color is amazing

Hey there Officenailsnyc! We want to understand what happened just as much as you do...It sure sounds like you're doing everything right. The color "bed rock & roll", when applied with a base coat and top coat should look great for at least a week. Be sure to use essie base and top coats for optimal wear. Cap the ends of the nail for each layer. And start your mani on dry nails (no contact with water for 30 minutes prior to your mani) Be sure the nail bed has no remaining residue from oils and moisturizers, use your polish remover be sure nail bed is super clean.

Bought this today and love the color. It went on smoothly and has great coverage. I’ve been an Essie girl for years! I’ve never had long nails, but Essie makes me feel confident with a clean smooth look. Wow showing my age in my hands. Lol

This is now my FOURTH purchase in the last few months only to discover once again the goopyness, thickness and the fact this dries on contact. I am an avid Essie lover but your formulas are not the same anymore. Any polish that dries on contact (that is not an express dry formula) is never a good sign. What is going on?
