Where is esie's color called meatballs?

Hi there Geri! Unfortunately, the shade meatballs is not a current essie color and is not available. Sometimes, online reviewers reference discontinued shades, which we know can be confusing.

Do you need an LED lamp?

Nope! You just need the Essie gel top coat to give it the "gel" functionality. It also helps the polish dry super quickly!

One Of My Go-To Essie Colors

I absolutely love, love, love this color. Berry Naughty is a deep, dark red that’s perfect for fall. It's bold, rich, and super flattering. I usually do two coats to get a nice thickness to the finish, and it goes on smooth without any streaks, which is a big deal for me.The brush makes it easy to apply, and it dries relatively quickly, about what you'd expect from a good polish. The smell is just your standard nail polish scent, nothing out of the ordinary.I didn’t use a base or top coat, and it still lasted about a week without chipping, which really impressed me. I also love that it’s 8-free and vegan. I’ve got several Essie shades and this one’s definitely one of my top picks. Great quality without the salon price.

Excellent shiny, long lasting quality

Excellent full color! One coat is full coverage, two coats is going for the jugular sexy! Comparing it to my fav OPI, it is shinier when dried!! BUT it takes three times as long to dry!!😭 This is not sticky at all. Lasts DAYS AND DAYS!! I added one coat after two days and a top coat, a week later it’s still perfect!! I got the color Wicked, which is a great dupe for old school Vamp!! It’s frustrating how long it takes to dry, but the payoff is worth it!!
