    Angora Cardi is from Essie’s permanent line. Google tells me it was first released in the 2009 Fall Collection called "Cuddle with Color”. It’s one of those polishes that has cult status so when I...

    It is dull brown on my nc 15 skin. I’d never buy it but was gifted it. Chips easily, not flattering. Will not wear again

    It’s a beautiful colour, but chips really quickly. I needed three coats to get a really even coverage. I tried it with my usual base and top coats that work well with other polishes. This one...

    I love this colour and I have just bought a new bottle! The colour is very original, something between dark burgundy and dark golden brown, it is a velvety soft cosy type a colour. It goes a bit...

    I first and last tried this color 3/2017 and was super disappointed. It pulls very dark brown on me after 2 coats (barely tinge of mauve) and applied streaky and clumpy. Hated it and the Essie...

    Hi.. Love this color! This is the #1 color on Pinterest. I think this color would look beautiful on all skin tones and is probably my go to when I don't know what other color to wear.

    After seeing this shade pop up on my Pinterest feed and dismissing it, I decided I ought to give it a try. It’s a beautiful muted-pink/pinky-plum/mauve color that says “autumn” without being orange...

    I really like this color. I do find I need 3 coats to get a solid even look on my nails but that seems to be the norm for all the Essie polishes I own. It is a great deep dusty rose color. I love...

    I cannot get enough of this one, and it is definitely in my top fives. It's bold, but muted in the most subtle of ways. It's versatile, classy, and very mature without being out of style. It looks...

    A really nice darken pinkish mauve- like shade. It's really beautiful, only requires one coat to be fully covered. It does apply more thickly like an OPI NP than the typical runny Essie NP. I'm not...

    It chips almost immediately, I went ahead and polished them all over again last night and I am at work today with chipped nails. I like the color, but not worth it

    I had such high hopes for Essie Angora Cardi but I was left feeling rather underwhelmed. The colour in the bottle looks pretty, a deep dusky rose colour, but on my nails it pulls a bit darker and...

    I was obsessed with this shade for a long time because it's just such a beautiful plum colour. I have the same problem with this as I have with Geranium, it chips after a few days of application....

    I was expecting a mauve color but upon application I was surprised to see a dark purple color. The color is still nice but just not what I was looking for. Unfortunate because the color in the...

    This color chips quickly on me. It only lasts one or two days. However, the color is still one of my go-to's because it works beautifully with a Soft Summer palette.

    This is a beautiful deep rose color that leans more dusty purple. It's darker on the nail than in the bottle, so be aware. This isn't a unique color by any means, but it's very classy. Opaque in...

    This is a gorgeous fall color. It's a dark muted purplish-wine color that applies beautifully. I usually avoid darker shades because I'm a sloppy nail painter and lazy about touching up chips. ...

    Essie Angora Cardi applied very easily, streak free and not too watery. I'm in the minority that I didn't find it brown enough. On me it's just a pure purple plum, it's a pretty plum but I'm not...

    When I bought this I instantly regretted it. I was having a hard time deciding between this color and essie's "in stitches". Once I left the store, I really wished I would have bought in stitches....
