This shade is has two names; Mesmerize and Mezmerize and is a dupe for OPI's "Dating a Royal".

 Review

 

Its funny because on the official Essie page, the color is listed as mezmerize (with a z). But EVERY store that sells this item (Amazon, Target, Ulta), the color is listed as mesmerize (with a s). Maybe Essie decided to change the spelling at the last minute?

This is a cream finish deep bold blue that is darker on the nails than on the bottle.  Essie describes this shade as "a royal va-va blue", this is a dark bold blue that is royal with hints of midnight blue. I applied two coats and it as chip resistant as most Essie formulas are. The MSRP for this item is $8, a little cheaper than OPI, a lot more expensive that Sinful Colors.

Dupe

This color can be a dupe for OPI's "Dating a Royal".
