A rich damson-plum cream made for manicures with polished depth and timeless elegance.
✦ Deep Plum Color for a Classic Essie Manicure
ESSIE REGULAR 998 KIMONO-OVER is an Essie Original enamel nail polish in a deep purple damson-plum shade, also described as eggplant. The cream finish gives the color a smooth, refined look that feels rich, elegant, and easy to wear across seasons.
This is regular lacquer, not Gel Couture and not a gel-polish formula, so it is designed for a traditional manicure routine with base coat, two coats of color, and top coat. Essie’s official site lists this shade as discontinued, making it a thoughtful choice for collectors and anyone who loves a moody plum manicure.
