Essie Nail Polish Review

I love, love, LOVE this color. I was hesitant to buy it because I already have several light blue polishes, but this one is truly unique. It's like a baby blue periwinkle. Very slight shimmer that just reads as a nice finish. The formula is thin and streaky so it needed two - three coats, which can be time consuming of course. I'm currently on Day 2 with no chips, so I'd say it doesn't chip very easily as long as you use a top coat.

I love the colour of this nail polish! It has a tiny hint of shimmer in it which really tops it off! The only issue I had with this nail polish was that it was quite thin, so it needed 2-3 coats to build up the colour. Essie does have great packaging and the brush is perfect for getting straight lines on the edge of your nail! Will definitely be buying more nail polishes from Essie!

Essie is my favourite brand of nail polish and I also love this colour.

I prefer Essie nail polishes over OPI, China glaze etc as I feel Essie has the best formula. Its not too think so it goes on easy and it dries much faster than OPI. So I really enjoy essie polishes.

This particular colour is very nice. I bought it at a makeup sale. Its goes well with my tan skin, infact I think i'll suit any skin tone. Just a bit sheer so I do need to apply two to three coats for full opacity.

i have my nails done every three weeks as i work in a bar and spend alot of time having people see my nails i like to get different patterns done annd colours so need a desent type of polish to last the time..this is great colour and dosent beed up or look holey on great polish!

For the price Essie nail polish is a really solid product. It hasn't chipped as quickly as some nail polishes and I LOVE the pastel colours that go on in a really lovely opaque. You can get away with one coat but I generally use two because I like a really solid coverage. They make beautiful seasonal shades. My favourite for summer is Fiji which is a gorgeous barely pink creme. I also use Vested Interest for winter when I feel like something really different.

I have only recently jumped on the Essie train and I have to admit their colours are gorgeous. I like the brush, it applies smoothly and the coverage is great (two coats for decent pigmentation or one coat for sheer).

The lasting power if this polish is on par with some of the other leaders in the market but without careful attention it does chip after only two days.

the shine doesn't last very long either which is a bit disappointing however easily remedied by a good top coat.

No staining of the nail beds with the darker colours either. My Favorite at the moment is Sexy Divide a deep true purple.

I only have a small amount of Essie bottles in my collection but would love to add more in the future.

I must admit I am more of an OPI girl, though I do have a couple of Essie polishes. I like their new bottle design - it's very minimal and the square shape makes them easy to store. The two I have are the old bottle design, where the Essie logo was ridged into the glass, which I also like. This older design bottles are quite weighty and feel like good quality.

I find application to be easy, though I prefer the wider curved brush of some other brands. I tend to do two coats for the shades I have, and follow with a top coat. Wear time varies for me and I tend to remove the polish after three days. I am very hard on my nails however.

The two shades I have are Haute as Hello, a gorgeous pastel coral which makes your skin look more tanned, and Vermillionaire, a bright orangey colour. In summer I like wearing Vermillionaire on my toes and Haute as Hello on my fingers.

These polishes are both from a summer 2010 collection (eeep) and have only recently started to become gluggy. I have used both of them past the halfway mark as the colours are so great.

I have been eyeing up some more shades as I find their range to be really good, especially of paler shades where OPI can be lacking.

Despite being a polish fan, I only recently purchased my first Essie Nail Polish during Farmers Beauty Week after being swayed by the triple points. I have it in the very trendy colour 'Dress to Kilt', a dark red.

Essie's packaging is simple and chic, the rectangular bottle is fantastic for storage and display, showcasing the polish colour perfectly without any distraction from fussy packaging.

The brush is probably the best out of any polish I have tried, including my beloved OPI. The shape seems squarer and has a good width allowing it to glide across the nail effortlessly, covering the surface in a couple of strokes.

The formula is a nice consistency, a little thinner than some but not too runny so that one coat of Dress To Kilt creates an opaque finish. It also dries very quickly which means if you do want to pop on a second layer, which other shades may need, it will be very easy to do without waiting about for ages.

I'm really happy with my purchase and the only thing that would put me off purchasing more Essie polishes is the price, they're a little more than some polishes but I've seen Farmers sometimes has specials with them so I'll keep an eye out!

I purchased my first Essie product off Trade Me for about $7, I was really stoked to try something new and I was rather happy with the results. I found this nail polish really easy to use, it wasn't gluggy or watery - just the right consistency. It was quick drying, being white it was overly streaky but definitely needed 2-3 coats to get good coverage. The brush was easy to use & glided across my nail well, the bottle was easy to handle and attractive. Unlike other brands of nail polish, Essie lasted nearly a week without any chipping or flaking off.

I love this nail polish soooooo much-I have no idea what formula Essie use but for putting on nail polish yourself-I feel like this is the best nailpolish out! AND THE COLOUR SELECTION IS AWESOMEEEEEE
