Essie Nail Polish Review

I picked up this polish after seeing the rave reviews on beauty review!

This is the perfect nail polish for everyday wear if you are after a natural, tidy nail look. It goes on so easily and the formula isn't too thick of tacky so no bubbles. It also dried super quick so perfect for girls on the go. Love this product and am excited to try more from essie!

When I first read about this particular shade it wasn't exactly getting accolades because it was a "flat brown". I thought it would make a lovely colour on your nails especially if you have darker skin so naturally I jumped at the chance to try it out.

The colour is a very dark brown with reddish undertones so the colour isn't completely flat and it does in fact look really flattering on my skin tone (NC44).

You can glam this shade up by adding a sparkly top coat as well. I opted to add a gold sparkle polish on my ring finger as a feature nail and it looks really lovely.

The quality of the polish is signature Essie, it's a great consistency, not too runny and goes on really smoothly.

Overall, I think this colour is perfect especially for autumn when you need to whip out the rich browns and coppery colours.

I really love this polish and am already thinking of other ways I can glam it up.

My verdict? This is a beautiful polish and it's a lovely rich tone which does flatter mostly darker skin tones. It would probably border on looking a bit gothic on lighter skin tones.

If you like rich browns then this is definitely a polish you should try out. Or maybe just try out a different shade and amp up your polish colours.

I have to say I wasnt that keen on the colour at first. Im a sucker for strong bold colour so it took some getting used too. It was easy to apply - not too thick or too runny. It dried really quickly also. I did have a few positive comments from a few friends and a stranger at the supermarket too! I think for a night out it would look great but it's maybe a bit too dark for an every day colour.

When I got selected to trail this I wasn't sure at all about the colour...but I actually love it. Its a charcoal grey, and it goes with everything! I recieved it five days ago, put it om staright away, it dried quickly and has not chipped at all. Its easy to apply, and looks good just with one coat, has a really nice shine. I will be definitely be wearing it again.

This product exceeded my expectations by far! I have a labour intensive job and I defiantly pushed this product to the limit! No chips after 2 days which is pretty good for me, I'll be buying more in this range .

I was so excited to be given the chance to trial this, thanks BR!

The colour in the bottle is a dense grey, but after it's on your nails and has dried it comes to life. The undertones of green are most visible in natural light, indoors this is a dignified, deep colour.

It only takes 2 coats and lasted 3 days before showing wear and tear. As a hairdresser this is good going!

It was a wee bit harder to remove than my OPIs but this is probably due to the dark colour.

Overall - me likey, a lot! Thanks BR xx

Definitely a two layer polish - but such a great colour when layered up! A little bit shimmery so can be worn with any blue green combo. A classic.

I use Essie nail polishes in my salon and this colour always catches my clients eyes. It is a deep, shimmery bold blue. Beautiful on toes and for the more daring - on fingers too!

Essie is not the big brand name like others but I would happily buy it. They have a great range of colours they are ling lasting, and not prone to chipping like other brands, cute little bottles. I have been very happy with my essie colours
