Essie Nail Polish Review

I love Essie nail polishes for quite a few reasons. They’re well priced, normally under $20. They have a great shade range and while they don’t bring new shades out like their main competitor the colours they have are vibrant and classic. Most importantly they wear really well. I find most polishes chip by the second day but used with a base coat and a couple of coats of the actual polish will still look good 5 days later (activity dependant of course). They apply easily and only need about 2 coats versus 3 with most other brands. I recently picked some up at the Chemist Warehouse for $9 and while they didn’t have a lot to choose from the colours they did have were pretty. Don’t be sold on the shade name alone as they can differ somewhat to the actual shade. I ordered Saltwater Happy and it seemed really blue online but it’s very purple on the nails. I would recommend using a top coat (from any brand) just to help keep the polish looking it’s best. I will be buying this brand again and again as I can’t stop looking at my nails when I have one of their gorgeous shades on.

I loved the bright colour i received its one if my fave colours! The shape of the bottle was really different compared to other brands so i really liked it. This was the first time i have ever tried the essie brand and i would have to say that for the price you pay its really good but if you want it to last long you definitely need 2 coats but thats all and if you have a top coat it definitely makes it last a lot longer and makes it take longer to chip! Would really like to see more colours and i would like to see essie being sold in more places aswell.

These polishes are great, Easy application. The range of colours is huge and I swear they're always expanding. You will have better results with a top and base coat

I'm not a massive polish user, mainly because I get frustrated with the chipped look, even after doing everything to avoid it. This polish applies beautifully and stays on longer than many others. Nice colour selection too.

I have always loved Essie nail polish, have about 10 of them myself and this one is probably the most unique colour out of them all. I would prefer to wear it in winter as its not quite bright enough for me in summer but I still love it. It has an amazing shine/gloss and i found it very easy to apply. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a different but amazing colour !

I absolutely love this natural pretty pink colour. I'm not supposed to wear polish for work but this sheer colour makes my nails look a healthy soft pink colour with kind of a French polish finish to them. A little product goes a long way so try not to have too much on the brush when applying to avoid it from going streaky and apply 2-3 coats depending on your colour preference. This is a lovely base colour for nail art or add a wee diamante for that extra touch of glamour!!

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.

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

I love Essie polish, just as much as OPI but I find Essie has a slightly better colour range, especially in the pale/sheer pink range - they have so many too choose from. I think the consistency, drying time and brush are all great quality. With a base coat and top coat Essie polish lasts me almost a week without noticeable chips but far less time if I don't use a top coat. The colours I have at the moment are Penny Talk, Back in the Limo, Recessionista, Don't Sweater It, and Eternal Optimist. I'd also like to try their Matte top coat soon.

This is my go to nail polish. When I first purchased it I was a bit dubious as to whether or not Essie nail polishes would be worth all the hype. But after trying this nail polish, I am so keen to keep purchasing this brand as I'm sure they certainly are worth the hype. I've been using it for the last 6 months or so and I hardly ever use any other colour because this is the only Essie nail polish I own and I'm in love. The packaging is so sleek.

This nail polish goes on smoothly and dries quickly. I love that in a nail polish. I hate when you splurge on a nail polish and it just goes all bubbly. But this nail polish didn't do that. It also dried very quickly which is great because I hate sitting around waiting for my nail polish to dry.

Overall, I loved this product and I can't wait to purchase more of the Essie nail polishes. However, I may have to save up because I can't afford to spend $23 on a nail polish all the time...
