Essie Nail Polish Review

The problem I have with most nail polishes is that it comes on either too thick or too thin. Essie nailpolishes are soo easy to use because the brush is so versatile and can be applied thick or thin. When i first put it on the brush covers most of the nail.

Essie is one of my favourite nail polish brands. The majority of colours are very pretty and feminine and they have a lot to choose from. I would prefer a slightly larger brush but that is a minimal annoyance.

I own a few metallic shades which are brilliant! Completely opaque in one coat, although I do two for staying power, and they are non-streaky. The pastel shades I have last a long time on my nails without chipping. They go on very sheer with the first coat but build up to opaque in 2 or 3 coats. They also dry reasonably quick which is good and leave a nice hard finish.

I purchase my Essie polishes on eBay as I find it cheaper even with paying for shipping and they have all the colour range.

I love this polish. They have a huge range of wonderful colours, and the application is amazing, it just glides on. The best thing is that it seems to last a lot longer then any other brand I've used, and I'm a nail technician so I've used a lot. The only negative I have is the price, unfortunately it's a bit too expensive for me to be able to buy the amount of colours I would need, totally worth it, but just a tad too expensive.

I have my 2 Essie polishes in Chinchilly (a cool toned grey) and No Boundaries (a bright fuschia). I love the simple packaging with the white cap and clear glass bottle as it looks sleek and allows you to see the colour inside.

The brush is also very good, dense enough to pick up enough polish and broad enough so that it doesn't cause any streaking.

The formula is also amazing, both are opaque with 2 coats and while it does take a while to dry, I find that it is one of the formulas which lasts on me and I can wear it for more than a week withouth it chipping. With the bright colour, I also find that it remains bright and vibrant for a good week - which is quite rare with my other bright polishes.

Overall, yes it's a bit pricey but for what you're getting, it's definitely worth it!

I look at my vanity and see an overflow of Essie. Obviously my favourite. Well firstly it's affordable especially online thru other stores you cna get them on special. What I like is the square bottle, the paint brush is nice to hold and use and their range of shades are varied with cute names toboot. The brush is a nice square shape making it easy to apply however the bristles aren't flimsy nor are they stiff the combination of it could be called perfect. One layer could almost be enough but I like depth with my colours so I add two coats of paint to get that deep colour of the polish. I don't usually have a top coat on or a base, I'm lazy nail person and therefore it's just the polish itself. I can say with this alone I get a good wear of the polish before nay chipping occurs and I'm OK with that.

One of my favourite nail polish brands! It is the longest lasting polish I own, that has a good thickness. You don't have to pile on heaps of coats just for the colour to be vivid. They provide a beautiful range of colours at a reasonable price.

I've got a few Essie polishes in my mountainous collection and this is probably one of my favourite soft pinks.

As the name suggests, this is a very, very soft pink that goes on well but you do need a couple of coats for the colour to really come out, otherwise it's a bit sheer and can go on a little streaky.

I love this colour, and I don't typically like pinks, but this is a perfect 'blush' pink that's so girlie I cannot possibly resist it!

Wow what a colour, I popped this on Saturday morning and its still vibrant 3 days on, no sign of chipping or flaking. The only draw back was the size of the brush for application, its wider than normal which for me with rather small nails found a bit tricky to get neatly on, but nothing a trusty cotton bud soaked in remover couldn't fix. Would be buying this again for sure, it is as stated a vacation in a bottle, as the blue has an almost sparkle to it which reminds me of ocean views with the sun bouncing off it.

This Nail Polish is a fantastic colour and I received many compliments on it. I haven't used a polish with a rounded brush before and it was great. It made it so much easier to apply and get a great look. I applied two coats and got a really nice finish. I will definitely be using this one again.

This colour is probably one of the most gorgeous nail polishes I own. It is a really pretty royal blue with a gorgeous shine.

The brush is quite wide and dense which I found really good and it made application quite a bit easier than other nail polishes I own.

Once I had applied only 1 coat it was almost a blueish-green colour, and I was feeling pretty disappointed that it looked nothing like the colour in the bottle, but with one more layer it was the exact colour as the bottle portrayed and super super vibrant! I was inlove. It then dried super fast too, and I had no problem with it smudging or getting indents or getting ruined on my nails like I generally do!

It lasts very well also, the first sign of tiny chips I noticed was after 3 days of wear, until then there was no chipping, peeling or anything. I was so surprised and it lasts better than any other higher end nail polish i've ever tried, such as OPI or Orly.

Overall I am extremely impressed with both the colour and the lasting power. I've never had a nail polish that I've loved so much and that has ticked all the boxes for me. I'll definitely be wearing this all the time!
