Essie Nail Polish Review

I enjoy Essie, the colour is pretty good and I mostly need one coat, sometimes two for touch-ups. It usually stays on for about 3-5 days before it begins to chip. The dark colours do stain your nails though and leaves mine looking yellow. I love the range of colours available and sometimes I grab a new colour if they go on sale at Farmers.

I quite liked this product. In the 80's I used to twink my nails - so I was seriously excited to review this nail polish. I loved the brush, nice and wide and easily applied. I did find it a bit streaky. I put on two coats which looks acceptable. I would used this again and I would be happy with the result.

I was excited to try this nail polish as the colour looks absolutely stunning . Firstly , the colour in the bottle is exactly the same as advertised . A beautiful , cool , metallic almost turquoise shade , it is definitely unique ! When applying , I found the formula quite watery and thin . It required two coats minimum to create a decent effect on the nail . Once applied , Trophy Wife was definitely a stand out colour with quite a shiny finish , making my nails look glossy . The staying power of this product slightly disappointed me . Within 48 hours , most of my nails had quite large chips and flaking . I removed all of the polish and retried with a base and top coat , and the polish lasted around three days without chips . I was expecting a little more staying power for the price Essie retails at , but the finished product is still amazing to look at . i would definitely use Trophy Wife again as the colour is outstanding , but I may look elsewhere first before purchasing another Essie polish due to the staying power . I would reccomend Trophy Wife to a friend but would also reccomend a decent base and top coat alongside this product . If you are willing to put in a little extra time to make Trophy Wife stay put and look gorgeous , the payoff is fantastic !

I usually wear much brighter coloured nail polishes than this, however I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this more natural look. It almost made my nails look like they were French manicured. I found it easy to apply due to a great brush tip, and its drying time was also pretty fast which was great. It lasted a lot longer on my nails without chipping than I thought it would (several days, which is a lot for me as my hands have a pretty rough life lol.) The only downside I could find with it was that it dried slightly streaky. That could be due to my application maybe, so not fully blaming the nail polish. Overall I'm very pleased with Essie - Ballet Slippers!

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.

i love this colour but was a bit dissapointed with the application, it can be a little streaky but this can be corrected over a couple of layers, that being said, more layers = more chance of chipping, and i noticed this happening whenever I did more than two coats. the shape and width of the brush is awesome and very easy to use,would definitely try other colours from this brand

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 love painting my nails and Essie is one of my favourite nail polish brands. They display a lot of pretty colours to choose from and none disappoint. If you like pastel coloured nail polishes check out Essie because they have a great range of pastel coloured nail polishes. It's very easy to apply as it has a good consistency and it dries pretty quickly. I find that it lasts ages on my nails without chipping and I only need to apply two coats to get the full colour of the nail polish.

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!
