Essie Nail Polish Review

love their color range and that you can get these on sale at some online stores (however color choices are limited then). I only have two shades, watermelon and midnight cami (which is a darker shade of navy blue) and i love both!

I love essie nail polishes. Firstly their range is superb. There is a colour in there for everyone my favourite two being cute as a button and watermelon. The wide brushes make it easy to apply - in fact my partner always comments my nails look much nicer when I use essie than when I use any other polish!

If there is ONE item you need from essie however is their gel setter top coat. This stuff is magic. Not only do your nails look super glossy and gel like (hehe) they last FOREVER with no chipping. In fact I only needed to take my polish off because my nails were growing.

I love either painting or having my nails painted and there isnt a time that there is not a colour on my nails, fingers or toes.

I bought a bottle of Essie on special on a whim. It was a great whim.

I enjoy using this polish. It comes in a typical clear glass bottle with a white plastic lid. The brush is a bit different to a lot of nail polish brushes, but I found it very effective. Three strokes and my nail was done.

I apply my polish to clean and dry nails and usually use a base coat. I will then do two colour coats and finish with a clear top coat. I found the colour applied nice and evenly and dried in a reasonable length of time. The top coat gave the colour a beautiful shine and helped it last for days.

I removed this polish with my usual nail polish remover which came off easily.

There is a huge array of colours in this Essie range.I think the hardest thing you will have will be deciding which awesome colour to buy.

I first come across Essie polishes in a spa. They had a great range of colours and I brought a couple. I found they go on really easily don't need to apply to many coats to get decent coverage either. Love love love

This is my first Essie polish and it sure wont be my last, I just love it! Damsel in a dress is dark burgundy with a nice shine to it. The formula has a great coverage and consistency which means you can get away with as little as 2 coats. The brush is nice and wide which for my nails means I only need one swipe per nail to apply the polish. The drying time seems to be a lot faster than most other polishes I have, even though it doesn't claim to be fast drying.

The pigment is great and the end result is in a nice opaque smooth finish - which the perfectionist in me loves. Finish with a clear top coat and you have near salon perfect nails!

Like other polishes this will still chip depending on how much you use your hands but using this particular colour chips are easy to touch up. The polish is easily removed with any preferred nail polish remover.

Got this lovely gem from Farmers with Beauty Club redemption. Love the colour, perfect shade of dark red. Love the brush, the shape helps the polish to go on quickly and evenly. And I love how quick it dries! 2 coats dried within 30 mins. Very impressed.chipped on first day back at work, but it was quite a rough day on the hands. Will def purchase some other colours.

I'm not a huge nail polish user, so I don't purchase any often and when I do I am very fussy. I recently bought a dark blue shade and I love it! It has stayed on my toe nails for over 2 weeks now with only one small chip- and i am sure I actually smudged that part when I was applying it. It didn't take long at all to dry either, 2 coats were dry within 20 minutes (approximately, i didn't time it). No over powering smell, I will definitely buy again.

I have got a box full of nail polishes and I don't know why I didn't try Essie sooner. I got the colour lady like and its a soft nude mauve colour. I pretty much wear it every time I apply nail polish. It comes in a lovely glass bottle and I find that this brand lasts longer without chipping compared to the others that I have so will definitely be purchasing more colours. It has really good coverage and dries really quickly.

I've owned way too many nail polishes but I've never had a black one. So when I saw it on sale I thought eh, why not? I've heard amazing things about Essie polishes, how their staying power is great, no chipping, dries fast, opaque blah blah. Here's my take. It does apply very smoothly and is very opaque. I only needed one coat for it to look decent and two made it look completely black and really glossy. The brush is comfortable to use and consistency is perfect. Tick for application! It dried in about 5 minutes but then when I took a hot shower that night it softened and got munted with fingerprints. But that only happened on two fingers. Meh for drying. I'm usually pretty rough with my nails and do a lot of hands-on things so I never have high hopes for my polish not chipping. But these lasted pretty well for about 4 days and chipped around the edges up to about a week. Then I HAD to get rid of it because chipped black polish just doesn't look great. Meh, pretty good for the staying power! I'd say yes Essie is awesome and makes manicures super easy in terms of application. But I'm not sure I'd buy more unless I found them on sale again.

Essie has won my varnish heart! I decided late last year that I was no longer buying cheap nail varnish. I do all my painting myself and would rather have a few colours of good quality vs heaps of colours which are lower quality.

The brush is the perfect shape for one or two stroke coverage. I keep my varnish in a cool dark cupboard which keeps it fresh for much longer.

The square jars make it easier to hold on to and are alot sturdier for those times I’m not applying on a flat surface (which really is pushing my luck but just sometimes it’s so nice to do nails all cosy on the couch or in bed – which I definitely don’t do while hubby is around ;-)).

I managed to pick up a three pack of minis which was a great idea, gave me great new colours. The standard jar lasts so long that sometimes I only get through ½ a jar and get bored. I do hope Essie brings out more minis.

I use a base coat, two colour coats & top coat with quick dry. I am done and dusted within ½ hr. I find Essie varnish dries very quick, applies great without the varnish drying or turning glunky. I’m not scrubbing pots the same day & careful does in for a few hours after. I find it to be stronger and sleeker than other brands with it not chipping or cracking easily (once dried), it is a sturdy varnish.

Essie have a great range of colours & I always find it so so hard to choose but to be honest I am so happy with their varnish I will slowly build up my stock over time.
