Essie Nail Polish Review

Just got this in the mail and tried it straight away. It was okay, def nothing fabulous but a fantastic colour. Will see in a few days whether it holds up well, so far it seems okay, except for the fact that even after two coats its not really popping much.

I really like this product! Thanks for selecting me to try BR!

The packaging is really nice, clean and simple. Features the name of the shade on the lid of it, which is handy for me because i shore all of my polishes facing up in a draw, so this way you just have to select your shade.

The brush is wonderful! so wide, I was able to paint my nails with 3 brushstrokes each! So easy! It does hold a lot of product so be sure to brush it along the neck of the bottle to remove some.

This nail polish wears well, currently as I am wearing this, I am up to the 4th day and the only wear/chipping I have is along the corners which you cannot actually see. Unless you are up really close. The color has stayed really vibrant!

I noticed as soon as i got this product it has tiny sparkles in it, however on your nails this is a little hard to notice.

All in all, this color of this nail polish is absolutely wonderful, which I intend on using again and again. The formula, bottle and brush are some of the best i have ever used. Definitely will be recommending this!

Thanks BR!

I cannot get enough of this colour, it's by far my favourite new nail polish and I can't stop looking at my nails! I've never used an Essie polish before, but had heard good things, and I can see why. I was a bit surprised when I first started using it, as the brush is quite wide, so you do have to be a bit careful not to have too much polish on the brush, but once I got used to it, it was great. The colour is just beautiful, a soft, feminine cornflower blue with the tiniest hint of a sparkle to it. Coverage is really good, two coats gave a a complete and lasting coverage which only started to chip about 5 days later, even without a top coat. It's the perfect colour for this time of year, when winter is ALMOST at an end, and I'm dreaming of warmer sunnier days. Looking at my beautiful nails makes me want to drink a cocktail in the sunshine! Cannot recommend highly enough.

I don't wear nude natural looking shades like this on a regular basis, but, after hearing about this polish and how gorgeous it was I had to step out of my routine and give it a try.

I found the formula of this polish was good and easy to apply. It is a sheerer polish than what I am used to, but, that is the look it is made for I believe. I still use 3 coats to get the look I desire though. To me it gives the look of french manicured nails without the white tip (although you could easy add that). It dries in normal time and lasts me a couple of days before a chip occurs...but, I have weak nails and am not exactly kind to my hands (always doing dishes, washing, picking things etc). The formula is nice and not gluggy or difficult to work with so if this sort of shade is up your alley I would recommend it.

I ended up passing this onto a friend as I didn't wear it enough, but, I did like the shade it just wasn't a favourite.

I had high expectations for Essie after hearing it compared to OPI for so many months. I finally plucked up the courage (and money) to purchase a lovely coral shade.

First of all, I find it very runny! I find it's really easy to overload the brush and after all that nail polish, the cover is very poor. I did two coats and it looked like one coat with other pricey brands.

The day after wearing it I had my hands in water for about half an hour, and it all peeled off!

The positives: It was a lovely color, and perhaps with an extra coat and perhaps a top coat would have lasted longer. But as a mother to two young kids, I don't have time to apply 5 coats of nail polish!

Negatives: Very runny and bad coverage. This might just have been this particular shade, but I don't have the money to try another one for it to turn out the same.

I find Essie such an amazing brand to use. I actually really love their colour range, and it is among my favourite nail polish brands along with OPI and Butter London. I own mint candy apple, chinchilly, ballet slippers, after school boy blazer and another coral I cannot remember the name of. I find application easy and it doesn't chip or bubble or anything. Drys reasonably quick as well, at least faster than OPI. I think most of all, they were most worth buying for me because I got them in America, where they were only about $4 each. If I were to buy nail polish in NZ, I would probably still go for OPI over Essie just because the prices are practically the same.

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.

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.

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.
