Essie Nail Polish Review

I was lucky enough to trial this nail polish and must admit, I've fallen in love with it. I don't usually wear nail polish that much (have 3 kids and lots of washing, so it comes off all the time lol) but I will definitely wear this nail polish. I love it, its a gorgeous colour and I really love the way it looks, makes me feel a little bit feminine lol.

I was disappointed not to get the original Essie colour that the trail was meant to be for, but it has all worked out in the end! I LOVE this colour! The Essie brush is right up there with the OPI one, possibly even better. The polish just glides on nice and easily. There wasn't a nasty smell either, which was a big plus. This was my first time using Essie and I am very impressed, will definitely be adding more Essie colours to my nail polish collection!

The formula is really good and its easy to coat the nail all you really need is one coat. It dries pretty quick aswell. The only thing is I really really really dislike the colour.

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 really loved this nail polish, I loved the consistency and the brush held enough product that I didn't need to keep redipping. It was lovely as a sheer colour but building it up made it look nice too. Normally my polish will chip off the next day, but this has managed to last 5 days so far and is only started to chip away now.

I found that the consistency of the polish started to thicken up after a few uses. However, I love this colour and how soft it looks!

This nail polish is a gorgeous colour and goes really well with current summer clothes. The brush was wider than I’m used to and initially I thought this made the coverage was uneven when I put it on my nails. It did make the application process faster though which was good. There was no smell which was a major plus as some other brands I’ve used have a really unpleasant artificial smell that hangs round for ages. It dried evenly giving a uniform look and there was no smudging which was great. There were no chips for the first four days and then I noticed a bit on some nails round the edge. I love the colour, the bottle itself is attractive and I will definitely be using it again over the summer.

Wow what an amazing nail polish! The new and improved Essie nail Polish, I found to be quick drying as well as it didn't have that awful smell that a nail polish usually does! The colour itself is a beautiful baby pink colour, I did find that I had to put on like 3 coats so that it actually looked nice and not too patchy. The brush is amazing with the rounded end and made applying the nail polish fuss free.

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!!
