Essie Nail Polish Review

This color is very similar to many that I have in my kit, which says that its a color I like. This one I have found especially good as it has a great depth to it. To me it has a very nautical feel to it. It has lasted very well on my nails, and considering I am out of top coat, this says a lot. I would absolutely recommend this shade, and Essie to anybody. 5/5 from me.

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 so excited to be trying this, and hoping it wouldnt look like twink (as previous white nail polishes have). However i was a little disappointed as after 2 coats the polish was still streaky, and after the 3rd coat it looked like twink. I tried it as soon as I received it and so thought maybe it was a bit shaken up from being in the post, so tried again 2 days later. Same result and now the polish seemed thick and gluggy too :( However, on the up side, I have since used this as an undercoat and applied coloured patterns over the top - wow. The white really makes the colours POP!! Will totally keep using as now i can maximise the colour while avoiding the 'twink look'.

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!
