Essie Nail Polish Review

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 !

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 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!

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 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 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.

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.

Such a gorgeous colour! This is a soft, subtle pink, nice and discreet for the office or for spring time. I like to use this in a french mani for a feminine touch.
