    My favorite brand of nail polish! There is a huge variety of colors and finishes and it has staying power especially if you use a really good topcoat.

    I love how this brand has a wide selection of colours . The only thing I dislike about it is that it chips after 2 days . Dry time on the polishes are really quick as long as you remember to put multiple thin coats ! For the price it's reasonable

    Essie nail polishes have a good colour selection but they are poor quality. They come on so thin, making multiple coats needed. sometimes more than two. It also separates in the bottle very easily

    Essie is my favourite nail polish and it has a wide spectrum of colours it's amazing. It has a long wear and doesn't chip as much as other brands. It still chips a little and looks even better with a top coat but it's definitely my favourite brand of nail polish.

    As others have mentioned, the colors Essie offers are beautiful, but the product is terrible. This nail polish will chip hours after applying it. This seems to happen no matter what top coat is used. Some high end salons in Montreal use this product, and I can't help but wondering if it's because they know you'll have to go back for a new mani soon after... There are many less expensive nail polishes available in drug stores that do a much better job, and look more professional. Don't waste your money.

    I love the colour spectrum of Essie nail polish but the longevity of the nail polish is really terrible. Even with a base coat and a finish protecting top coat, it still chips after one day of wear. Really disappointing :(

    Essie is the only nail polish I can put away for two winters and still get use out of it! It glides on perfectly and is very opaque. No need for triple and quadruple coats. 100+ different shades. I will pay the price if it means I can open a bottle six months after no use. I have lost so much money on nail polish that are now stuck because of months of no use.

    I like Essie nail polish, however I find that it does chip easily, I was disappointed with this because they can be pretty expensive. However, I found that if I used a gel top coat (pure ice) on top the polish lasted a lot longer without chipping. I think the thing that I like the most about Essie nail polish is the variety of colours that are available, especially the pastel colours. My favourite colour right now is Bahama Mama!!

    The essie line is one of my very favorite. There are so many colour choices. I work in the dental field and it's pretty tough on the nail polish. Gloves on and off all day. This product has great staying power.
