    This is my go to polish brand. The shine and lasting wear is really good. Sometimes it will last me just as long as a gel manicure! I love that the brush is slightly smaller - I can be more precise with application. They have a fantastic range of colors with super cute names.

    Really great quality. I have 2 Essie polishes now, my most recent is Meet Me At Sunset: it's a lovely tomato orange shade. What I love about it is that I feel like it has built-in top coat in it... I apply this colour and when it dries it's already super shiny so no need to add a top coat. It's also great b/c I can notice that it dries faster than other polishes, so I can put 2 coats on super quick. This shade worked best for me when I had a neutral base coat underneath to really bring out the colour. It wasn't good for going over top of an existing/chipped off base colour; the edges of the underparts without a base showed through.

    There aren't enough stars for me to put on this product I recently bought this a few weeks ago to try for water marbling and cannot get enough of it the only downside is the brush is very small so to get a nice un streaky finish it"s kind of difficult but the pigment is great it dries fast and there"s loads of colors! Overall a good nail polish in gorgeous colours but for the price am not convinced they are worth it.

    J'aime beaucoup les vernis d'Essie.Ils offrent de belles teintes et ils en ont beaucoup!Le vernis tient bien et est très joli sur l'ongle.Par contre, je trouve qu'ils sont un peu dispendieux pour quelqu'un comme moi qui ne met du vernis que rarement!

    What I love most about Essie nail polishes are their colour selection. They have probably released hundreds of variations of pink from the time they first launched as a company. My favourite type of colours to wear are pastels and neutrals, which is why Essie is one of my favourite brands. The only problem is that their nail polishes can be a hit or miss, individually. While you may love one, you might hate another, which is what I've found over the years. Some nail polishes might only require 1 coat while others might require 3, even if they're both light pink shades. Some formulas may be streakier than others. Personally, another aspect I don't quite like about their nail polishes is the brush - it is small and round, which means I need to go back and forth more often, and doesn't fan out as nicely as other brushes. Lastly, I feel like Essie nail polishes come with less product then their competitors (though, I have never completely used up a nail polish before). Overall though, I do like the brand and their products. Just try to test out colours before buying or search Google for specific colour reviews.

    love Essie!!! so many different shades- I literally have a rainbow of Essie nail polishes. Though it can take awhile to dry-- I always put a fast drying clear top coat to help with that!

    Essie nail polish has always been my go to nail polish. The colours are beautiful and creative. It applies smooth and easy. I especially love their "good to go" top coat where it dries up any nail polish in a couple of minutes. All the colours are brilliant and vibrant.
