    Went for a pedicure with my girlfriends in Toronto last week and picked out a coral based Essie nail polish and it looks great. I've had it on for about a week now and it has stayed put, not smudging, or peeling. Great product and beautiful colour!

    These are fantastic nail polishes. They have a great selection of colours to choose from, they are on the higher price for drugstore nail polishes but their quality is really good, you will get quite a few days of wear with these without chipping. The formula is on the thinner side which is nice because it doesnt just peel off.

    I find the quality/effectiveness of Essie nailpolishes totally vary from colour to colour. I have some that last a long time before chipping and others that chip right away :( As a result i typically choose not to pay full price for Essie nail polishes

    When I first got into nail polish, I really liked Essie and bought a ton of it. As time goes on, I realize that they're formula can be pretty hit and miss. I would rather spend my money on a brand with a more consistent formula. That said, they do have some pretty killer colours!

    Most nail polishes chip within the first day (I lift weights everyday so my hands are beat up), however, I find Essie polish has way better staying power then most. Sure it is a little on the pricey side but for the quality I would pay it over and over. They always have great colors and each season bring out a fun selection. I have a ton of colors and do not buy any other brand anymore.

    I love Essie nail polish, I have so many! It's a little pricey but the colours are beautiful and they dry rather quickly. Of course like any nail polish I would recommend applying a base coat first and finish off with a protecter to make the nail polish last longer. Overall a great nail polish, highly recommended!

    I absolutely love this nail polish. Almost all of my nail polish are from this brand. I like the colors and the fact that they dried pretty quickly. They are expensive but they are worth it!

    Essie Nail Polish is amaziing for their lighter shades... I mean they're all great but as a nude or very light pink nail polish lover I know I can pick a shade form the essie display and I'm not going to have to worry about the results. The shades are always opaque(unless otherwise specified) and the colours are true to what you see in the bottle.

    Definitely one of the best brands of nail polish to use. Great range of colours, great application and it is quite durable. Looks fantastic! one of the only brands I use!

    This nail polish is one of those ones that requires quite a few layers to get full coverage of the fingernail. And since it doesn't dry that fast on it's own, it can make painting your nails take forever, which for me, means lots of smudges.
