    I find that sometimes the formula is a little watery, making me have to use a few coats, but the variety of colors they have is what gets me every time. It is a little more pricey than other drugstore brands but it is worth it

    Essie Nail Polish is very good. They have many very nice colors, and the quality is great. I see these on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart a lot.

    This is a good nail polish brand. A ton of colours with new ones added every season. Kind of on the higher end price wise for drugstore polish, but seems to last a while before chipping.

    I was not sure if I was certain that this product was worth the hype so I waited a long time before tying it out. Well, I wish I tried it sooner!
    The brush is narrow but it aids application and makes it so easy and precise. The colours are wonderful and so pigmented. Essie is one of my longest wearing polishes.

    Essie Nail Polish has several type: Shimmer, Shiny and Matte. All of them glide on easily and have a 4-5 day wear without any chipping or peeling on natural nails. Essie also has an excellent variety of colors to choose from. some stores carry Essie for $4.99 but usually it is carried at $8.50 and up (USD). The stores which carry the cheaper bottles appear to be colors from the previous year but those colors work as well and usually it just repackaging with a new name, There may be a different formula used but the polish seem to be consistent.

    Essie and Zoya are probably one of my favorite Nail Polish brands that cost less than 12 dollars a piece. Essie has a huge variety of nail polish colors, but I particularly like their pastels. They have a few colors that other nail polish brands don't have as well.

    The formula of Essie nail polish is easy to apply and dry quickly. The texture is not tacky but not so liquidy either-- it's an ideal texture that makes it spreading onto your finger nail a lot easier. Some of their polishes are better than others, but ultimately, I feel that Essie nail polish has a decent price range for the quality of their products.

    I REALLY like Essie nail polish, the colors are really nice and they have a good pigmentation so you don't have to apply more then 2 coats!

    I don't really like the colour selection and I find the brushes are just okay.

    Love this polish. Stays on longer than most and has so many colours to choose from! I have a few Essie staples in my nail polish collection. I usually get them when they're on sale though :)
