    Essie is one of my favorite polish brands. The color selection is fantastic, and most of the formulas are really great. Some of the lighter colors tend to streak a bit so you need 3 coats, but the mid to dark range 2 coats tops, some even 1. I find this polish lasts a long time on me too.

    i got 2 polishes 1 year ago for free and they are awesome. it's not really for my budget,too expensive,so i look out if there are sales sometimes.but it's a great brand. they have great color selection. i own also the top coat polish from them, i bought it on sale as well, and its awesome. easy to apply and dries fast. love it, but don;t buy often this brand, because of the price. :-(

    I keep buying Essie nail polishes, lured in by the awesome range of colours they offer, right on trend. But I find they chip easily and some can go on quite streaky. I like how they continually offer new colours that match the season. My current favs this season are Play Date (purple) and Orange it's Obvious. The colours are so vibrant and unique that I constantly get compliments.

    I love Essie nail polish! For me it's a product I will only buy once in a while, as I do find it somewhat pricey. That being said, I LOVE the colors and the quality of the product. Doesn't matter what color I get, I always love it!

    I'll be an Essie customer for life (I just love it even more when it's on sale!)

    I recently tried this nailpolish when I received a free sample. I have to say I am very impressed with it. Normally I am an OPI girl, but I found that I may just have to switch over to Essie. The best part is that it dries very fast. I am impatient and often end up smudging my nails. The Essie polish dried almost immediatly. Also, it has a bit more of a matte finish tthan some other ones, I like that it isn't as glossy as some.

    I would say that Essie is definitely on par with other brands that charge about the same amount (Approx. $8).

    Dries fast, goes on smooth, and nice shine. Last as long as any quality nail polish at reasonable price.

    I had a lot of problem lately with nail polish. I got cheap ones and they took forever to try and even when they did still got nicks in them. I decided to try essie because I had heard a lot of good things about it. I was a little apprehensive because it was a lot of one bottle of nail bottle. The price was definitely worth it because it dried fairly quickly and went on my nail very smooth. I also like the shine it had. I would definitely recommend this product.

    I picked up Essie's mini duo nail polish for C$4.99.
    They are my first Essie's nail polish to add to my collection.
    I think these are great colours for Summer.
    The Super Bossa Nova took two coats but the Braziliant took about 4 coats to get it right!

    I love anything Essie! The first time i used their polishes WITH their own base coat/top coat, i was extremely impressed at (1) how quickly my nails dried (cause i always.. ALWAYS manage to mess up my nails) and (2) how well long they lasted without chipping, peeling or changing colors!
