First Time Essie has failed me.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't paint my fingernails very often, but my toenails never go without a coat of polish during sandal season. Essie is my go-to brand, so I didn't hesitate to purchase the Treat, Love & Colour in "Sheers to You" to try and encourage my fingernails to stretch back out. After 3 weeks of use, the ends of almost every single fingernail is dried out and cracked, and one nail broke from side to side, right down to the quick, which normally never happens to me. It's now going to take months with very short nails to grow out the damage. Severely disappointed in this one, since it's marketed as something to help your nails.

Great for Lazy Nail gurus!

Essie has come a long way since the first flat polish I tried several years back. This strengthener doubles as a polish, and is amazeballs!

The brush applies the polish neatly on my nails, having a slight curve to the edges - very forgiving for my sloppy nail polish application skills.

With two coats, I have enough polish on for full coverage, and the polish lasts me about 5-7 days before it starts chipping.

As I'm lazy about nails, I don't use a bottom or top coat, and this polish seems to hold its own through life - dishes, putting coats on 10 minutes after applying polish, cleaning, normal daily life - without chipping throughout the week.

I like the muted colours, and opted for the Indi-go-for-it - it's a nice muted lavender shade.

Overall, I'm impressed and love it.

Essie Treat Love and Color

I have always used Essie nail products so I was excited to try this new alternative out. I usually have Shellac or Gel nails so this was a great polish to keep my nails healthy and hard outside of having to go to a salon. Awesome colour selection and does the job well. Only thing I noticed is that it takes a few coats of polish to get the pigment to show well. I would still recommend overall!

essie makes my nails feel loved!

I was pleasantly surprised by the essie TLC line of polishes. I am a nail polish junkie and have tried almost every product out there. What I love about the Treat, Love & Color line is how my nails feel cared for with just a coat of colour. I can put this nail polish on without a base or top coat in a matter of minutes - it dries within 10 minutes. When I removed it, my nails looked a lot less dry than usual and the next day they still look less dry than usual. So impressed! I love the shade I tried: Mauve-tivation. A lovely purpley pink that is super flattering.

Smooth and Opaque!

The formula for these (I have 5 now) are a bit more fluid than typical Essie polishes, but still almost opaque in one coat and self-level very nicely. I love that there is some nail care built into these polishes and the array of shades are quite nice and wearable for day to day. I have one more shade on order so I am looking forward to trying them all!

Opaque and Heals Brittle Nails

I received this product free for testing purposes.
This product is realy opaque after just one coat and does not chip as easily as other nail products I have tried. I also find that my nails look healthier after I remove the polish and like my nails can still breath.

Essie is perfect!

This product had a good brush, the wearing was nice and by applying two coats as instruction, the strength was good enough. I'd like to try other colors too.

Fell in love with the colour

I don't usually stray from the usually nudes and reds but decided to try the "Steely Grey Blue", a light almost baby blue, and I was NOT disappointed. The colour was identical to the picture and the bottle contents (no lighter or darker - sometimes the bottle contents are deceiving). I followed the instructions of two coats and added strength. The layers were not too light, and had full coverage. The one thing I wasn't overly impressed with was the drying time, it took longer than average to dry. So far it has been 4 days with the polish on and only the very tip of one of my nails the polish chipped off. Good quality polish, great colours, I would definitely try the other colours and purchase this product again!

Beautiful nail colour

I love Essie nail polishes, but the Treat Love & Color really impressed me with it's opaque finish with just two coats. I got the In a Blush, and I'm absolutely in love with it.

Pretty colour, nice formula

I got the Essie Treat Love & Color nail polish in the shade Indi-Go For It! from ChickAdvisor in exchange for an honest review. This colour is a lovely pale muted blue. The formula was very easy to work with and took two coats for full coverage. The flat brush also made it easy to get the polish exactly where I needed it. The only reason I chose 'undecided' for whether I intend to purchase it again that this line has a lot of light and neutral shades. I tend to prefer brighter or darker colours.
