    One of my favourite brands of nail polish! I have a lot of their colours and Essie is always coming out with new ones. I find that this brand of nail polish works best for me. It rarely ever chips and usually lasts about 5-7 days for me.

    I find that their formulas are very hit or miss. Not sure if it's depending on the season, but I find that some of them are amazing and other's are so sheer that there is no possible way to build up to a fully opaque finish. I very much like their nail treatments, base and top coats.

    I love Essie nail polish. It lasts the longest out of any polish I've tried, and I love the huge range of colours they have! The only downside is that it is rather pricey, but if you always buy it on sale then you should be okay!

    Essie works well with my working hands. I work physically demanding jobs, all with my hand and Essie never seems to chip as much as the rest of the nail polish's out there. It does chip but not as noticeable.

    I quit wearing nail polish because it seemed to chip so quickly. Then I discovered Essie and I love it. It lasts and lasts! They have a lovely selection of colours. I'm sold on it!

    Ahhh - I'm SO torn on Essie! On one hand they do have fabulous colors and release new ones often, but on the other hand I really don't like the brush and find it goes on a bit streaky so I have to use more polish to get enough coverage on my nails.

    It wears decently - though I use a different brand's top coat - so overall I have to give it a thumbs up and will continue to buy shades that intrigue me...but overall I like a few other brand's better.

    Essie always releases so many beautiful colors, especially during collection launches. I love that these nail polishes have long staying power, don't chip too quickly, and apply really beautifully. One of my favorite nail brands.

    Essie has very pretty colours. It went on my nails good and dried pretty fast. I love how many colours there are. They make some really nice glitter ones also. Good quality and not to thick or to runny. You can buy it at Walmart for only $6-7. I would recommend.

    i love essie nail polish. I personally believe its one of the best nail polishes out in the market. There are many colors to choose from. My nails do not chip until approximately a week. Sometimes my nails do not chip at all with this nail polish.

    This is my fav nail polish but only cause of the million different colours they come in. Literally every shade possible is available! I find the price to be a bit onthe high side but do drop well in the price when on sale. I don't like how long it takes for it to dry though, I find it stays tacky for quite some time and often end up having to redo nails !! Formal minus the drying power is great and they are very pigmented.
