    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.

    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.

    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.

    One of my favorite nail polish. I like the consistency, not thin, not too thick; it makes applying it to the nails easier. I also didn't need several coats to get good coverage and color. The color lasted and didn't chip.

    I love the colour and the way it goes on. One problem is that it comes off easily. It's nice that it's easy to remove, however I never really have to since it always comes off the next day.

    Dressing up the digits happens occasionally so when I actually do paint my nails I like the polish to stay on for more than a day and and not need a lot of post paint attention. I purchased Essie during a clearance sale at a local grocery store and bought a variety of fun and practical colours. I really liked the variety and the lacquer didn't always need a second coat. I did get one very light nude colour that streaked a bit, however that would be my only complaint. My favorited is a dark cherry colour that is nice for work and my pretend social life ;)

    Probably my favourite brand of nail polish. It lasts the longest on my nails which is important because my nails go chip happy really fast. Not a huge fan of the colour variety but I know that over time, that will improve.

    Essie is a really good quality nail polish. Better alternative to most cheap polishes with really horrible chemicals. It is pricey but they have such an incredible variety of colours you can buy one and wear it for a long time.

    On the pricier side for me, but definitely worth it. The consistency is not too thin, and not too thick. It also dries insanely quick, and has a long lasting effect.
