    Essie nail polishes have a good colour selection but they are poor quality. They come on so thin, making multiple coats needed. sometimes more than two. It also separates in the bottle very easily

    As others have mentioned, the colors Essie offers are beautiful, but the product is terrible. This nail polish will chip hours after applying it. This seems to happen no matter what top coat is used. Some high end salons in Montreal use this product, and I can't help but wondering if it's because they know you'll have to go back for a new mani soon after... There are many less expensive nail polishes available in drug stores that do a much better job, and look more professional. Don't waste your money.

    I love the colour spectrum of Essie nail polish but the longevity of the nail polish is really terrible. Even with a base coat and a finish protecting top coat, it still chips after one day of wear. Really disappointing :(

    Everyone was talking about Essie and I loved the colours in the jars so I bought a couple polishes. First off, they are EXPENSIVE!!! This was the worst polish I have ever tried except for dollar store polish. It stays on for maybe a day (even with a top coat) and chips off so easily. Also you need 3-4 coats to just get close to the colour in the bottle. Definitely doesn't live up to the hype and I won't be buying this again!

    Je n'aime pas ce vernis, car je dois faire 3 ou 4 couches pour qu'il recouvre complètement. De plus, il ne tient pas longtemps. En plus, il est quand même cher. Seul point positif, l'évantail de couleurs!

    I do not recommend this product. The nail Polish is very watery and I takes way too many coats to get the right colour. It also does not stay on for very long

    This nail polish is one of those ones that requires quite a few layers to get full coverage of the fingernail. And since it doesn't dry that fast on it's own, it can make painting your nails take forever, which for me, means lots of smudges.

    I bought and paid over $9.00 for this particular Essie Nail Polish as I liked the colour. It went on not too bad but boy does it chip. I put it on Saturday did my topcoat the whole nine yards. By Sunday mid-afternoon they were all chipped. I am not hard on my nails. I wear gloves when washing dishes and completing housework. I will admit trying other Essie nail polishes and they too are coming up short.

    For the price, you would expect this to be as good as OPI or somewhat similar in quality. But, it's definitely not! It flakes, forms bubbles, and doesn't last long at all! 2-3 days is the longest it's ever lasted on my nails. I hate essie's products because it's overpriced and not good whatsoever

    I've never purchased these unless in the deal bin for $2 or as part of a box. I'm not a huge snob about nail polish and tend to wear it only on my toes, as no matter what i do my fingers chip within 24 hours of putting on nail polish. While they offer a nice array of colours, I find there are lots of inexpensive options on the market that fit my needs.
