    It's a pretty good brand that has a lot of pretty colours. I find that the quality is hit and miss as i have it in a mint green that chips quickly compared to a bright pink. Not too sure if it's just a defect but over all i love essie colours

    I'm a fan!
    Great colors and easy to apply. The consistency is pretty even and I find it looks good/true to color after 2 coats. Some of the pale colors like Ballet Slippers and Mademoiselle are a little streaky, but the darker colors are great.
    Chipping is average for nail polish and can be minimized with a good top coat.
    Essie is still one of my go-to polish brands.

    I know this is an almost unanimously loved nail polish, but I find it chips very easily. It applies smoothly for me and looks great, just not for long. The texture, shine and colour are nice, but don't expect your perfectly painted nails to last for more than half a week.

    A liitle expensive, but goes on nicely and doesn't chip easily. Love the colours and they look lovely on.

    I love Essie's colours but the only problem I have is that it is quite streaky. But the colours are stunning and the nail polish is really good quality. It rarely chips, which I absolutely love.

    I love Essie nail polish! It is by far the best polish I have tried. There is such a wide variety of colours available, which i love. I find that it goes on very nicely without tons of streaks or clumps. The only thing I don't like is the price. I don't enjoy paying around $10 per bottle. That being said, I would rather pay that than buy a bunch of cheap polishes that don't work as well. I definitely recommend giving this brand a try!

    Essie is the best nail polish line. Always the best colors. Although the price is quite dumb($10 for a bottle), I still cannot find another line that offers such great colors.

    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. :-(
