    I recently tried this nailpolish when I received a free sample. I have to say I am very impressed with it. Normally I am an OPI girl, but I found that I may just have to switch over to Essie. The best part is that it dries very fast. I am impatient and often end up smudging my nails. The Essie polish dried almost immediatly. Also, it has a bit more of a matte finish tthan some other ones, I like that it isn't as glossy as some.

    I would say that Essie is definitely on par with other brands that charge about the same amount (Approx. $8).

    I had a lot of problem lately with nail polish. I got cheap ones and they took forever to try and even when they did still got nicks in them. I decided to try essie because I had heard a lot of good things about it. I was a little apprehensive because it was a lot of one bottle of nail bottle. The price was definitely worth it because it dried fairly quickly and went on my nail very smooth. I also like the shine it had. I would definitely recommend this product.

    I picked up Essie's mini duo nail polish for C$4.99.
    They are my first Essie's nail polish to add to my collection.
    I think these are great colours for Summer.
    The Super Bossa Nova took two coats but the Braziliant took about 4 coats to get it right!

    Essie has a great range of colors of polish available with a great formula that lasts pretty long before chipping.

    Love Essie nailpolish! Especially because it's my name...but also, they have bright pretty colors that last forever! They have so many different color options and you're not limited.

    I love Essie nail polish, okay? I know it's not cheap, but I cant help but love it. They have an awesome selection of nail polishes with beautiful, long-lasting colors. It's easy to apply and you usually only need 2-3 coats of polish for a beautiful nail salon look. This has got to be one of my favorite brands of nail polish, not to mention how cute the bottles are!

    So my current favourite nail polish is Essie in Tart Deco. It's this great peachy coral colour - almost cantaloupe - that looks fantastic with a tan, and just feels like summer! Essie brushes aren't my favourite, I actually prefer the brush and formula of OPI, but I haven't been able to find a comparable colour, so Essie it is. Just be careful during application and throw a top-coat on after.

    I have a few Essie nail polishes and I kind of love them. The thin formula is nice, but usually need a second coat. That being said, I find I need a second coat with most polishes I use. Every summer I paint my toes red, and Forever Yummy is by far my favourite red this year. It's a bright red that really stands out on my toes, and I love that the brush is small enough that I can paint my baby toes.

    I tried Really Red when I got it in a sample kit, and I really liked it, the color was beautiful. But I think it's kind of hard to apply, there seems to be a lot of polish on the brush. But I still love it. :) I also have a pearly pink color, and I don't love that color as much.
