    Love it, but it’s expensive

    I really enjoy essie brand polish, I love the selection of colours they always have and I do feel that when apllied it lasts a good long time. I do however feel it’s expensive and therefore I don’t purchase often

    Great choice if you want a variety of options!

    I own a lot of Essie nail polish and I love it because there are so many shade options! I do feel like it is a little expensive for the quality but overall not a bad product!

    Nice nail polish

    Love the product and the brush is wide and roundish. Very nice to use. I have the color stop drop and shop. It's a dark pink-red color. Wearing on my toes now. I love a good hot pink so if I see in store a bright pink color I will most definitely pick it up. Love the way it applies the very nice formula.

    Great but pricey!

    I'm a recent convert to Essie, but my collection has been growing rapidly (to the detriment of my bank account...oops)! They have a huge range of shades that mix and match with each other really well (I like pairing peach daiquiri with ballet slippers for a fun, girly look). Every colour I've tried has had excellent longevity and does not chip easily. Although I would classify them as my favourite nail polish brand, I have a hard time recommending them to others because of the stupid high price tag. $13 for nail polish is just too much! I've bought all of my Essie polishes on sale, and I would recommend everyone else to do that as well. Shoppers often marks them down to $7 or $8 (which is a fair price, I think), and they sometimes have them in their clearout bins for $3, so keep an eye out for that!

    This color surpassed my expectations

    This color surpassed my expectations. I love it! This is the perfect color for me.I think it might be a bit too cool toned for my warm skin, but it's still gorgeous! This would really suit cool tones I think :) I think it's sophisticated and has nice neutral undertones. I put a matte coat on top and I think it turned out pretty darned nice! It did take two coats.

    chips a lot

    I'm a big fan of nail polish and essie has a lot of beautiful colours that I always want to try out. The issue with essie is that the nail polish doesn't last for much more than 1 day without starting to chip. If you are worried about re-applying constantly than I would go for a high quality product like CDN.

    Great colours!

    My very first Essie nail polish was the "Ladylike" colour and the dusty rose colour is so beautiful! The neutral colour looks professional and I always get compliments about it. Since then, I've been trying out different colours from the brand. The price is a bit steep but they seem to always be on sale at my local drugstore.

    All the colours!

    I've tried a couple of the Essie nail polish, from their matte collection, and also their nail reinforcing polish. The quality is great but their price can be a bit steep for their value, i always wait for a store to have them on sale.

    Essie!

    Essie comes in a huge range of colours. Some stores sell more variety than others but you can even buy online and find the exact colour you’re looking for. This nail polish applies easily and dries in a reasonable time. I find Essie nail polish also stays on longer than other nail polish brands.

    Pricey but good.

    I have an issue with most nail polish staying on without chipping but Essie lasts a good 3-4 days for me provided I use a proper base and top coat. Great colour selection. I usually buy when on sale.
