    It's ok, not my favourite brand

    I have a few Essie polishes now, but I have to say they aren't my favourite. One was too runny and thin, and the other is a glitter topper which is ok, but not something I would buy again. I suspect that as with other nail polish companies, you get different quality and coverage depending on the polish colour/texture. It's not my go-to polish though.

    Sympa

    Les couleurs sont très sympas, une fois posées elles sont brillantes et dure quelques jours. Les vernis restent peut être un peu cher pour la contenance et le temps qu’il dure !

    Goes on great but chips fast

    I love the finished look of Essie polished— so smooth! But without a top coat they do not last, especially if you work with your hands. Can’t beat the colour range, however.

    Average Drugstore Polish

    The brush they use is very small and not great compared to other main streams brands, though they just released a notice saying they are increasing the size which is great. They do a have a wide variety of colours but wear time is ok nothing spectacular.

    Good nail polish

    I love applying nail polish and Essie was my go to brand for a while. However, lately, I have noticed that many colours are quite transparent and require application of several coats before achieving the true colour. The polish also takes a while to dry and chips rather quickly. Once applied, the colour is rich and bright and will stay nice for a couple of days!

    I love the variety of colours

    I love the variety of colours offered by Essie. Especially in the nude and nuetral shades, as those are my go to. You can by Essie almost anywhere, and it does go on sale from time to time, so I like to stock up when it does. It goes on well, and I find it lasts a long time.

    My favourite brand of polish right now

    I just recently discovered Essie and I love the polish! They have on trend colours and the quality is great. While the price is a little steep, it's worth it and even better when it's on sale.

    Meilleure vernis

    J'aime vraiment beaucoup ce vernis. Je trouve que c'est le meilleure qualité/prix. Il en a de meilleure qualité mais beaucou plus chers. Bonne tenue. Beaux choix de couleurs.

    Overall good but inconsistent

    I've purchased many Essie nail products over many years. I love their colour selections and the price is great too. Generally I like how the product is easy to apply and the brush size is good. However I find that the products are inconsistent in how well they stay - some colours stay on really well but other ones are chipped and flaked off by the end of the day. I'll probably keep buying new colours from them though!

    Loin de mes préféré

    Le prix n'est pas exorbitant néanmoins cela à quand même un coût plus cher que certains autres vernis, et c'est ça qui me dérange.
    Le gros HIC à la chose c'est clairement le temps de séchage, c'est assez long.
    Par contre les couleurs proposé sont très belles, et la durée est quand même intéressante
    J'ai testé, j'ai plus ou moins aimé, donc si le temps de séchage n'est pas si dérangeant et le prix, je recommande.
