    a favourite nail polish

    These nail polishes are amazing, they come is sooo many colurs and look fantastic on. I personally own about 30 and i am happy with pretty much every colour i have. They have pretty great pigmentation and i only need 2-3 coats and they have a very high quality formula that never ruins my natural nails. The price is not that bad -around $10- and is on the more expensive side of drugstore. The shade range is absolutely fabulous and they always have new colours coming out for holidays and seasons. The also have different types; gel and shimmer etc., however the classic is for sure my go to.
    the nail polish lasts me quite a long wear, a solid 3 days without chips and look great for a week. I also love their top coats that help the polish last longer. Without a top coat I find the colour will chip easier.

    Really easy to apply

    I do love Essie Nail Polish. These polish are really easy to use and they comes in a lot of colours. Choose the right colour for you, apply it on your nail and VOILA! Beautiful result at home. The nail polish inside the bottle don't dry easily unless you are letting the bottle oppened for way too long. Plus, there is some marble inside the bottle to prevent it. Essie Nail Polish is my girly weakness.

    Average nail polish

    I love the shade range of essie nail polishes however I dont think that the polishes stay very long on the nails for the price point.My nail polish typically chips within 2 or 3 days if I wear essie polishes.

    Good nailpolish!

    So I bought quite a few Essie nailpolishes because I found the bottles so cute and they have the best colors! But I have to say, you do have to put quite a few layers for some of the lighter colors for them not to be transparent. They do chip a little but if you pass the brush on the tip of your nails, it helps not to chip as fast. When I take my time and do 2-4 layers, making sure I put nailpolish on the tip (almost under) my nails, they do last for about 2 weeks before they start looking bad. I do love that the nailpolish is very easy to remove with a normal nailpolish remover. I would recommend buying them, but wait till they're on special because they are a bit more expensive than they should be in my opinion.

    Nice colours

    I have a few Essie nail polishes in my collection. I do like the brush and that it's easy to use. I find the polish formula to be thinner than I prefer. Wear time is average. Essie has a lot of good colours available.

    They dry faster than most brands. I also like the brush, it makes the nail polish easier to apply. Essie offers a good range of colors. I like their nude colors the best. I don't think they stay long enough though.

    Essie nail polish is my favourite nail polish. I am obsessed with the colour selection. It is easily applied and lasts decently. The price is reasonable, but I take advantage of when this product goes on sale!

    Love the variety of colors but I find it chips fairly easy. Good price for a drugstore brand nail polish, not too thin or thick so you only need a coat or two and your good!

    Like most regular nail polishes it doesn't last long on your nails. The colour selection is amazing. There are so many different colours to choose from.

    I was so excited to recently try the Essie Nail Polish. I bought a couple of bottles Pink an Purple for spring. The colors were very beautiful when they were applied but within one day they were already pealing and coming off! I removed it off my nails and applied it again with a clear top hard coat. It worked so much better when doing that and kept my nails looking beautiful for over a week. If your going to use this nail polish then I would suggest you give that a try if you have the same issues that I did. I do however love the variety of colors they offer.
