Essie Nail Polish is often on sale, so I thought I would try a three pack of coral hues - peach dacquiri, come here, off the wall. I skipped the base coat and applied to clean nails. I applied two coats and one top coat of clear quick dry. The polish lasted, on average between the three, 5 days before showing the first chip. I was impressed it lasted up to 10 days with just little touch ups and another slather of top coat. For the price this is great value and durability. I love the colours too, they are endless.

I'm currently using their red polish, 924 Head Mistress. It's not a firetruck red as I had hoped, but the mature shade it results in is pleasant. The polish is a bit watery, which isn't exactly a problem, but when combined with the narrow brush it makes it a bit harder to paint your nails efficiently. It doesn't need two coats, which is great, but it still chips easily. In fact, I have yet to find a nail polish that doesn't chip easily - and I don't use my hands for anything but typing so you'd think I wouldn't have a problem. I'm satisfied with Essie products in general, and the price is alright, but there could be more effort put into easy application (bigger brush, please).

J'aime bien la marque de vernis essie ,mais je trouve qu'il ne tient pas super bien sur mes ongles. Je dois refaire mes ongles aux 2 jours. Beaucoup de belles couleurs par contre.

Sable Collar is a part of her Winter 2013 nail polish collection and the collection is filled with rich, dark tones with a few pastels to bring more light into the collection. Essie Sable Collar ($10 CAD for 13.5ml/0.46 fl oz) is a describe as a luxurious pearlscent cocoa plum. It is cool toned reddish brown with warm purple micro shimmer running through it. Overall, I really enjoy this colour and formula by Essie and I will be purchasing more of it in the future.

I like the unique shape of the bottle and the price. I have the pink and green ones, very pretty and wears well. Wish they made bigger bottles of their stuff tho !

I think the price is a little high (because you want to buy as many shades as possible ha!). I like the cute names. I think the staying power is between a week to two weeks. Usually one coat works. There is no detectable smell.

One of my favourite brands of Nail Polish but unfortunately I do not purchase it often as it retails for approximately 10.99$ although usually goes on sale for 7.99$ that still seems much for Nail Polish when most are regularly 7.99$ or so.
I do love the colour selection, more than most Nail Polish brands offer. I also love the seasonal collection they release throughout the year but I do not like that thats the only time it can be purchased, I have often fallen in love with a colour that was only seasonal.
Some of the lighter/nude shades require a third coat which can be annoying because it prolongs drying time and work but the darker or brighter shades give me no problem when it comes to application. Also, the brush is smaller than most brushes which make it easier to apply and less likely to make a mess on the sidewalls of the nails or the cuticle if you are careful.

In Canada the average price is $9.00 a hefty piece of coin for a bottle of polish. I wish Essie offered more skin tone friendly colors, as a dark-skin nail maid (internet slang for nail polish lover) I feel that most of their light colored polishes only look good on their lighter skinned hand models. I don't think this is intentional but an overall observance of the beauty community. I will still buy from Essie but hope they can implement a chart to help all skin types find shades that suit them.

Agree with other reviewers, can be a hit or miss depending on the color. Some of the lighter colors can come off sheer and streaky, requiring many layers. Essie does make the best nudes and pinks though!

Essie is hit or miss in their limited edition colours, however their core collection is rock solid. Full of dozens of neutral colors and lots of brights to suit any taste. The bottles are elegant and practical with lovely skinny brushes that hold a lot of product. It's perfect for those of us with small, deeply curved nails.
