    New favourite nailpolish brand! All the colours are amazing, the brush makes putting it on really easy, and it lasts for a really long time. I find the lighter shades go on the best, some of the darker ones are a little thicker and i find layering them properly takes a while and they tend to chip more. But all the pastels are amazing, I always get compliments, and they last for about a week and a half...which is a really long time on your hands!

    My favourite brand of nail polish! Essie makes a high quality product at a very reasonable price ($9-11 per bottle). My fave colours include Chinchilly, Fifth Avenue, Ballet Slippers and Plumberry.

    After trying just about every nail polish brand I could get my hands on, I finally decided to give Essie a try. I was always hesitant due to the slightly expensive price, but the quality of the product made it definitely worth it. Especially if combined with a good quality top coat, this brand of nail polish does not chip as easily as others. I actually tested this out by painting two nails with two different brands and going about a high activity day and the Essie nail polish did not chip, and the other brand did. My favourite go-to colours: Lilacism, Turquiose & Caicos, and Bikini So Teeny.

    I love Essie nail polish! For me it's a product I will only buy once in a while, as I do find it somewhat pricey. That being said, I LOVE the colors and the quality of the product. Doesn't matter what color I get, I always love it!

    I'll be an Essie customer for life (I just love it even more when it's on sale!)

    Dries fast, goes on smooth, and nice shine. Last as long as any quality nail polish at reasonable price.

    I love anything Essie! The first time i used their polishes WITH their own base coat/top coat, i was extremely impressed at (1) how quickly my nails dried (cause i always.. ALWAYS manage to mess up my nails) and (2) how well long they lasted without chipping, peeling or changing colors!

    Essie is hands down the best nail polish Ive ever used! It lasts forever, When it does chip, they are minor, never big pieces flaking off. They are pricey for sure, but I went out, got 5 colors (red, pink, dark purple, nude and a funky teal) and threw out a good 25 bottles of crappy polish in varying shades of those colors that had turned sticky, gunky, chunky and otherwise useless! If I think of all the $$ I spent on the crap ones, I would have SAVED getting Essie in the first place.

    Essie nail polish is most definitely one of the top polishes that are out there on the market today. What I love most about essie polish is the wide range of light colours they have. I'm not a very big fan of dark polish, and essie has the most brilliantly light colour ranges. From the perfect nude-pink colours to honeydew green to baby blue, it has been one of the best.

    Also, the quality of essie polishes are top-notch. Not too runny and not too thick. Perfection.

    Essie is definitely my favorite nail polish for many reasons. They have hundreds of cute colors for every season and style. The polish goes on smoothly, I have never had problems with chunky or sticky polish. I am also a huge fan of there print ads, I am an Advertising major, so I am accustomed to looking at ads and there ads are so cute and effective! I love essie nail polish, I am a loyal customer!!

    When it comes to nail polish quality can mean for a better manicure. Essie nail products are amazing quality, but that is not the only reason to love them! They also come in tons of fun shades and you can buy polish in every colour under the sun from sugary pink to ocean blue!

    My only recommendation is if you are planning on using this nail polish be sure to use an equally high quality top and base coat (optional) to keep the colour from chipping too soon!

    Overall I loved the Essie products and, yeah, since I am really attracted to a cute bottle I loved the clean, yet modern style is the Essie nail polish bottles!
