    I love how wide the colour selection is, and the cute bottles are adorable. When I get to about half the bottle, the brush is too thin to be as effective and the formula dries a bit to be thicker. It also takes maybe 3 coats for some colours to be opaque, which is irritating. It does dry really quickly. I find that a top coat is necessary though, or else it'll look too thin and chip in a day, but that's true of many nail polishes.

    Essie has many wonderful colours and their formula lasts a lot longer than many of the other salon brands I've tried. I've had a couple of days more use per manicure using Essie products than with many of their competition. I love their colours, they almost look edible. Great product.

    I LOVE Essie nail polish! Out of all the nail polishes i have tried, Essie is my favourite because it goes on effortlessly, dries quickly and lasts without chipping like no other. It's slightly more expensive than other brands, but I find the quality surpasses all others. Plus it comes in some pretty amazing colours. Over all, I definitely recommend Essie nail polish!

    As someone who reviews products for a living, it's hard for me to say that I live and die by one brand, but when it comes to nail polish, I am a HUGE fan of Essie.

    The colours are fab -- yes -- but I love the fact that it dries fast, and doesn't chip.

    This week I had the pleasure of testing out the new summer collection. I LOVE the new Haute in the Heat colour (the raspberry hue!) Great for this summer!

    I also made a fun watermelon DIY with the Haute in the Heat and Ruffles and Feathers colours!

    I LOVE Essie nail polish! The colours dry true to the wet colour and last a good while (if you use a decent topcoat). This is another polish that gets stripped when using dishsoap - but if you don't soak your hands in greasefighter the day OF putting it on, the next day tends to be alot better.

    Only downside - shopper's prices it at 10$ and I find it rarely goes on sale for a Decent (below 5$) price.

    Essie is my favourite brand of nail polish! Every time I go to the store I always find myself gravitating towards their products, even if another one initially caught my eye. I'll admit they're not exactly cheap, but most of the time I buy them when they go on sale so I feel better about the price, and at the end of the day they're great quality so I feel that they're worth spending a little extra. I love the shape of the brush and they have an amazing selection of colours that are always on trend. I decided to try out a couple of their nail treatments too and they've since become staples of mine. I love their base coat and my favourite polishes are 'Chinchilly', 'Ballet Slippers', 'Size Matters', 'Enuf is Enuf', and 'Shearling Darling'.

    I have a new Spring Love! It's Essie's Mojito Madness! Love the pale shade and the gloss. Found it had really good staying power with little or no chipping after 5 days (using a top coat of course). Can't wait to try more shades!
