    Wide variety of colours and shades. Love the coverage, two coats gives you a very opaque colour. Not easily chipped. Brush leaves crisp clean swipes. Love it

    Bon! Disons le Essie est une marque beaucoup trop dispendieuse pour ce qu'elle offre! Elle a une collection qui varie à tout les saisons et plus magnifique les une que les autres. Toute fois elle couvre pas! Les couches sont mince, transparente.. tu dois absolument utiliser un top coat ou ca s'effrite rapidement.

    Essie has a fantastic selection of colours. I own a few (licorice, bobbing for baubles, and one or two others) and I will totally buy Essie again but it does have a few down sides.
    First, I found it didn't dry as quickly as everyone said it does. By no means does it take forever to dry or anything, but I definitely had plenty of nail polish that dried faster than Essie already. I would say the drying time is reasonable.
    Second, though the colours are wonderful, I found the product went on rather thin and required an extra coat to get good solid colour. It looked a bit too streaky for my liking otherwise.
    Third, it seems to chip easily.
    All in all, still a good product despite the extra attention it needs to look its best. Sometimes I don't mind spending that bit of extra time on myself anyway.

    I love the color range from Essie and it's quite durable. The only problem is I dislike the brush head. I don't like it so skinny so it takes more stokes to cover the nail completely. I do find certain colors are less streaky than others. Not all colors apply the same. I tend to only buy them when they are on sale.

    Je ne recommande pas ce vernis. Il est très dispendieux, sèche très lentement et s'écaille rapidement. Le seul point positif c'est les différentes teintes, mais ça ne vaut pas la peine puisqu'il ne tient pas.

    J'aime beaucoup cette marque de vernis. Un peu plus chère que d'autres marque mais elle est très efficace. Le pinceau permet une belle application sans dégâts et les couleurs offertes sont vraiment belles.

    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.

    Essie nail polish offers great variety in colour and finishes. However, one thing I have notice is that the consistency/formula for different colours varies. This is quite annoying as some colours will require three coats when some are opaque with just one! But overall, a great product to fall in love with!

    I do enjoy this brand of nail polish even though it can sometimes be on the more pricey end. I will only buy it if it is on sale. They habe a good selection of colors and the polish does last a good time.

    I don't understand why this brand is such a favourite? I find that my nails chip within two days of application with or without a top coat or base coat. I've tried everything to extend the wear, but to no avail. I love the colour (LOVE the colours), but I just can't get past the fact that cheaper nail polish wears better.
