    I love the variety of colours

    I love the variety of colours offered by Essie. Especially in the nude and nuetral shades, as those are my go to. You can by Essie almost anywhere, and it does go on sale from time to time, so I like to stock up when it does. It goes on well, and I find it lasts a long time.

    had very high hopes

    Essie polishes are talked about all of the time as being some of the best...but honestly, I think they're completely over-rated. Especially for the price! One good thing i will say is the shade selection is GORGEOUS, and Essie is always coming out with great new colors. My problem is if I paint my nails in the morning with an Essie polish, I'm almost sure to have a chip or two by dinner time.

    Meh....

    very runny, some of the colors you have to put on multiple layers to get the true color. not worth the price tag. There are so many better brands of nail polish for a cheaper price out there. I would not recommend this nail polish.

    Spend Your $ Elsewhere

    I find Essie polishes to be a very runny, almost transparent (although coloured) polish. It takes between 3-4 sometimes 5 coats of polish to make an opaque layer that actually showcases the colour. As we all know at that many coats, your nails will be a mess. Like I said before, save your $ and spend it elsewhere!

    Don't waste your money

    This nail polish is great looking in the bottle, the colour selection is great. Unfortunately that's where it ends. I find the formula too runny and it takes about 5 coats to get the colour of the bottle.

    Doesn't last

    I bought a few of these because someone I trusted said the Polish was fantastic.

    She was wrong.

    No matter how you use it, Essie will always Crack, peel, just come off. I need a polish to last a few days. This doesn't last 2.

    I tried. Over and over. The quality is just not there.

    Ok

    Essir has several different color options. These don't chip as fast as alot of tge other products. The color comes out nicely. However it is not long lasting.

    My fav Nail Polish in affordability and quality!

    Essie is hands down my favourite for price point, colour selections and quality. I've had their nail polish stay on my nails for as long as 2 weeks sometimes. And that's Regular nail polish. The formula is so great it glides so smooth on my fingernails.

    Pretty good

    I have this nail polish in the black colour. It is a one coat polish, the only downside is you need to use yellow stopper otherwise your nails turn yellow once it's removed. I use it all the time as a base.
