I have lots of Essie polishes. They will chip in about 3 days with normal wear and tear. (Wearing gloves when you wash dishes helps.) With a top coat and a base coat, they can last as long as one...

Less pink and shimmery than it looks in the bottle. On my nails, it’s flatter and whiter. Still a pretty shad but far from exceptional. As others have said, the main issue is the...

1 coat is very sheer, 2 coats is my favorite semi-sheer, 3 coats just makes it slightly darker and thicker, but for me 2 coats is best. It's a pink peach tone that's a samon warmer pink vs neutral...

This is bad. My nails are now matted and rippled. I let them dry for 8+ hours and used thin coats when painting. To say the least, I am embarrassed of my hands.

Essie makes the best nail polish formula, even better than tbe more expensive brands like Chanel. This being said, I think these lighter tones are hard to pull off and tend to be streaky. And...

I got this because so many people regard it as their holy grail. Sadly, I really don't like it.
This is a pale, sheer, slightly off-white. It doesn't self-level, and therefore can be very...

A thicker very shiny top coat that looks like you *might* have gotten a luxurious gel manicure for longer (but its a regular nail polish). Makes my nails stay shinier for longer than all the other...

I have a love hate relationship with this polish and have thought on several occasions about tossing it out because it’s so damn difficult to apply without streaks and requires a minimum of 3 coats...

I was looking for a vampy, 90's inspired, deep browned berry shade and this is it! Goes on smoothly too and looks perfect with two coats.

2023 Summer shade, YOU DO BLUE is a medium toned periwinkle blue. It has a slight lavender irridecense which gives it a lift but also cheapens it making it look too electric. Treat it as a fun...

Beautiful Spring/Summer color bright coral pink but not gaudy. Went on like a dream.

This is a beautiful bright warm, corally pink. It lasts on me for at least a week with Essie base coat and a top coat. Excellent quality and a lovely colour for the Spring.

Elegant deep creamy gray with slight cool undertone. Dries quickly to a very high shine after two coats. Not as predictable edgy as black but very sophisticated indeed. I have minimal tip chipping...
The color is lovely, the application is difficult and streaky. You'll need a full 3 coats put down fairly thick and "floated" (the technique of trying not to leave brush marks). When you put top...

This is a really lovely olive green on my skin. It’s opaque in 2 coats, easy to apply, and so far it’s worn well with my Pacifica Plant Magic top coat. I’ve also worn it with OPI Dazzling Dew Drop,...

I have bought this polish twice now! I haven't really worn it as a base colour (except for an accent nail here and there) but as a stamping polish, it is PERFECTION. And I love the new wide brush....

Streaky, awful, just a mess! Penny talk is a pretty color, but the formula may be the most awful mail polish I have ever used. The best way I’ve found to deal with it is to use just one stroke. If...
