essie Nail Polish

Good

Gorgeous color and great polish. I have never bought this brand before, but I liked the color. The polish is thick and the color is well pigmented; one coat is all I need. It leaves an amazing shine. This could be my new favorite brand.

I’ve been using Essie nail polish for years and it’s never failed me. The bristles of the brush are thinner but the edges are round so it makes application really smooth and easy. I like Essie’s formula because it’s a bit thinner but doesn’t sacrifice opacity. While I CAN apply 2 coats for a really opaque finish, I’m really happy with just one coat. My polish usually lasts two weeks on my fingers when I use 1 coat of polish and top coat(longer on my toes without chipping). Berry Naughty is a really beautiful dark red that suits all seasons. The polish itself seems to last until the bottle is finished, without getting gummy or thick. Super happy with my purchase.

I love this colour, I discovered it years ago and it's always in my rotation. I find that 2 coats usually does the trick for an even colour. It does chip within days from doing regular house chores like dishes so I do think a top coat is necessary. The colour has a nice pink undertone that makes it a great colour for all the seasons in my opinion.

It’s a nice color. It dries very quickly—probably within 15 minutes. I applied just one coat to get this look. I’m writing this two days after the application, and I wouldn't say it’s particularly long-lasting. It’s a standard, decent-quality product, though in my opinion, it should cost less.

I absolutely love, love, love this color. Berry Naughty is a deep, dark red that’s perfect for fall. It's bold, rich, and super flattering. I usually do two coats to get a nice thickness to the finish, and it goes on smooth without any streaks, which is a big deal for me. The brush makes it easy to apply, and it dries relatively quickly, about what you'd expect from a good polish. The smell is just your standard nail polish scent, nothing out of the ordinary. I didn’t use a base or top coat, and it still lasted about a week without chipping, which really impressed me. I also love that it’s 8-free and vegan. I’ve got several Essie shades and this one’s definitely one of my top picks. Great quality without the salon price.
