nail freak!

I love nail polish and this brand and colour is in my top of favs to use! You could almost get away with one coat if you were in a hurry but best to do 2 and always use a base coat!

Tips: Base coat and 2 coats of colour and then a top coat for best results and lasting finish

Bikini So Teeny

I own so many nail polishes and can never choose which to use. This colour is a easy pick for when I can't decide, it's a gorgeous colour that complements my skin tone and is perfect for summer. Application is easy. I would like this to have a bit more stay power. I have major issues with polishes that don't dry quickly and this did not disappoint my. It dried relatively quickly so I could get on with my day. May need to use a couple of layers, as with many polishes. I would use this again, and have used it many times. I love it!

Essie - Bikini So Teeny

I absolutely love this Essie Nailpolish! This light blue shade is my absolute favourite colour, and it took me a long time to find a nailpolish which reflected what I was looking for. I found other brands like OPI would often have more green or purple undertones, but this Essie polish is a lovely blue. It goes on smoothly and evenly like all Essie polishes. However I found that at least two coats are required to give the full colour as you see in the bottle. It has great durability and I found it stayed on for up to a week without peeling or chipping with a good base and top coats. I would definitely recommend this to others if you are as crazy about pastel blue as I am!

Tips: Apply at least two layers, with Essie base and top coats for more coverage and durability.

Aruba - AMAZING

I love this colour so mch, it is a deep blue with a lovely metallic- like finish, it's a great summer colour that reminds me of the sea, it can also be worn in winter for a cheer up of the winter blues. I have received great compliments when I have worn this :).

Tips: I usually do two or more coats so the colour is fully opaque :)

Bikini So Teeny

This nail polish is lovely, the colour is fantastic and it goes on easily with a wider brush, and dries super quickly. You'll need two or three coats for a smooth even coverage though. It lasts well too, especially when using a base and top coat.

Officially a Essie fan

Don't get me wrong, I still love OPI, But I think in terms of how long-lasting it is, price comparison to OPI and function I really do have a new favourite brand.

I've discovered I really prefer their nail brush or the nail polish in general? I tend to get more of a easy glide in layering my nail-polish because its not as thick. In terms of price I find it is also cheaper than some other brands when you get it at the make-up sale.

cute colour!

i love this colour but was a bit dissapointed with the application, it can be a little streaky but this can be corrected over a couple of layers, that being said, more layers = more chance of chipping, and i noticed this happening whenever I did more than two coats. the shape and width of the brush is awesome and very easy to use,would definitely try other colours from this brand

My favourite so far

The problem I have with most nail polishes is that it comes on either too thick or too thin. Essie nailpolishes are soo easy to use because the brush is so versatile and can be applied thick or thin. When i first put it on the brush covers most of the nail.

Tips: The only thing about this nail polish is that the coats come out quite thin. You need to put on around 3 coats for it to look good.

I love, love, LOVE this color.

I love, love, LOVE this color. I was hesitant to buy it because I already have several light blue polishes, but this one is truly unique. It's like a baby blue periwinkle. Very slight shimmer that just reads as a nice finish. The formula is thin and streaky so it needed two - three coats, which can be time consuming of course. I'm currently on Day 2 with no chips, so I'd say it doesn't chip very easily as long as you use a top coat.

Tips: Apply 2-3 coats

Great colour!

I love the colour of this nail polish! It has a tiny hint of shimmer in it which really tops it off! The only issue I had with this nail polish was that it was quite thin, so it needed 2-3 coats to build up the colour. Essie does have great packaging and the brush is perfect for getting straight lines on the edge of your nail! Will definitely be buying more nail polishes from Essie!
