Essie Marshmallow

I found that the consistency of the polish started to thicken up after a few uses. However, I love this colour and how soft it looks!

using Essie for the first time

This nail polish is a gorgeous colour and goes really well with current summer clothes. The brush was wider than I’m used to and initially I thought this made the coverage was uneven when I put it on my nails. It did make the application process faster though which was good. There was no smell which was a major plus as some other brands I’ve used have a really unpleasant artificial smell that hangs round for ages. It dried evenly giving a uniform look and there was no smudging which was great. There were no chips for the first four days and then I noticed a bit on some nails round the edge. I love the colour, the bottle itself is attractive and I will definitely be using it again over the summer.

pretty color !

this is my first time trying essie and it is x100times better than dollar store ones that I usually use. i had to do 2 coats to get a nice even opaque color but they dry really fast so its no problem. What i like the most is the color ! it is a bluesh purple(lavendar? i dunno) color with really subtle shimmer in it. the color is not a vibrant neon kinda color which i like because i like neutral colors. this would be a very versatile color for summer !

Tips: since it s winter here in NZ, i used the bikini so teeny color on 2 nails on each hand and the colored the rest with a nude pink color.

New Favourite!

I absolutely love this nail polish! It's durable and the colour is so pretty with a little bit of shimmer (I got lots of compliments about it!). The polish glides on for a really smooth finish, and if you aren't that technical with a brush (like me) it comes off your skin very easily. Definitely recommend

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

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.

Pretty Pastels

Essie is one of my favourite nail polish brands. The majority of colours are very pretty and feminine and they have a lot to choose from. I would prefer a slightly larger brush but that is a minimal annoyance.

I own a few metallic shades which are brilliant! Completely opaque in one coat, although I do two for staying power, and they are non-streaky. The pastel shades I have last a long time on my nails without chipping. They go on very sheer with the first coat but build up to opaque in 2 or 3 coats. They also dry reasonably quick which is good and leave a nice hard finish.

I purchase my Essie polishes on eBay as I find it cheaper even with paying for shipping and they have all the colour range.

Great polish

I love this polish. They have a huge range of wonderful colours, and the application is amazing, it just glides on. The best thing is that it seems to last a lot longer then any other brand I've used, and I'm a nail technician so I've used a lot. The only negative I have is the price, unfortunately it's a bit too expensive for me to be able to buy the amount of colours I would need, totally worth it, but just a tad too expensive.

Nail-licious!

I have my 2 Essie polishes in Chinchilly (a cool toned grey) and No Boundaries (a bright fuschia). I love the simple packaging with the white cap and clear glass bottle as it looks sleek and allows you to see the colour inside.

The brush is also very good, dense enough to pick up enough polish and broad enough so that it doesn't cause any streaking.

The formula is also amazing, both are opaque with 2 coats and while it does take a while to dry, I find that it is one of the formulas which lasts on me and I can wear it for more than a week withouth it chipping. With the bright colour, I also find that it remains bright and vibrant for a good week - which is quite rare with my other bright polishes.

Overall, yes it's a bit pricey but for what you're getting, it's definitely worth it!

Tips: Farmers sometimes has specials, or otherwise check out nzsale.co.nz as they sometimes sell shades for only $9!

What I have most of Essie

I look at my vanity and see an overflow of Essie. Obviously my favourite. Well firstly it's affordable especially online thru other stores you cna get them on special. What I like is the square bottle, the paint brush is nice to hold and use and their range of shades are varied with cute names toboot. The brush is a nice square shape making it easy to apply however the bristles aren't flimsy nor are they stiff the combination of it could be called perfect. One layer could almost be enough but I like depth with my colours so I add two coats of paint to get that deep colour of the polish. I don't usually have a top coat on or a base, I'm lazy nail person and therefore it's just the polish itself. I can say with this alone I get a good wear of the polish before nay chipping occurs and I'm OK with that.
