I was disappointed not to get the original Essie colour that the trail was meant to be for, but it has all worked out in the end! I LOVE this colour! The Essie brush is right up there with the OPI one, possibly even better. The polish just glides on nice and easily. There wasn't a nasty smell either, which was a big plus. This was my first time using Essie and I am very impressed, will definitely be adding more Essie colours to my nail polish collection!

Always loved anything marshmallow
I was lucky enough to trial this nail polish and must admit, I've fallen in love with it. I don't usually wear nail polish that much (have 3 kids and lots of washing, so it comes off all the time lol) but I will definitely wear this nail polish. I love it, its a gorgeous colour and I really love the way it looks, makes me feel a little bit feminine lol.
Tips: Add at least 2 layers of this nail polish, because one layer of this makes it look uneven and not too attractive, but once you add the second layer, it looks amazing. Could use this for a good manicure too :-)

Pretty In Pink!! Essie - Ballet Slippers
I love love love this colour! Its really natural and quite a glossy finish. It lasted on me for quite a while too the only down side is it did take at least 20 minutes to fully dry but it went on really easily :) Will def buy this again.

High Hopes, Low Results
I was so excited to be trying this, and hoping it wouldnt look like twink (as previous white nail polishes have). However i was a little disappointed as after 2 coats the polish was still streaky, and after the 3rd coat it looked like twink. I tried it as soon as I received it and so thought maybe it was a bit shaken up from being in the post, so tried again 2 days later. Same result and now the polish seemed thick and gluggy too :( However, on the up side, I have since used this as an undercoat and applied coloured patterns over the top - wow. The white really makes the colours POP!! Will totally keep using as now i can maximise the colour while avoiding the 'twink look'.
Tips: Use as an undercoat for nail art, transfer patterns, etc. Also ensure you always add a super shiny top coat (to plain white or patterned) to avoid the twink look.

No more twink!
I quite liked this product. In the 80's I used to twink my nails - so I was seriously excited to review this nail polish. I loved the brush, nice and wide and easily applied. I did find it a bit streaky. I put on two coats which looks acceptable. I would used this again and I would be happy with the result.

Trophy Wife
This color is very similar to many that I have in my kit, which says that its a color I like. This one I have found especially good as it has a great depth to it. To me it has a very nautical feel to it. It has lasted very well on my nails, and considering I am out of top coat, this says a lot. I would absolutely recommend this shade, and Essie to anybody. 5/5 from me.

Not for me
I am currently on a teal/green nail kick but this shade is all wrong too shimmery and frosty and looks incredibly dated. Great essie formula but not fond of the shade at all.

Pretty in pink!
Such a gorgeous colour! This is a soft, subtle pink, nice and discreet for the office or for spring time. I like to use this in a french mani for a feminine touch.

going to the ballet
I love love loooove this colour! Im a huge fan of dark or bright colours, but with work im unable to express my self :( Ballet slippers gives me the light natural colour shade and goes highly unoticed by my bosses! (hopefully they will not read this lol)
I find you do have to apply a generous amount, on a high note, a mistake can go missed.
The downside, is i literally have to sit there and do nothing for atleast a good half an hour to avoid ruining the polish, so i think some quick dry spray is needed.
Overall i will continue to use this product.
Tips: A good buff beforehand helps the polish to stick. Let your colour dry a tad before applying your top coat, this avoids colour streaking and a faster drying time.

The formula is really good and its easy to coat the nail all you really need is one coat. It dries pretty quick aswell. The only thing is I really really really dislike the colour.
