Loved it!

I really loved this nail polish, I loved the consistency and the brush held enough product that I didn't need to keep redipping. It was lovely as a sheer colour but building it up made it look nice too. Normally my polish will chip off the next day, but this has managed to last 5 days so far and is only started to chip away now.

Tips: Take your time between coats

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.

Amazing!

Wow what an amazing nail polish! The new and improved Essie nail Polish, I found to be quick drying as well as it didn't have that awful smell that a nail polish usually does! The colour itself is a beautiful baby pink colour, I did find that I had to put on like 3 coats so that it actually looked nice and not too patchy. The brush is amazing with the rounded end and made applying the nail polish fuss free.

Tips: I would put on a top coat after the polish just to help the nail polish from chipping so much as I had a problem with this when no top coat was used.

Pretty in Pink!!

I absolutely love this natural pretty pink colour. I'm not supposed to wear polish for work but this sheer colour makes my nails look a healthy soft pink colour with kind of a French polish finish to them. A little product goes a long way so try not to have too much on the brush when applying to avoid it from going streaky and apply 2-3 coats depending on your colour preference. This is a lovely base colour for nail art or add a wee diamante for that extra touch of glamour!!

Tips: Always prep with a base coat to protect your nails and apply a top coat for long lasting wear and shine!!

Natural Nails!

I picked up this polish after seeing the rave reviews on beauty review!

This is the perfect nail polish for everyday wear if you are after a natural, tidy nail look. It goes on so easily and the formula isn't too thick of tacky so no bubbles. It also dried super quick so perfect for girls on the go. Love this product and am excited to try more from essie!

Great Autumn Shade

When I first read about this particular shade it wasn't exactly getting accolades because it was a "flat brown". I thought it would make a lovely colour on your nails especially if you have darker skin so naturally I jumped at the chance to try it out.

The colour is a very dark brown with reddish undertones so the colour isn't completely flat and it does in fact look really flattering on my skin tone (NC44).

You can glam this shade up by adding a sparkly top coat as well. I opted to add a gold sparkle polish on my ring finger as a feature nail and it looks really lovely.

The quality of the polish is signature Essie, it's a great consistency, not too runny and goes on really smoothly.

Overall, I think this colour is perfect especially for autumn when you need to whip out the rich browns and coppery colours.

I really love this polish and am already thinking of other ways I can glam it up.

My verdict? This is a beautiful polish and it's a lovely rich tone which does flatter mostly darker skin tones. It would probably border on looking a bit gothic on lighter skin tones.

If you like rich browns then this is definitely a polish you should try out. Or maybe just try out a different shade and amp up your polish colours.

Tips: This colour does look very unfinished with just a single coat, so make sure you double coat it and use a great base/top coat to finish it off.

Power Clutch.

I have to say I wasnt that keen on the colour at first. Im a sucker for strong bold colour so it took some getting used too. It was easy to apply - not too thick or too runny. It dried really quickly also. I did have a few positive comments from a few friends and a stranger at the supermarket too! I think for a night out it would look great but it's maybe a bit too dark for an every day colour.

Wasn't sure at first...but love it!

When I got selected to trail this I wasn't sure at all about the colour...but I actually love it. Its a charcoal grey, and it goes with everything! I recieved it five days ago, put it om staright away, it dried quickly and has not chipped at all. Its easy to apply, and looks good just with one coat, has a really nice shine. I will be definitely be wearing it again.

Tips: Use one coat first...I found it was enough for me.

Love love love

This product exceeded my expectations by far! I have a labour intensive job and I defiantly pushed this product to the limit! No chips after 2 days which is pretty good for me, I'll be buying more in this range .

Tips: I did get better coverage with two coats
