Essie Nail Polish Review

Hello, Lovelies!

 

Painting my nails is one of my favorite things to do, especially on a night when I'm just staying home. I've tried many polishes over the years but have recently found my new love: Essie brand nail polish.

(These are not my pictures)

 

I've known about Essie for a while but despite the good reviews, never purchased any of the colors. However, that all changed about 3 weeks ago when I got my first color which is called Play Date (which I'll talk about a little later). As soon as I got home from the store I painted my nails and immediately fell in love with the polish. It dries so smooth and shiny that I didn't even bother with a clear top coat. After about a week of normal wear and tear, the polish still looked pretty much perfect, with just a few chips on the ends.

In the past few weeks I've heard loads of good reviews on the Mint Candy Apple color. I went out with the intention of only getting the one color but then I found another color that I just couldn't leave at the store. I left with Mint Candy Apple and Bikini So Teeny.

 

My collection so far:

 

Play Date:

I find that this color dries just a touch darker than what is shown in the picture. I think that this a perfect Summer color. This color was my "intro to Essie" and I think that it made a great first impression.

 

Mint Candy Apple:

Although I haven't had the chance to use this color yet, I love it in the bottle. Mint is one of my absolute favorite colors so I'm excited to give this a try. Almost every review that I read about this shade was nothing but positive.

 

Bikini So Teeny:

 

This is a new color too so I haven't used it yet either. This color is a nice cornflower blue-ish shade. I saw this in the store and new that I had to try it. I'm a person who loves to have my nails painted in colors other than the typical pinks and reds (although I don't mind pink and red) so this is perfect.

 

All in all, I would have to say that Essie polish is AMAZING! There are a variety of shades to choose from and they are pretty affordable (in my opinion). Here in the U.S, the Essie brand is around $8. Which I will gladly pay $8 for the smoothness, shininess, and long lasting-ness of it. Another benefit is that it dries super fast.

 

I couldn't encourage people enough to give Essie a try.

 

If you're reading this I'd love to know your opinions. What do you think about Essie? Any other polishes that you favor? If so, what are they? Let me know in the comments.

 

Happy nail painting :)

 

XOXO, Meghan!
