Essie is my favorite nail polish brand, the amount of shades made is incredible and while they stay on the safe and pretty side they are stunning and slightly different enough that I want to have them all. Two coats are all I need for shiny, strong nails and with a good top coat it lasts a few days.

In the past I would stick to pale colors such as Ballet Slipper, Potato Fields, Sugar Daddy, Waltz or Marshmallow. Now I love the black wine color called Wicked but my absolute favorite is Geranium - a wild, flaming orange/red tomato that people always seem to complement me on. I wear it with short nails of course and since getting it two weeks ago I am unable to change it, I repainted my nail 3 times since and they have been Geranium all the way through. Great for the summer, I can't wait to break out my flip flops and rock my toes with this color.

If you have nails and love to paint them then you can't go wrong with Essie!

This color is beautiful on nails and toes. It goes on easy and looks great for days.

I never write review but I felt like I needed to do this for this product. It is one of the best polishes that I have bought, the color is absolutely amazing, goes on smoothly and lasts well. I will be comming back to Essie to try the other colors.

Love this color - not too sheer, not too heavy. Perfect for both french manicures and just alone for a clean, pretty look.

This nail polish really must look good on all skin tones . . . just like In Style magazine recommended. It looks great on my toes. Not too pale, not too pink, just right!

This is my 2nd favorite nail polish color, the first is OPI's Natasha &Boris. This one is great cause its super light, I would call it a ballerina pink. Looks great with one coat or two.

I love Essie products. I have at least 30 of their polishes, ranging from sheer pinks all the way to the darkest blacks. This color looks really good on my skin tone (black, caramel skin tone). I love the fact that with a simple coat of Essie base coat, 2 coats of polish, and a coat of top coat, my nails will look good for at least 5 days with proper maintenance.

Most people who are complaining about their polish not lasting need to follow a few simple steps to make it last longer.
1-Thin coats are best. Thick coats tend to lead to more porous polish. More porous=more likely to chip.
2-Dry manicures are better than wet ones. If you polish after soaking your nails for any period of time, the nail bed expands. Drying then causes it to contract, making it more likely to have base coat and thus nail polish that doesn't adhere properly.
3-Wear gloves when washing dishes.

I've been searching everywhere for this color! It's the perfect nude in my opinion. :) Definitely my new staple nail polish color.

Essie was a new name to me. While searching the intenet for a specific shade I saw a picture of the manicure for the Duchess of Cambridge using the Essie color "Allure". It was the discreet pale pink color I had been seeking. The quality of Essie polish far exceeds the brand name polishes I have used for years. It applies smoothly, dries quickly and lasts a good week with a top coat sealer. Also, if you like to tone down or lighten up by adding a different shade under or over the basic color, Essie achieves the desired effect beautifully.

Essie's Fishnet Stocking is just perfect. It's red. It's not glittery, shimmer, or satiny... it's just RED. A very refreshing and no nonsense bold crayon-like red. It's approach to nail color is what I'm really loving about the Essie line. All Essie colors that I've tried are darker on your nails than in the bottle... consistently too. Like most of the other colors, this shade is heavily pigmented. My last 3 manicures were in this color. That's how much I love it. It's classic, it's basic, and it's not one of those shade you really had to be in a particular mood to wear. Best of all, I can wear it without being constantly reminded of Christmas.
