Yay for Essie.


What Essie claims:  
“With a belief that nail polish needs to be both ‘classic yet fashionable’, Essie Weingarten set about producing durable, high quality nail colours with a fashion focus; seeking inspiration from the catwalk for her seasonal shades. Offering a colour collection of over 300 glossy hues, Essie now includes a range of base and mattifying top coats”
I had wanted this nail polish for so long, so when there was a sale on ASOS I snapped up 2 along with a few Barry M polishes to add to my collection. The colours I got were absolutely shore and splash of grenadine and I am in love with them and here’s why:
  • ·         They apply beautifully
  • ·         They dry to a lovely smooth glossy finish.
  • ·         They are reasonably chip proof.
  • ·         The bottle is so chic and the thick glass makes it feel expensive and luxurious.

My only peeve is that they are not as pigmented as I would like, you need at least 2 coats for the colour to truly show up, especially absolutely shore which is quite sheer with only one coat.

Essie nail polishes claim to be chip resistant, long lasting and durable whilst also being fashionable but classic and I agree with this completely and think that they have become my new favourite nail polishes and I may have to splurge on a few more autumn friendly colours.

Pros
  • Chip Resistant
  • Glossy finish
  • Nice bottle
  • Easy to apply
  • Hundreds of colours to choose from. 
Cons
  • Have to apply at least 2 coats

Splash of Grenadine with 2 coats, after 4 days with no top coat.
