essie talk

Do you have a special event in your life for which you had to look your absolute best?
Did you go to your favorite salon and gaze at the rows of cute little square bottles trying to pick the perfect color?
What was that color?
Do you remember the name?
We at Essie want to hear your story. What was that special day, a wedding, graduation or prom?
Maybe it was that incredible French manicure that the HR recruiter complimented during that perfect interview. Or perhaps it was that amazing color blend that matched your bridesmaid's dress perfectly. What color were you wearing that day he asked you to meet him and he 'popped the big question'?
Tell us and we will share your memories with others. Perhaps your story will be a source of inspiration for someone planning her big day!
I'm just writing to you to thank you for making such an outstanding product. I've sampled several of your colors and always find that they leave my nails looking amazing. Thank you.

I began using essie nail polish because Kathy Lee Gifford used "Blanc" and "Marshmallow" for her french manicures and I love the all white look. Then over 7 years ago at a spa show I was fortunate to meet the amazing and kind Essie. Since meeting her and telling her why I love her product I now have over 80 nail polishes in my refrigerator (a tip from Essie) and use the cuticle pen, pomegranate mango hand smoothie, crystal nail file and the ballet slippers gloss-e. Every 2 weeks when I get my nails and toes done I take my own essie polish to my appointments and continue to get laughs from my nail tech. I LOVE the product(s) and have turned many of my family and friends to ONLY using essie because nothing else compares. Another happy essie customer.

Being a student in college, I would always just buy drug store brand nail polish. After getting a manicure with Essie nail polish, I refuse to be cheap! It looks great and lasts long! Wonderful quality. I used to have a habit of peeling off my chipped nail polish, but I can't seem to do it anymore with my new "mademoiselle" pink nail polish. THANK YOU!!!

I have just returned to Scotland from a Princess Cruise in the Mediterranean and have had my nails done using your products. The polish was applied four weeks ago and has not yet chipped!
Totally amazing.

I love using essie colors for French manicures. I do not have acrylics and these make a more natural finish. I use one coat of Fed Up and one coat of Vinyl Bikini on top.

I searched high and low for the perfect deep red/burgundy, metallic polish. I love "Poor lil Rich Girl", "Sassy Satchel" and many others but the "ONE" was without a doubt was "Thigh High". I used it once, and when I went to show my boyfriend and dropped it on the tiled bathroom floor. It broke of course. In the following weeks I searched every beauty supply and salon I came across. I even showed off my toes and asked the salons to order the color. When I finally found "Thigh High", I bought two bottles. I won't be without it again!

My husband and I got married in the very romantic town of La Romana in the Dominican Republic. The ceremony took place on the beach during sunset. I was wearing high heels, but since it was impossible to wear them in the sand, I just took them off and got married barefoot. To my surprise, everyone else, including my husband took off their shoes and celebrated with us, barefoot! I had a gorgeous matching French manicure and pedicure with essie's colors: "Nude Beach" and "Baby's Breath". It made for a fun and romantic color combination.

My girlfriends and I consider ourselves the 'Witches' of the Upper East Side'. We get together for nice dinner parties and will go to shows together. When we decided on going to see "Wicked" on Broadway, we made a day of it and got manis and pedis before. Which color did we pick? Why, 'Wicked', of course!!

I am a yoga instructor in Manhattan and I always like to have pretty toes when I teach. Nothing makes me feel like sticking my little piggy's in the air like: 'Expose Your Toes', 'Fruit Sangria' or 'Tangerine'.

When my sister got married, as the Maid-of-Honor, I took her, our Mom and my 2- year old niece out for a beauty day. When it came time for our manicures, we had a hard time deciding from all the different colors. Of course, my niece was very excited to have her first manicure. So we decided that we would all wear "Flower Girl" because that's the color she chose. And she was the cutest little Flower Girl too!
