Super pretty, simple and unique
3 years ago
I have been wearing 90’s red for the last year and noticed lots of blue nails while visiting Hawaii this week. Bought this color and Ride the Soundwave.
Find me an Oasis is beautiful, it feels like a grown up version of wearing white or a playful version of pale pink. In comparison Ride the Soundwave is somewhat childish, and a much worse quality formula.
I think Find me an Oasis will be my summer color, and probably the only blue I will wear moving forward!

Disappointing
3 years ago
Just like Turquoise and Caicos this is not pleasant to put on. It takes 3-4 coats to get the desired look and by then your nails will never dry properly. It does not go on well. Uneven. It’s not goopy it’s not thin but it’s not the right consistency even with my shaking it for a long time.

It’s not blue
4 years ago
I bought it from our local CVS. The main problem is that it's not quite blue. It has a tint of green and doesn't look like the picture on this site at all. I thought it would still look ok. No, it's kind of ugly. Also, the brush is small. It was a waste of money.

Hello there Tina2003! We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the color 'find me an oasis'. This color should be a refreshing ice blue with a cream finish. And we are so sorry to hear that the brush was difficult to use. It sounds like this bottle had the old, smaller brush vs. the newer large brush the current nail enamels feature.

Find Me An Oasis
4 years ago
I bought this color at a CVS is So Cal. I was excited to swatch it with two other Essie nail polishes purchased at the same time. Mooning was an amazing formula with a wide rounded paddle brush. But Find Me An Oasis was less than I hoped for because of the thin narrow brush and having to add thinner to the newly opened bottle. Difficult application to get the thin brush to hold enough polish and fan out at all. Maybe I will find a replacement brush or try to return it to CVS. Not satisfied with the brush or formula.

Hello Sra3402. Thank you for sharing your experience with the nail color shade 'find me an oasis'. It sounds like you picked up an old bottle. We have been phasing in our wider brushes for all of our nailcolors since 2020. All of our nail colors should flow easily onto the nail and by the second coat, the color should be perfect.

pretty color but not opaque
5 years ago
I've been using this for at least a year now, and I think the pale blue is gorgeous. That said, it goes on kind of translucent and streaky, and it takes a loooot to get a solid opaque coat of even color. Of course, the lack of opacity with Essie's pastels is a very well-known weakness of their nail polish, so it's pretty much what I expected. Willing to have to do a million coats to get the color.

perfect for ombre
5 years ago
This color was more white than I expected, but it's very pretty. It's a bit thinner than I expected in a creamy finish, which made it work well for doing ombre with a sponge. I used it with Lilacism and can picture it going well with a pastel pink.

pretty color, formula is a bit hard to work with
5 years ago
This is the perfect baby blue color! Super pretty and wearable for everyday. My only complaint is that this polish is a lot more watery/runny compared to other Essie polishes I own, which makes it harder to work with. It still dries quickly though, and doesn’t chip easily. Definitely recommend this polish, it’s perfect year-round and I think it would look good on many skintones!

I never tired this polish brand until 2 days ago and oh my god. It is the worst brand nail polish I have ever used! It was clumpy and left streaks on my nails, chipped, color faded, etc. I thought it was just the bottle so I returned it and got a different bottle and different color, still terrible. Never again.
Rant over.

Hi there! We're so sorry to hear about your results with the essie nail color in the shade find me an oasis. All essie nail colors should flow on the nail bed and by the second coat, the color should be flawless. Be sure to shake your bottle for the count of 10 before each use to assure all the contents are well mixed. Use a good base coat like the first base to assure good adhesion to the nail bed and finish your mani with a good topcoat to seal and protect your mani.

What a Beautiful Blue
8 years ago
I adore this color! I'm a darker woman, but I do love some beautiful light colors. So many people have claimed that darker tones shouldn't wear colors such as find me an oasis, but I say ignore them and buy it! It is such a wonderful color that I adore! I have recommended this color to my mother, who is a die hard Shearling Darling user, and she has been in love as well! It's a wonderful summer color that I have repurchased multiple times.

neutral blue

i love this color i like that it is so pale and i can see a tinge of grey in this color which adds to the neutrality of this blue. That's what it seems like to me anyway Im not really sure there is any grey in this hue but it seems like it to me. I would lie this color even more if it was a little easier to apply though.

I bought this color about a month ago. I normally stick to darker colors like black and burgundy since I am not very girly but I fell in love with Find Me an Oasis. It goes great with my skin tone as well as most of my wardrobe. It is a great everyday color and I got so many compliments on my hands and feet! I love the formula because it is nice and creamy and it took about a week before my nails showed any signs of chipping.

I found a new favorite!!

I am a girl who is more into a white type of nail polish, like Fiji. But I lost it a month ago sadly so I wanted to replace it, but when I went to target they didn't have it and I saw this, and I thought it looks whiteish so why not? I am very pleased I got it!!! It is a beautiful color if you wanna go to a wedding or something. The only drawback is its a little too liquidy.

100% Worth It
10 years ago
This color is amazing! The light blue is perfect for summer (but to be honest, I've been wearing it since February). I get so many compliments on it and if you pair it with the gel setter Essie top coat, it stays! (I haven't worn it without the top coat, but with it mine stayed unchipped for five days) You have to do at least two coats in order to have a solid base, but the color is so beautiful it is completely worth it. A must have!

great color, good quality
11 years ago
I am an avid Essie user and I have over 30 bottles of the stuff in my bathroom cabinet! It is hard for me to find a color that I do not absolutely love. Seeing as though I am a student and am on a tight budget, I always paint my own nails, and prefer to use Essie because of the ease and quality at which I am able to paint it on. My only complaint is that this particular color is hard to paint on because of the jelly-like paint and it takes a super long time to dry. Other than that I love this color, and the baby blue goes perfectly with a summer tan or with winter flannels.

A perfectly subtle pale blue; it's light enough that it's almost as neutral as white, but the hint of blue keeps it fresh. It was so perfect for the summer (especially when I had a tan!), but I will definitely keep wearing it over the next few months as my "winter white."

I'm not a big pastel kind of girl, so I was hesitant to buy this polish. Since buying it a few months ago, I'm so very glad I did. It is just the right shade of pastel blue without coming off as "Baby Boy" blue. It's a neutral and a pastel-the best of both worlds!
