Looked so nice in the bottle but the colour is genuinely so ugly after application. The polish itself is lovely to apply but my good the colour is bad no amount of coats or glitter topcoats improves it.

Hi there jackie137, thank you for your honest feedback! We’re glad the application was a breeze, even if the color wasn't a win this time. This blackened brown with grey undertones and a slight satin sheen sounds like it just didn’t suit your look. We appreciate you trying different ways to style it (the glitter topcoat sounds like a fun idea!). If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Didn’t work for me.
a year ago
Started with all-in-one base coat before applying Stay Fluid. The polish seemed thick on the brush and uneven on the nail. It still looked streaky after two coats and too heavy with a third. I gave it two different attempts but gave up on this color. Essie is my favorite but I threw this one away.

Hi there Mimi01, We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. All of our colors should flow easily onto the nails and look perfect by the second coat. Something does not sound right with bottle you have. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Can’t go wrong with white!

I love essie nail polishes; they go on smooth and dry quickly. My nails will stay flawless for up to a week with no chips or breaks. This shade was the perfect white for the holiday season.

I recently tried Essie stay fluid Nail Polish, and I love it! The color changes depending on the light, apply over another color and its gorgeous. It applies smoothly and lasts a good amount of time without chipping. It’s a unique and playful twist on traditional nail polish, and I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to try something different.

I received this product for free from Essie and Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. I received and tried the Essie Be Them All Nail Polish Bundle. I received the shade be them all and always morphing. I love both of these shades. The orange shade arrived broken.
This nail polish is long lasting and I highly recommend this product.

Pretty polish !
a year ago
I love this nail polish formula ! The color is opaque and also metallic . The scent doesn’t bother me at all ,it’s not strong in my opinion. The drying time between each coat is fast so you’re done before you know it . I love the sleek,chic packaging . I really enjoy the applicator brush as it is very smooth and glides over the nail bed with ease . I definitely recommend!

I really love this nail polish ! It is super beautiful and has a metallic finish to it ! I am obsessed with the color . This formula applies so nicely and I love how the applicator just glides over my nail beds with ease . It doesn’t take long for each coat to dry and the scent isn’t strong in my opinion at all . I really love the sleek ,chic packaging these come in and definitely recommend. I also love how long this formula lasts ! It’s lasted me at least two weeks.

White Pearl Glaze

The Stay Fluid shade is a beautiful white pearl glaze with slight purple tones. The polish applies smoothly and evenly. With just two coats, I achieve full coverage and glossy finish. It is quite durable. It lasted about a week without chipping.

Beautiful, Dark Polish
a year ago
Absolutely love this color. I love essie brushes and bottles. They have the best applicator and formula in my opinion. The smell isn't too bad. The color is absolutely beautiful. I love dark colors and this has the best shimmer. I can't attest to how long it goes without chipping because I love to pick my nail polish off. It dries in the perfect amount of time. I am terrible at applying regular polish, but this one doesn't dry too fast and i'm pretty successful with most nails.

Such an interesting shade!

I actually gave this shade away to my sister and she likes it! The grayish purple undertones in this polish is so pretty. Essie’s formula is thin so the application process isn’t hard.. with that being said the removal process is just as easy.

This shade of nail polish is so pretty! White with a silver-ish sheen on it. I love it! Application is always super easy with Essie’s formula because it’s not too thick. Removal process was easy too, regular polish remover does the trick.

The purpleish color of this nail polish is beautiful and elegant. I feel like this is a color that you can wear in any occasion and goes perfect with all outfits. The application technique and drying time are really good. It has a not strong scent which I really appreciate. The packaging is cute and convenient because you get to see the color and the shimmers from the outside packaging. This nail polish last a good amount of time and it is easy to remove. I do recommend it. It is beautiful.

Love it great color! Love the like silver shimmer in it. Essie always makes great colors. I have so many I always buy from them. Comes off easily and applies smooth every time. If you let it dry between coats you have no issues on dry time. Smells like polish not much to say on that. I recommend and would buy it.

I really like this nail polish, it's super smooth and pigmented. It's easy to apply and the color is very prominent. Definitely something I'd wear all of the time, it fits any occasion or outfit. Color is really pretty. Dries pretty quick, looks cute. Haven't removed it yet, but otherwise good polish.

Shimmery brown
a year ago
I’ve been using Essie nail polish brand for quite a while. They usually last pretty long and have a nice selection of colors.
Always morphing is a cute shimmery dark brown, perfect for fall. Depending on the base and top coat that you use will also determine how long the polish dries. When used alone, it dries pretty quickly, the brush is wide and can get your whole nail in just 2 strokes, so with 2 coats you’re good.

New fave

My new favorite polish for my toes! This white polish glides on smoothly and it’s a refreshing pop of color. It has a pearliness to the color so it isn’t a true white but still nice nonetheless.

Dried soo fast!

Received this item for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. The nail polish is shiny and super fast drying! Smells like normal nail polish, but not overpowering. Intense white color. SUPER SHINY! My 10 year old was excited to do her own nails. Drying time in no time!

Too dark for me

The color is really dark for me, personally. It’s not my favorite but the polish dries fast and looks good! I think with regular polish, you need to have a good application in order for the polish to stay fresh.

I don’t like this color
a year ago
I love this brand. Their polishes are self-leveling so it is easy to put on and looks nice with one coat. It didn’t take too long to dry and as always comes in the easy to open glass container. That being said (this is personal preference) I really dislike the color. It’s a weird brown black that I don’t find particularly appealing. I would prefer a black or a brown not this mixed color. It did stay without chips, but I only left it on two days before removal. Good formula but not my color preferences

Very pretty

Love the color! I only did one coat and it was really vibrant and filled in already. I love that the white color is opaque but not like a stark white. It’s giving very bride/wedding feels. It has a chrome kind of finish but very subtle. It dried super fast. I love Essie nail polish.

I like the Essie brand but not really a fan of white. This’ll be good for French tip! It dries pretty fast which is great. The bottle is cute and the brush makes it easy to apply.. also removes easily with acetone :)
