I love this color, a bright orange with a hint of red. I also really appreciate that Essie now comes with a high quality curved brush which makes it way easier to apply nail polish. Love it, definitely recommend!

Essie did it again! Handmade with love is perfect!
4 years ago
I am such a fan of Essie's nail polish line. Not only because they have the best lineup and variety of colors (with constant new releases of new lines / colors), but because their product quality is unbeatable. And this new line, specifically "Handmade with love" is the perfect new color for Spring and Summer.
I am consistently impressed with Essie, and despite trying all other competitors (OPI, China Glaze etc.), Essie comes out as the superior brand/product line each time (longer lasting, smoother application, more colors, more fun color releases, more chip resistant). I'm such a fan that I look forward to Friday afternoons when I treat myself to a new color for the upcoming week. Cannot express enough what a great brand with high quality products and an amazing lineup of colors Essie is!!
Pros:
- Goes on smooth. Thicker brush allows for easy application
- Dries quickly
- Handmade with love color is bright and fun, an orangey sort of coral color with a little extra pizazz
- I've also used it for accent colors on a couple of manicures and it's a great pop on a more natural background (have done polkadots and small flowers)
Cons:
- Literally none, get ready for warmer weather and buy this color immediately! And every other color!
yes, I recommend this product.

Love the colors
4 years ago
I love the colors they are so vibrant. Typically have to put several layers on with other brands. With this brand 2 coats provided full coverage. The polish is long lasting. So far it has been 2 weeks and despite washing dishes several times no chips or cracks in the polish.
yes, I recommend this product.
