Quick Dry Pretty Color!
4 months ago
We know who the nail artist will be in our family, my daughter! I was excited to get to try this new color crunch crunch from Essie. It is a calming green that reminds me a bit of mint ice cream! The color was easy to apply and dried quick which I was very happy about as my 3 year old wanted to do her nails and daddy's! As you can see, the color looks great on everyone!

Love this minty Essie green
4 months ago
This mint green color is so pretty and perfect for winter and even will be perfect going into spring. I love Essie as a brand for polish and it has been my go to for many years now. It lasts longer than others I’ve tried while retaining shine and it dries fairly quickly.

Love the hue
4 months ago
Essies Crunch crunch is such a cute shade of green. It has a dull almost seafoam hue to it. The polish itself is easy to apply. I'm able to apply it easily and evenly in two coats. I usually keep my first coat thin so it dries quicker than applying the next coat - with other polish brands you'll need more than two coats but for Essie it looks great in two! It also doesn't chip off easily, and stays much longer than other brands. Love the quality and shine of an Essie Nail polish! Such a fun shade too!

Cute winter shade
5 months ago
I'm loving the shade “crunch crunch” from Essie! It's a gorgeous sea foam shade that's perfect for an iced, wintry look. The Essie nail polish brush has a wide fan style brush that makes painting the nails fast as it covers more surface area. The color payout is phenomenal so I only applied two coats in this picture.!!Essie nail polish never disappoints.

LOVING the new Crunch Crunch shade!
5 months ago
As a HUGE fan of essie, I was SO excited to receive a new shade to add to my collection! I chose the shade Crunch Crunch from the new Gourmet Grocery collection. It's a super cute light green color. Essie polishes are always great, in my opinion, because it's one of the only nail polishes that ACTUALLY stays on my nails for longer than a day and doesn't start chipping away immediately after applying.
The shade is a favorite of mine. I even have a lot of clothes in this shade, or something like it, at least, so it accidentally matches most of my clothes lol. I would highly recommend trying essie nail polishes, this collection and every other one, because they're really awesome, high quality polishes, and they come in just about every share you can imagine! Crunch Crunch is easily a new favorite for me!

High Gloss Shine
5 months ago
This shade is simply stunning. It's warm and neutral, yet sophisticated and light. The pigment is deep enough that one or two coats are enough. It applies clean and streak free. The finish is glossy with high shine. It's also easy to remove. It gives my nails a fresh beautiful look. It doesn't chip or fade until I take it off.

Beautiful
5 months ago
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. It's a beautiful shade, but requires 3 coats to be opaque. It does dey down pretty quick. I usually don't paint my nails, because it never stays, but I figured I'd give it a try.

Pretty for spring!!!
5 months ago
The Essie Grocery Collection nail polish in the shade Crunch Crunch is pretty good! I really like this shade of green. It’s a pretty, light green spring type shade! This polish did need two coats to look nice but it was able to build up well without looking too streaky or bulky. It lasted on the nails for about 5 or so days without needing any touchups, which I feel is pretty good for as much as I use my hands. This polish is an average size bottle and the price is decently affordable. I would recommend and want to try out the rest of the collection! I received this polish for free for review, all thoughts are my own.
