Great !

3 years ago
I bought these nail polish a while ago And they are so pretty. The colors definitely pop and standout just like the actual colors. They’re long lasting and don’t chip off easily like most nail polish does. I ended up gifting my mom one for a gift and she’s in LOVE! I highly recommend!

yes, I recommend this product.

  • Sooo pretty! I want more!

Brighter than it appears online, in a good way!

Bought this today and just used it. The color is exactly how it looks in the bottle and dries the same (rather than drying notably darker as I feel some greens tend to do). Also looks good on short or long nails.

Interesting Color

4 years ago
This is a very interesting color. A great choice for spring or even fall. To me it seems a little lighter than the image shows. The polish goes on well, but needs 2 coats. It also seems to chip a little easy, but not bad!

Best color of the season

4 years ago
This green has to be the best color of the season. It goes so well with my skin tone and it’s not one of my usual colors. I love that it doesn’t contain a lot of toxins like the other nail polish brands contain. The only downside is that it does chip easily so I will not wear it on my finger nails. It will last awhile on my toes so I’m wearing this color all season.

yes, I recommend this product.

Wonderful Coverage

I like to do my nails once a week, either a color change. With Essie, the color was perfect and the nail coverage is great. I had to only do one coat, not multiple coats. The smell was minimum and the polish lasted all week.

Not the best colors

4 years ago
This is my first time using Essie brand nail polish. I like trying out new colors especially since I'm due for a fill-in. The green (willow in the wind) only took one coat and was very easy to apply. The same with the magenta (swoon in the lagoon) I only applied one coat and it was a bit hard to take off. The off-white which had a blue tint to it (boatloads of love) was my least favorite. One coat is not enough but the more you add the more the color change. It's a little hard to tell what color it is and applying it was not the easiest. Overall, not the best colors for my skin tone. I would use the brand again since the quality is pretty good but I would definitely try some other colors.

yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome!

4 years ago
The color I chose was "Willow in the Wind #705" I received a three different colors, one of course was the color I chose and the other two was "Swoon in the Lagoon #290" and "Boatloads of Love #90" I decided to try out all three colors, I also kinda made a little swatch thing as well to better see the colors. My favorite is #705 because my favorite color is green and this color is a beautiful dark green. These dry super fast, apply evenly. Nothing negative to say at all. There are more then three colors so I would love to try all the rest of them. I highly recommend trying these for yourself.

yes, I recommend this product.

  • The green is my favorite..the plus is my 2nd.
  • Pretty and bold
  • All 3 colors!

Fun Vibrant Colors

4 years ago
I tried Swoon in the Lagoon, Boatloads of Love, and Willow in the Wind. I used two coats of nail polish for Swoon in the Lagoon as well as Willow in the Wind and then three coats of Boatloads of Love to get the pictured effect. On my fair skin I like the Boatloads of Love the most. BOL is a very flattering color with a bit of a pearl shimmer...I really love it. Colors are fun and very vibrant even if I wouldn't pick the others. I wish they were a little faster drying though.

yes, I recommend this product.
