Colour payoff disappointing

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.

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.

Easy to apply and remove! Not a strong scent like other polishes. It also dries quickly so you aren’t waiting forever! Easy to open package since the bottle is textured!!

Easy to apply and dries quickly which is very nice! Not a strong scent like other polishes. The bottle is easy to open since it’s textured so 10/10. Also easy to remove.
