Goth Girls Unite

Loooove me some goth dark colors, and this color does not disappoint. While the consistency is thicker than I would like, the durability and color make up for it - big time. Also, no crazy scent and it won't break the bank!

Moody fall and winter

Gifted for my honest review. I love this dark reddish brown nail color from Essie. I think it is a perfect moody color for fall and winter and I have worn it a couple of times since receiving. This brand reliably puts out good nail colors and it lasts at least a week without chipping. Loved to have this added to my collection.

I have two other shades from the collection, and bought Boho Rodeo for my niece’s upcoming Twenties wedding. It’s a gorgeous color, and I plan on doing a “moon manicure” for authenticity. Essie has been my go to polish for years, and never disappoints!

Ethereal Shade

5 months ago
Essie's new shades and collection are truly stunning! Liquid Sunrise is a breathtaking "special effects" shade that is borderline ethereal! It’s both subtle and special featuring a very wearable rose gold base a color-shifting effect. I’m truly obsessed. I wear it as my base color and layer a clear coat on top!

Beautiful shift

My nails have been in rough shape lately. When I don’t want to spend money at the salon, or want my nails to “breathe”, I love doing my nails at home, with natural polishes with some pizazz. I’ve used Eddie for years, and am really enjoying this shade since it gives it a metallic effect. It reminds me of a mermaid or a sea shell. Liquid sunrise is also very fitting.

My new fall and winter go to shade

5 months ago
I am obsessed with this Essie shade. Fringes and Saddle is the perfect rich chocolate brown with just enough depth to make it feel chic and seasonal without being too dark. It is one of those colors that looks good on every nail length and instantly makes your hands look put together. The formula is smooth, easy to apply, and surprisingly long lasting which is a big deal for me because polish usually chips fast on my nails. So far this one has held up really well. I love Essie in general but this color might be one of my new favorites for fall and winter. If you love deep, cozy shades that still look polished, this one is definitely worth grabbing.

This nail polish is a pretty color. I liked that it was easy to use and remove from the nails. The nail polish was very durable on my nails. It comes in a small glass bottle that is easy to use and easy to carry around. I didn’t like that I had to apply several coats for it to show on my nails.

Fringes & Saddle

Essie’s Fringes & Saddle is such a gorgeous deep fall shade! It’s a rich dark chocolate brown. I love how bold yet wearable it is perfect for the fall and winter seasons. The formula is smooth, the color payoff is strong, and it becomes fully opaque in just one to two coats. If you’re looking for a sophisticated, moody brown polish with a unique undertone, Fringes & Saddles is a beautiful choice.

A rich, glossy brown shade that applies beautifull

5 months ago
Essie’s “Fringes & Saddle” is a gorgeous deep, warm-toned brown that feels perfect for fall and winter. The formula is smooth and easy to control, with great pigmentation—you can get full coverage in just one to two coats. It dries evenly without streaks and has a really nice glossy finish. I was surprised by how long it lasted without chipping, especially with a top coat. If you love rich, earthy shades that look classy and bold, this one is a standout.

The nail polish is so beautiful, it’s a lovely unique color that’s a must have in your collection. It’s very sheer and subtle until you layer it a few times, but I loved a single coat of it as a topper. It lasted over a week about chipping. The packaging is the same small cute Essie square!

A natural, beautiful color

I recently tried the Boho Rodeo Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Nail Polish, and I’m really impressed! The shade is such a cute, natural color, perfect for everyday wear or when you want something simple but still put-together. The consistency is just right, not too thick or sticky, which makes it super easy to apply evenly without streaks. Once it dries, the finish is so shiny that it honestly looks like a gel manicure! I also love that it feels lightweight on the nails and doesn’t chip easily, which is a huge plus. Overall, this polish gives salon-quality shine with minimal effort. I’m giving it a solid 4/5 stars, it’s a beautiful, natural-looking polish that’s perfect for a clean, glossy aesthetic!

A perfect shade with a perfect formula

5 months ago
There are few regular nail polishes I like, and these from Essie are among my favorites. Not to mention the perfect shade for the fall/winter season—it's a divine chocolate color. The formula is perfect because it dries very quickly, and just two coats are enough for a beautiful, even color. The shine and finish are unmatched; it doesn't even need a top coat. Longevity is another plus because they stay flawless for many days. The applicator is ideal and makes application a breeze. We love Essie nail polishes, and this shade is so gorgeous and perfect for the season.

Essie's Fringes & Saddle is the perfect vampy deep chocolate brown. It applies beautifully and only needs two coats for rich, opaque coverage. The red undertones keep it from looking flat. A stunning color for fall and winter!

As he has the best colors, the liquid sunrise is a new one for me, and I absolutely love that. I wear it on his own. It lasts me about two weeks, even with washing my dishes, no chipping on one hand I use a topcoat on the other hand, I did not use a topcoat and they both look great. The packaging is always small so if you want to take it on a trip you can and their pricing is always really good. I absolutely love this and highly recommend to everyone who likes to do their nails and it’s also a kid friendly.

Great fall shade. Goes on a bit darker than it looks like in the bottle, but it had great coverage with only two coats. Easy to open bottle, and lasts about 2 weeks after applying a top coat.
