Durable and lasting shine
a month ago
This nail polish lasted for several days without chips or peeling. The polish was equivalent to having gel on my nails because of the durability. Essie is a brand that I can trust for longevity with no maintenance to my nails. The polish has a built-in harden that makes my nails stronger and therefore promotes healthier and longer nails. The polish goes on smoothly and dries quickly with shine.

Beautiful metallic lilac color!
3 months ago
Essies’s Twisted Tutu lilac color glided on smoothly and dried pretty quickly. Lasted for about three whole days before it started to chip at the edges. That’s about average, in my experience, for non-gel nail polish. Perfect for Spring and Summer.

A perfect polish for every age!
3 months ago
I am absolutely in love with Essie Twisted Tutu nail polish! This gorgeous soft pink shade is everything I could ask for in a nail color. The formula is wonderfully thick, so one single coat is all you need for full, flawless coverage — no streaking, no fuss.
The color itself is stunning - a delicate, feminine pink that looks beautiful on everyone from little girls to adult women. It goes on smooth and dries incredibly fast, which is a total game-changer whether you're doing a quick manicure on yourself or painting tiny nails that can't sit still for long!
What really sets this polish apart is how shiny it looks after drying. It has that freshly-done salon finish without any topcoat needed. It's the perfect color for a mother-daughter spa day, a birthday treat, or just an everyday touch of elegance.
If you're looking for a soft, shiny, easy-to-apply nail polish that works beautifully for all ages, Essie Twisted Tutu is an absolute must-have. I will definitely be repurchasing this one again and again!

Such a pretty color
3 months ago
Beautiful color and formula. Used only one coat with no top coat in pictures. Consistency was perfect and left no clumps. I used the color twisted tutu and love how dainty and feminine it looks.
