Nail polish

I really did enjoy this nail polish. I just think it lacked some durability though. Could of been just me though because I am rough on my hands but the polish does chip some after a few days. I loved the lavender purple, it is such a cute color.

yes, I recommend this product.

It is a nice color not exactly what I expected. I am still unsure if it looks good with my skintone.

Easy to wear and very versatile color. Perfect for many occasions. The formula is easy to use not super clumpy, glides in well with the brush and a little goes a long way. Definitely loved it so much had to grab more colors

Beautiful nail polish!

This nail polish is so beautiful. It went on so very smoothly and dried so very fast. It was so easy to apply this polish. It has very good coverage so you don’t have to put on too many layers.

yes, I recommend this product.

Love the color

I love love LOVE this color! It’s not too bright and not to dull and boring. The finger nail polish itself doesn’t have a strong smell like some of them do which is great since I have headaches when it comes to strong smells. It dries pretty fast and doesn’t chip easily.

yes, I recommend this product.

Great polish

I absolutely love Essie products. They are a little more expensive but totally worth it. It is not too thick it is not too watery. It is the perfect consistency. I really love how fast it dries. Usually with other brands I have issues with getting prints or smudges on my nails even after the polish dries but not with this. The colors are so pretty and perfect for summer.
