Essie did it again! Handmade with love is perfect!
3 years ago
I am such a fan of Essie's nail polish line. Not only because they have the best lineup and variety of colors (with constant new releases of new lines / colors), but because their product quality is unbeatable. And this new line, specifically "Handmade with love" is the perfect new color for Spring and Summer.
I am consistently impressed with Essie, and despite trying all other competitors (OPI, China Glaze etc.), Essie comes out as the superior brand/product line each time (longer lasting, smoother application, more colors, more fun color releases, more chip resistant). I'm such a fan that I look forward to Friday afternoons when I treat myself to a new color for the upcoming week. Cannot express enough what a great brand with high quality products and an amazing lineup of colors Essie is!!
Pros:
- Goes on smooth. Thicker brush allows for easy application
- Dries quickly
- Handmade with love color is bright and fun, an orangey sort of coral color with a little extra pizazz
- I've also used it for accent colors on a couple of manicures and it's a great pop on a more natural background (have done polkadots and small flowers)
Cons:
- Literally none, get ready for warmer weather and buy this color immediately! And every other color!
yes, I recommend this product.

I love the colors they are so vibrant. Typically have to put several layers on with other brands. With this brand 2 coats provided full coverage. The polish is long lasting. So far it has been 2 weeks and despite washing dishes several times no chips or cracks in the polish.

Beautiful coverage and color

I will forewarn you and say my hands aren't the prettiest. I've worked in the food industry for awhile & my hands are in water at least 1/4 of my day. So I dont have acrylics or long nails and around the edges are a bit rough. ESSIE makes them pretty though and this is such a gorgeous summer spring color. Even better that it's 8free and better for us and the environment. Still smells like nail polish just not as strong. Also I love that I don't have to do multiple coats and the cute names are super fun to look at it and for at the store. I can't wait to use this on my toes too. I didn't use a top coat on this and it lasted shiny and beautiful for about a week and a half at work. Which says alot with hot water gloves sanitizer and frosting being a regular part of my days.

This orange color is perfect for summer! After one coat the nail polish was so pigmented. You can get away with one coat. The nail polish was long lasting. It didn't chip for over a week. It also dried quickly and went on smooth. Love the formula and color!

The color is perfect for date night or work. It has a wonderful pigment and stayed on for 2 weeks without chipping. I did need two coats but I like it to stay on for a while, you could get away with one coat though! Such a pretty color!

Great summer colors
4 years ago
I always love using Essie for nail polish so I was excited to try the color line, handmade with love. This nail polish is easy to apply and any brush lines smooth out as the paint dries. I like how long the nail polish last and how shiny it looks once dry. I really like the color, To DIY For. It’s a beautiful coral pink color. I also got the color, in pursuit of craftiness. It’s a fun light lavender color. I definitely recommend these colors and the brand.

Bright

The handmade with love nail polish is a very bright and fun color which is great for spring and summer. Although it’s vibrant, however, I noticed on the fifth day the polish began to chip off. I’ll do admit I did not apply a top coat, so I recommend doing so as you might get a different outcome. The nail polish is opaque enough, where you don’t need to do multiple passes, where one pass is good. However, your nail must be clean of any other nail polish, before I applied my nail polish I had a little bit of a dark brown polish color on my nails and when I applied this nail polish thinking it will cover it up, it did not. So it is opaque on freshly clean nails. Also I didn’t like the brush used to apply the nail polish because I found the bristle not too straight, although that could have been just a one off thing, however I found when I dipped the polish with the brush the nail polish formed a glob and ran down the brush. This cause a bit of nail polish to fall down on my pants while applying the polish to my nails. Be on the lookout for that. I was able to remove the polish that fell on my pants easily with nail polish remover.

Consumer Care Center
Hello there Gabster! Thanks for trying out the new color Handmade With Love. We love how the bright coral looks in your pics! Our larger brush has a rounded edge to better follow the natural curve of your nails near the cuticle.
Essie pro tip: to further extend the life of your nail polish, apply a thin layer of top coat every two days after your manicure. This re-stabilizes the polish, further preventing chips, and refreshes the shine. Always remember to polish along the tip of the nail with each step. By capping the tip of each nail, the polish can hug our nail even closer, prolonging the wear of your color manicure!

I just love coral nail polish!!!
4 years ago
I have bought nail polish from this brand and got them as a gift when I was in college. I fell in love with how pigmented they were. So I got these three nail polishes. On the picture, I only have a coat on my nails since I don't like wearing two coats. Unless the nail polish is missing color or pigment. I did the design and put a clear top coat. Still they look like the first time I applied it. And it's been like a week. Plus, it is easy to take off too. My favorite color is the coral one, I mean the other colors are pretty. But I love coral, it is one of my favorite colors. This little collection is great for spring but I use any color, not matter the season. I would try to do more designs but I'm out of practice. A long time, I don't wear nail polish on my hands. Great way to start again, with a brand that last, is pigmented and have a variety of colors.
yes, I recommend this product.
