Love the color but...

3 years ago
I absolutely love this color. But, I have to use like 4 coats for the color to build up and doesn't set properly. Then it only stays on for a few days, bedore chipping and peeling. I got this bottle last year and have had this issue with it since I got it. I've tried different top coats to see if that was the issue

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the color ‘all fun and games’. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with this faded light yellow nail polish. By the second coat, all of our colors should look perfect. Layering on more than 2 coats of color does not usually hold up well on nails. 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

I'm an Essie Girl!

I am an Essie girl through and through! I love the quality and the fact that it actually lasts on my nails for almost a week before it chips! The polish always goes on smooth without bubbles or grit! This is the perfect pastel yellow!

So cute!

4 years ago
This nail polish has a very bright pastel yellow color that really pops! I tested it out by not using and under coat or a top coat when I applied it to my nails. Now I did not get any chipping until three days in (any other polish would have shipped or fallen off by the first day), so I consider this a winner especially when you apply a good top coat! The colors in the collection all work really well together and give a very cute look.

The perfect summer yellow!

Love this yellow nail polish color so much. It truly is the perfect summer yellow! I got so many compliments on my nails when I was wearing the shade. It is bright and cheerful without being too neon. A perfect subtle neutral yellow.

Beautiful Summer Color

4 years ago
Loving this color in the summer. I've used Essie a few times and it seems like the formula hasn't really changed in the past few years. All Fun & Games is a bright yellow. Since it's a lighter color, I had to do 2 layers on each nail. The color started chipping by around 1 week, but I use my hands pretty often so I expect that it would last a little longer for others. Overall, pretty color and easy to apply.

yes, I recommend this product.

My favorite Nail polish!

4 years ago
Essie has been my go to nail polish for the past few years. The colors are always so beautiful and they look just as good on as they do in the bottle. It only takes two coats of this polish to get a perfect covering of your nails. Also, the dry time isn't too terribly long but I usually always use their fast dry so I don't have to wait. I highly recommend!

yes, I recommend this product.

Awesome Colors!

I’ve got this to try and give my honest thoughts. I love this nail polish. It glides smoothly and creamy, the colors are so vibrant and bright. It dries so fast but I highly recommend a top coat if you want it to stay shiny and pretty. You need to try this beautiful nail polish collection.

yes, I recommend this product.

Great colors

4 years ago
I received three colors of Essie nail polish to try in return for my honest review. I will say that the colors were beautiful and, I was excited to give them a try. I painted my nails with one coat. I found the polish to be to thick and, I painted a light coat onto my nails, waited 30 minutes and, they still weren’t dry and, was starting to bubble. I have natural nails. I wasn’t to impressed with this polish and, this polish coat $9.00 a bottle and, is suppose to be nail salon quality ? Maybe these became this way in shipping of the polish through the mail in different climates along the way ? But, honestly I don’t think that is the case. Seeing, that they are shipped to the locations as which they sale these polishes. I am thankful for the opportunity to test these nail polishes. But, I would have to purchase one to actually say that I would recommend these nail polishes to others. On a positive note they do have so many beautiful colors to choose from.

no, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there! We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. Other than beautiful colors, nothing sounds right with the polish you have. Our colors should flow onto the nail bed easily and by the second coat the color should be perfect. Each coat should take only a few minutes to dry and it should never bubble.

Amazing

I am not normally a yellow nail polish person. but this product applies so well and dries so evenly! I love Essie nail polish and am glad to add this one to the collection! I love the applicator, its large and thick so not very many brush strokes to get the job done! 10 out of 10 would recommend

Love the colors!

The polish is the perfect thickness so it spreads easily and gives a great color even with just one coat. The colors are so pretty and vibrant. I was impressed with how fast it dried as well (less than 2 min to be fully dried). I would highly recommend these polishes.
