Essie polishes are some of my favorites, and this one is no exception. I LOVE this blue color and it lasted pretty well with the top coat that was also sent.

Great for 1.5 weeks!
2 years ago
Application is so easy! Color lasts a little less than one week and chips for me because I never use gloves when I wash dishes and I bump my nails into thing alll the time, but if I trim my nails at the 1 week mark, they look brand new. Could have reached 2 weeks but some of my nails I use a lot and destroy them haha.

Essie does it again
2 years ago
This polish is a gorgeous muted ocean indigo blue. A delightful cream color that works in every season. I’ve enjoyed this Essie line for many years and was super pumped to try out a new color! The top coat that was also sent with the polish works great with several brands even beyond Essie. Very chip resistant and acts like quick dry polish even though it’s not specifically called quick dry. Love it and highly recommend for this summer 💙

Vibrant color that dries quickly
2 years ago
I am very impressed with this nail polish! It is super easy to apply and dries very quickly. I like how vibrant the color is. Compared to other brands, this one did not smell as strongly — which is a huge plus! I am excited to see what other colors they have to incorporate into my nail color collection.

I absolutely love this set, I usually do polygel or acrylic with a gel on top for color; I could definitely see myself using these instead, the dry time is very fast and it feels much more reliable than standard nail polish.

Beautiful and easy to use
2 years ago
This nail polish is beautiful. I did my sister’s nails with it and used 2 coats of the polish then 1 coat of the top coat. It dried very fast and is so easy to use especially if you are someone who struggles with painting your own nails. The color is very beautiful and they have many more options available in stores and online. I will definitely be buying more of these because of how easy the application was.

A little goes a long way!

This nail polish is extremely chip resistant! This line lasts so long on my nails and comes in some great colors ! The only downside is it’s not quick dry, but a little goes a long way so the thinner the better

Ah this color is really pretty! I was excited to try this the second I got it. The color dries slightly darker than the color of the bottle. Double-layered this polish and slapped a top coat on and was good to go! Essie never fails to come out with a good product.

Best Essie product yet
2 years ago
This product is amazing ! The packaging is SO high quality and it applies so smoothly. I don’t like my nail polish to be too thick or thin and this is just right. This picture only has one coat on and it is not see through at all. I have only had it on for two days but not any chipping so far. It dried very quickly ( probably 5 minutes max). Overall I would 100% recommend.

I love this shade of blue! It was a little tricky to apply since I haven't ever used gel nail polish before, but it was easy after the first few nails! I love how quick it dries after each coat! I also stay busy and use my hands alot but surprisingly this nail polish hasn't chipped after my normal day!

Perfect spring color
2 years ago
This is the perfect spring transitional shade. Irl it looks like your favorite pair of jeans- the ones that curve your body perfectly. It's not the typical pastel that you'd expect from a spring line. It has depth. It's dark enough to not be jarring when it's still cool out but light enough to rock through summer.

Doesn't chip. Great colors and shine.

I am so excited to try this Statement Piece. It's a rich sapphire blue long-dead vegan gel nail polish with red undertone. I am so in love with it. I love this color. It doesn't peal off, it's not to strong in smell and it last on your finger nails for a long time know matter how many times you wash your hands. It's very shiny after you put on the top gel clear coat making the shine last for 14 day's. Essie nail polish comes in a variety of colors and it comes off easy with regular nail polish. The bottle design is brilliant fits in your palm perfectly. I'm just so excited to try other colors now.
👍👍👍

I would definitely recommend this product
2 years ago
It’s very nice. There’s a light shimmer in the polish but it’s not sparkly at all, the shimmer just gives a little extra dimension in certain lights. The blue is quite pretty too. I used to have a sweatshirt that matched it perfectly and I’m regretting giving it away. The polish lasts a lot longer than my usual ones and applies a lot nicer than my sally hansen two step no light “gels”. This was also opaque enough with only two thin coats and the topper so I’m less likely to chip at the polish (my go to anxiety habit whenever I’m wearing polish).

I'm absolutely obsessed with this Essie Be Dazzled Nail Polish! This is a rich sapphire blue with red undertones. It's vegan, long wearing, and quick drying. This was dried within seconds of applying. I did finish it with the Essie top coat which will help it to dry quicker and last longer! I've had this on my toenails for almost a week now, and it hasn't chipped, or anything! I've received a ton of compliments! The color just stands out and has a beautiful shine to it. I will say, this is definitely the best nail polish that I have tried in a while! Most definitely recommend!!

This color is so pretty! It reminds me of denim and is such a beautiful color for spring! It dries beautifully and no chipping so far and it's been a week!

Haven’t painted my nails in a while but this came out pretty well. It chipped about an hour after application but it could be user error, I may have applied to thick of a layer that never dried. Love the color. Feels durable and love the extra protection of a top coat.

Essie Statement Peace is a pretty bluish/purple color. I thought it was going to be a darker blue but it reminds me of a shade of periwinkle. I painted my mom's nails and applied 2 coats of Statement Peace followed by Essie's top coat. I will update after wearing for a week or two.

Beautiful Sapphire Blue Color

I have received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Essie Statement Peace 2 step Gel nail polish is a very beautiful shade of sapphire blue. It dried fast and had a really nice hard gel coat. It was very easy to apply and easy to remove. It held up to many hand washings (I wash my hands very, very often for my job) and didn't chip. This beautiful shade was durable and long-lasting. I would definitely recommend and repurchase. I loved this brand of gel polish. Thank you! #incentivized

Color me

First, it’s talk about the bottle the presentation is definitely different. The brush is big enough to spread over your nail in twice to cover the whole thing. Next talk about the color it’s nice it’s not too dark it’s like a grayish blue I put two coats on each nail and the color popped. The topcoat makes it shiny and durable. Can’t wait to see how long this last.

Pretty, longwearing nail polish!

Essie has always been my go to nail polish brand. This is a beautiful and rich color. The brush applicator makes it very easy to glide the polish on neatly. I applied the polish with the essie top coat and it had a pretty, glossy finish. So far ive been delighted about how chip resistant it is. Ive received many compliments on it. Highly recommend.

Great quality

I did only one layer of color and the top coat that came with it. I think a second coat would look nicer, but in a quick pinch one layer is good enough! I like that the brushes are wide enough to cover most of my nail in one go. The polish is high quality and very smooth. Would recommend. Thank you influenster for sending me this in exchange for an honest review.

Fun color!

I typically get my toes and nails done at the salon but decided to save money and do my own after receiving this nail Polish. The color is really fun and versatile for every season. Paint went on smoothly and dried fast. Instructions were clear right on the bottle with the steps of the color and clear coat I received. Love the Essie brand though and would purchase again! Excited to see how long these last.
