While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

The worst nail polish I have ever used…

The worst nail polish I have ever used in my entire decades of life.
It is streaky, thin and takes way too much time to dry.

I bought the Snow White colours and they look nice in the bottle but awful on the nail.
How many coats am I supposed to apply in order to even get a vague semblance to the colour??
So, unfortunately, not even a redeeming point on the colour.

On top of this, after one day it has peeled and chipped significantly. And when I say this, I have NEVER used a nail polish that has eroded this badly ever.
Even after a day this is worse than I would say a cheap nail polish erodes in 2 weeks.

Does this company make anything else other than nail polish? How can they then get it soooo wrong??

Skip this brand. ANY other brand is better, no joke.

NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY

I am well aware that Essie.co.uk haven't claimed this reviews page, perhaps because they know they provide terrible service and don't want people commenting on it?

Bottom line - they blatantly lie about ALL their products being vegan friendly when they're not, and have refused to confirm which are and which aren't when asked (I've tried to get this information on 5 separate occasions now, 3 times on the phone and twice in writing). And since I can't confirm any of the products I purchased under false advertising are ACTUALLY vegan, I am now returning them all for a full refund, and will know to avoid Essie products in the future.

VEGANS BEWARE, stick to brands that are happy to accommodate us with clear vegan labelling and transparent information, not a subsidiary of Loreal just trying to bank on the vegan "trend" without actually committing to being vegan friendly.
