essie Reviews 

This and that nail polish light green, application ok but looked streaky even after essie base coat was applied dried streaky after two thin coats , colour is lovely but application wasn't happy with not my favourite essie colour as I purchase essie a lot

I bought the “no chips ahead” top coat expecting it to keep my polish chip-free for days. Unfortunately, it hasn't even been two days and my nail polish is already peeling off. I don't work a physical job or do heavy labor, so there's no reason for it to wear off this quickly. Don’t get me started on the “gloss”. Very disappointed.

Can’t tell difference between essie and cheap nail polishes

Please avoid
This stuff dries out your nail, right back to the cuticle. Takes months for nails to grow back strong and healthy again.
Used it twice, been painting my nails 40+ years, never had my nails left in such a state. Also impossible to remove, leaves a white colour when you try to remove. If you're not putting on more varnish, it's pretty unsightly

Break fix . Fantastic product. Stops all the peeling catching on my clothes, makes good base for tip when painting nails. Doesnt fall off. If it does maybe your nails too oily . Apply as much or little and often as want. Watch out for curry etc as can stain. Comes off easy so just remove and put new on. So glad I gave it a go

Applies absolutely horribly, streaky, uneven and just messy. Doesn't dry properly either.

Horrible product! It is very thick and fells off by pieces in a couple of hours I also tried to write a review on their website and "Not only did I have a bad experience with the nail polish formula, but their customer platform completely blocks consumers. I tried to submit my review on their website using multiple valid email addresses, and the system rejected all of them as 'invalid' just to stop me from moving forward. It feels like a trick to avoid negative feedback and hide real consumer opinions. Fix your system and start listening to your customers."

This nail polish stained my nails and I honestly don’t think it’s a dark color. If I had known that this would happen I wouldn’t have purchased it. I’m never going to use it, again.

A week ago, I bought Essie Top Coat 00 step 2 at a local drug store. The nail polish is packaged in a white, uniquely shaped bottle and the customer is not able to see the contents of the bottle. I used the nail polish once. When I used the nail polish again today, I noticed that it was difficult to get polish on the brush, like the contents were very low. I tried to look in the bottle and noticed that there was not much nail polish left. I felt like the opaque covering on the bottle allows Essie to underfill the contents of the bottle. I was disappointed and will stick to my normal brand next time.

Absolute rubbish. Sainsbury’s should stop selling this make. When you apply it does not cover smoothly. I can’t believe how poor this product is.

Tried essie ballet slippers with strong start base coat. Polish so thin, never seen a nail varnish that looks like water in the bottle when tipping it sideways. Put 2 thin coats and streaky, awful. Don't think 10 thin coats would even this out. Will use base coat and top coat as will do as no colour but will revert to usual nail polishes which are cheaper. Total disappointment and wished I'd read other reviews before wasting my money!

I was dissatisfied with the product. Price was fairly expensive for a nail polish that chipped daily. Polish cost 12/14$. I could have purchased a cheap polish instead. The colors are nice but the wear is less than subpar. Won’t purchase again

Incredibly disappointed in Essie's new nail polishes lately. For how expensive they are, they shouldn't STAIN YOUR HANDS after removing it with polish remover...

The new expressie line in color 505 is horrible, my fingers and palms are still stained. I have never been more disappointed in a polish in my life.

Thought i would try the New glass nail polish having read some reviews on the colour CinCin and I was not disappointed this colour is like juicy fruit an gorgeous glassy shine absolutely love it

What a waste of money€14.00 down the drain. 1 coat and chips - the nail nurse .. shite

Very bad experience not recommend low service

After deciding to stop having shellac at a salon anymore due to my nails being left brittle and sensitive,I bought the Essie range step 1 and 2. I can honestly say the results are fab. I use the Good as New as a basecoat followed by 2 coats of polish and 1 of the topcoat. Wouldn't use any other brands now. The nude colours are great.

Don't waste your money. I bought two colours and a top coat. The first "colour" looked identical to the top coat....so that was a wasted choice!
The second colour did not cover well, even after two coats. It looked streaky and very unsatisfactory.
BUY ANOTHER BRAND

Essie nail polish is absolute rubbish. Very expensive nail polish which is, in reality, cheap and nasty. It doesn't cover the nail in two coats as advertised. It's patchy, streaks and doesn't dry. It is easily chipped and marked even with the step two coat. I'm surprised that Boots endorse the rubbish.

Nice to apply. I did two coats of the Blue then added the top gel coating all as instructed, last night at around 9pm.
it is still quite transparent (will try three coats next time) and now the next morning I can see the top coat is already showing marks and scuffs with minimal activity. Sealed the edges but considering the results after a few hours, I'm doubtful it will last the number of days stated.
