Q: how many uses do you think i could get out of one bottle of this essie nail polish

submitted by giginails - 6 years ago

  • A: Hi giginails! This will vary for each individual person based on the number of coats used, but you can typically get 4 to 5 manicures out of one bottle of nail polish. Hope this helps!

    submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 6 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: Hey! Ive had my ballet slippers shade for about 6 months and its just now starting to get sticky. Ive probably done about 15 manis AND pedis because I always keep my toes and nails matching. Now I’m searching for another bottle/color so it will be fresh! hope this helps:)

    submitted byTarget shopper - 5 years ago

  • A: I have used Essie for 2+ decades and I can get way more then 4 to 5 manis from one bottle. Maybe they mean if done 4 to 5 coats on every finger and toe you'll get 4 to 5 mani/pedis, but even that seems like alot less then i get from a bottle. On a conservative side I'd say more like 10 total uses of 3 coats each digit full mani/pedis (i used to do this monthly with their sheer flesh color "high matience" for a few years, and I dont recall needing to buy new bottles excessively. )

    submitted byThorn Bone - 7 months ago

Q: Why are the pictures not matching up with the essie nail colors? For example, "Clothing Optional" is supposed to be a rosey color but it shows up as gray. Want to make sure I'm ordering what I need.

submitted by kfern - 8 years ago

  • A: yes i ordered the purple and mine was dark dark purple

    submitted bygiginails - 6 years ago

  • A: I'm not sure why it doesn't match up. The color I received was sage/ grey not teal at all.

    submitted byJamie - 7 years ago

  • A: I ordered Go Ginza-a nice light purple, I got Go Ginza a super pale lilac-almost white!!! so sad. I'm returning for the Play date-which looks a bit dark, but it should be perfect cuz they seem much lighter in person.

Q: is this gel nail polish

submitted by Laura - 3 years ago

  • A: Hi there Laura! The shape of the bottle will help you tell which nail formula you’re looking at. The Gel Couture nail enamels come in the bottle with a twisted shape. The classic nail enamels come in the iconic square bottles and the quick dry colors come in the elongated bottle.

    submitted byEssie Team - 3 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: Great question Laura! Our salon-quality nail color formula is a traditional nail polish, not gel. It has flawless coverage and high glossy shine. For real-time answers to all your beauty questions, use the “Chat with a Virtual Beauty Consultant” button on any beauty product page.

    garbage

    this nail polish is really hard to use and work with, even with really good nail polish remover. it's kind of goopy but also runny and thick at the same time? if it gets into any crevices, especially in your toenails, you can guarantee they're never seeing the light of day again. and why in the world is it so sticky? maybe it's just the white one, but don't waste your $10 on this. remind me to stick with the sally hansen next time.

    This nail polish kind of sucks?

    I don't know if I'm using this wrong, but I tried to do french tips and it's really bad. The nail polish becomes tacky immediately after applying, making it extremely difficult to manipulate if you make a mistake. Then it became bumpy and uneven when I tried to fix it. I can't say how easy it is to remove though because my acetone is even worse than this nail polish, it did absolutely nothing. Soap and water didn't help either, so I guess it's pretty durable.

    Not Creamy Butter color, more of a yellow margerine

    Great polish but the color shows darker than the photo online. I was hoping it was a true butter color, white and creamy colored. But it wears with 2 coats as a more yellow margarine color. Great polish quality though as usual with Essie.

    Not the color pictured

    The color is way off from the nail polish. The color, Lady Like, looks pink in the picture and this is a definite brown in person. So disappointing.

    Loved and lost

    I used Vanity Fairest for years, it was the perfect sheer nude pink with a bit of sparkle, great for year-round and a wonderful neutral without being boring. HOWEVER, Essie changed the formula and while it's still sheer, the sparkle is gone and its overall color is just another boring pink. Shame on you Essie.

    1 reply from Essie Team team - 27 days ago
    Hi there! We are very sorry to hear that your bottle of Go Ginza arrived with a thick and chunky consistency. This is certainly not the salon-quality experience we aim to provide. Since you purchased this at Target, we recommend visiting their guest services for a quick exchange or return. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

    Differing Colors

    Love the Essie Nail polish as always but the photos of this specific color are not anything like it is in real life. I ordered it online and instead of it being a bright, vibrant summer color, it’s more of a pale pistachio.

    Color online not accurate

    If purchasing online, beware the color pictured is not accurate. Play Date is a deep lavendar, and does not have pink like in the picture, and go ginza is a pale lavendar, not light pink.
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 1 month ago
    Hi there! We appreciate you sharing this feedback about our Nail Polish in Play Date. We understand how frustrating it is when the shade shown online does not accurately reflect the color you receive, especially when those undertones make a big difference in choosing the right polish. We also appreciate you pointing out the difference with Go Ginza. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

    Pretty

    This is the only nail polish I buy because it dries quickly, sets beautifully, and lasts longer than any others I’ve tried. The finish always looks smooth and polished without much effort. This shade is especially lovely on and has such a flattering, clean look.
