    My New Go To Polish

    Absolutely love the shade Prima Plum. It has a dual iridescent shimmer of pink and blue. The quality of this shade of polish is better than many Essie colors that tied to be too thick and clumpy.

    Quality Polish

    I got the shade Ballet Slippers. It is the perfect light pink neutral. It makes my nails look so clean and put together. It is easy to apply and is opaque with two coats. I used it with the quick dry top coat from Essie and it only took a few minutes to dry. It has a nice shine to it, but it’s even better with a top coat. It lasts longer than other polishes, especially on my toes. Definitely recommend!

    Refreshing

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where easy to apply only need to coats. If you want, a darker can be worn with one coat. Very good quality sizes. Perfect. We use your nails, looking refreshed and ready to go. Good price point

    Love it, just wish it would dry faster.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been triying out this nail polish for a while now and I'm going to start by saying that I love the color, it looks like a natural pink so I love that. It does take 3 layers to look nice and even and more pigmented, it takes a while to dry though, I don't know of its the 3 layers but even one takes a while. On my toe nails lasts a long time but on my finger nails it's gone after a few days. It's easy to apply, I love the brush it's thin and easy to use.

    Very beautiful color

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An elegant, simple, and timeless polish; perfect if you prefer a natural look. Since it is very sheer, you need 2-3 coats to really see the color.

    Delicate finish, quick-drying, and impeccable presentation.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Mademoisselle shade is a must-have if you’re looking for a subtle manicure. The packaging arrived in perfect condition, and the instructions for use are very clear. It exceeded my expectations with how quickly it dries and how long-lasting it is. It’s probably makes it perfect to keep in your purse for quick touch-ups. It’s such a versatile and feminine color

    Sheer but beautiful

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie nail polish has always been one of my favorite lines. The colors are so rich and vibrant. This one was first time trying a lighter color. I tried the shade “mademoiselle” and it was definitely different from any shade I’ve tried but still so beautiful. It was very sheer so if you want a more pink look it is best to add a few coats. I love how smooth my nails feel after applying this polish and it dries down fairly quickly. Such a pretty and classy shade!

    Easy to use

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie has been a go to nail brand. The applicator is so easy to use it lays down flat and hugs your nail bed. This color mademoiselle is the perfect shade of pink for the girls who like to stick to neutral colors.

    Actually sucks.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1 star because that’s what this gets. The color is adorable and pretty in pink but I wish it spread well and didn’t look spotted. It looked pretty bad that I just had to remove it. Wish Essie made the consistency thicker. For its value, should be worth it but it’s not. Don’t recommend.

    Too translucent

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This polish is such a pretty and subtle color, but it’s too translucent for my liking. I have to apply 3 coats just for the color to show but then worry about smudging during drying with so many layers

    Long wearing quality polish!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this polish I’ve never had this brand before and I was pleasantly surprised how awesome it is! This color is sheer which I like you can layer it to make it more saturated. I’ve tried other brands and they peel and start coming off in a day or two this lasted for a long time before I just decided to take it off. Love this and will for sure be buying some other colors!

    A soft pink with glass-like shine that last a week without chipping.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie Mademoiselle is a soft, romantic pink with a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully. The formula applies smoothly in just two coats, with no streaking or bubbling. Coverage is opaque and even, and it dries with a glossy, glass- like finish that lasted over week without chipping. Perfect for a polished, elegant everyday look.

    Not my favorite nail polish!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've gotta be honest, this wasn't my favorite nail polish. It brushed on nicely, but the color was too light and took too many layers and I don't have the patience to wait for that many layers to dry in-between! Overall it seems pretty decent quality, but the shade just wasn't dark enough.

    I've been really enjoying this Essie nail polish. The formula goes on smoothly, dries fairly quickly, and gives a beautiful, even finish.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been really enjoying this Essie nail polish. The formula goes on smoothly, dries fairly quickly, and gives a beautiful, even finish. I love this soft nude shade because it matches everything and makes my nails look clean and polished. It lasts several days without chipping when I use a top coat, and it's become one of my go-to colors for an effortless everyday manicure. I would definitely repurchase it!
