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 - 9 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 - 8 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.

    Missing Item

    Ordered for my wife along with several other items. This was not included in the delivered package. I tried to address this online with options available but was unable to click this particular item because as it stated only available for in store return. Well I never received it so it would be hard to return wouldn't it. Option 2 is call store directly and of course this is the last thing you want to do after working all day. Guys either put it in the package ot streamline your processes to make it more convient for those that shop your store.

    Color is weird after drying

    This color goes on so pretty, once it's dried...not so much. Such a bummer. It looks more magenta than a hot-ish pink.
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 12 days ago
    Hello B! Thank you for taking the time to review Pencil Me In! We're glad you enjoyed the initial application, but we're sorry to hear that the final dried color leaned more magenta than the hot pink you were expecting. Shade accuracy is very important to us, and we appreciate you sharing your experience so we can pass this feedback along to our product development team.

    my fav fast drying nail polish

    Love this nail polish because it dries in less than 3 minutes which is super convenient for me personally! Have over 10 colors at this point! only downside is it tends to chip off after a couple days with my lifestyle.

    Not the best

    At some points looks like cheap Barbie polish when applied. It applies patchy. One coat some areas look more pigmented than others. Then it doesn’t even dry down well. Still feels sticky and it’s easy to take off. Almost like peelable nail polish. Shade vanity fairest.
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 27 days ago
    Hello J! We are so sorry to hear that Vanity Fairest did not give you that flawless, salon-smooth finish we always strive for. Since this is one of our beloved sheer shades, it can sometimes apply unevenly if the layers are a bit too thick, which also prevents the formula from drying down completely and leads to that sticky, easily peeled feel. For a beautifully even and long-lasting manicure, we suggest wiping your nails with polish remover first to clear away any natural oils, and then applying two very thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry completely before the next. Finishing with a dedicated top coat will also lock in that classic, sheer glow and ensure it dries down to a hard, high-shine finish.

    Speing yellow

    Color much lighter than picture
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 2 months ago
    Hello Gg08! We are so sorry to hear that the shade All Fun & Games turned out to be much lighter than you expected from the pictures. Online photos can sometimes display slightly differently depending on screen settings and lighting, and this particular pastel shade is designed to be soft and airy. To help bring out the full depth of the color and make it look truer to the bottle, we suggest applying two to three thin coats, allowing each layer to dry completely in between, and finishing with a high-shine top coat to lock in the pigment.

    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.

    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.
