Essie Original Nail Polish, Island Hopping, Dusty Purple Nail Varnish

I like Essie as a brand and the shade of ‘Island Hopping’ is as good as the rest. I chose it to match a dress for a wedding and it is just lovely. It is almost a neutral and it really suited and flattered my pale skin tone. It is easy to apply with no clumping. You can get away without a base coat, as there’s no staining, and two thin coats gives a lovely depth. It gave a gorgeous smooth finish with a decent shine as it is, but a clear top coat elevated it again. It did dry pretty quickly, even with multiple coats. It lasted for 6 days with no chipping and very little wear, but I did put the clear coat under the tip of the nail. Really good value and I just love it. Happy to recommend.

Great quality nail varnish. I really like the Essie brand - the coverage is good, could get away with one coat- although I usually prefer to do two coats. Although pricier than the basic brands, I feel the extra money is in the quality here. Nice finish, lasts well, great colour choice- overall worth paying that little bit more.

Beautiful colour with glitter. Needed three coats though as it's a pale colour, but it did dry fairly quickly. Great price for a quality brand.

I got the birthday girl nail polish on sale and can't recommend it enough!! The color is absolutely stunning, there's a lot of really fine glitter that makes this look like a pretty pink gold color. I really love wearing this by itself and also layered over other nail polishes. It adds a really nice gold sheen when you layer it over a different colour. It doesn't take too long to dry, though I did give it at least an hour before washing my hands or doing anything else. Of course, this is a regular nail polish so I'm sure it will get chipped etc but I don't think that is avoidable. I prefer painting my own nails though as it's more cost effective and better for your health (no issues with gel allergies etc.). The nail polish isn't too thick and it's really easy to apply.

I love this nail Polish - It’s a great everyday palest pink - ‘my go to ‘ Drys quickly, goes on smoothly - Great for little ones , big ones - right through to grannies- a suit all colour !

This is 3 layers of the Ballet Slippers shade. You have to layer it up to get it even and streak-less. I still think it looked cute with just 1 layer as I like the sheer look, but for those who want pigment you’ll have to triple layer. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because it seems to be more tan/beige coloured on the advertisement, but in reality it’s more pinkish. Not exactly the colour I wanted but it’s close enough and still cute! It’s mostly white with a very subtle pale pink tone.

Beautiful colour, blends with any clothing I wear. I am also using Essie cuticle oil and nail strengthener. My nails have never looked better. People have commented and are sujrprised when I say they are my own nails.

I have wrote many reviews for essie nail varnish. No, I don’t earn anything with it. I just like it so much. Quality, sickness, quick drying time. The perfect pink for warm months or only if you want to colour up your life

Sehr dezenter Nagellack, der aber super schön aussieht. Mit jeder Schicht wird er intensiver aber auch nur eine Schicht sieht (finde ich zumindest) richtig schön aus, sehr natürlich. Qualität wie von Essie gewohnt.

Echt een aanrader, super mooi
