Essie Nail Lacquer #162-Ballet Slippers 13,5 Ml

This is such a pretty color !! And this polish dried instant as long as you have the top coat !

Wow. This stuff is legit! Day 10 & still going. Gel manicures ruined my nails so I will never do them again. But regular polish, even expensive enamel, never makes it to day three. By the second day, it’s chipping and peeling, and looks horrible. I’m just in water too much, using my nails for everything, so it is not worth the trouble. BUT… I put this stuff on and 10 days later it still looked pretty good! It’s unbelievable. It didn’t start really coming off until I took it off. In the picture you can see a little wear at the ends of my nails and around the cuticles, where I picked at it. Also, the color - Perfect Posture, was a little too shockingly white-ish purple (Halloweenie, according to my son and friends), so I mixed in a little of a mauve Essie color called Take Me To Thread, also an Essie gel couture color. Other than prep my nails really well, the only other thing I did was add an extra topcoat on day three, thinking I might be able to get four or five days out of it. I never imagined I would get 10 days! No lie, people. This stuff is a game changer. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, I’m wearing polish again. My new favorite right now is a color called Tassel Free. Also including a picture of that on day 3 after application. (No 2nd topcoat).

Love this stuff! Glossy finish, dries fast, has good staying power!

Perfect green

I disposed of all other brands a few years ago. Most of the time the polish doesn’t last as long as they claim especially if you wash dishes and clean. However, it does last longer than all other brands I used. It also never chips so badly that I have to hide my nails. Often only obvious to me. The trick is to put all coats on very thinly and only two coats of color, never three. It’s super easy to take off with just regular nail polish remover. I never have to scrub or file the color off. The polish makes my nails stronger and they grow longer. The clear bottle lasted a couple of years and that’s with using it weekly. The color will last me longer because I have so many colors To switch off with. I have used Essie almost my whole life. I was worried when she sold the company but they have only improved it. There are some colors, like cantaloupe that I wish they’d resurrect. This color wool me over is really nice it’s a tan shade, a tightly darker than my skin tone. It’s what I was looking for. Also seems to be cheaper on Amazon than the box stores.

LOVE #139- Matier of Fiction🤍. Okay so at first i was like $9 for a nail polish is crazy but i gave it a try (especially cause i’ve had bad experiences with products from this brand being expired). Anyways so I tried it. 1st coat was UGLY, i let it air dry with a fan for 5 minutes, then applied 2nd coat, looked beautiful but still needed a little more (also let it dry for 5 minutes). Then i did a 3rd coat and let it dry for 10 minutes (i was also fanning it). And then added a Top Coat from Essie brand and it looked AMAZING. I don’t know how to do my nails but these were personally my best and i’m so happy with the results. I was scared it wouldn’t turn out good, the point is doing thin coats and waiting a good amount of time between the coats. Give it a try, I love it ! (Pictures show 1 coat -3 coat (pic outside looks way diff) and a video of how the color looks inside)

Not Returnable! Terrible quality. 2 coats of color and 1 clear top coat and every nail tip was chipped by the next day. DO NOT BUY!

Soy mamá de dos toddlers y mi tiempo libre es escaso. Con estos esmaltes me pinto las uñas y se secan en diez minutos.

Absoluter Lieblingslack (nicht nur diese Farbe) Macht die Nägel nicht kaputt, hält super lange und trocknet schnell

The nail polish is really thick ( old?) and does shades. I had another colour from this brand and I keep coming back. Very disappointed with quality of the product.

I have become such a fan of Expressie as it goes on easily, the colours are amazing and it lasts quite well. It may not last as long as some others (base coat, nail polish then top coat) but you need one product and that's it. It doesn't get any better than this. This colour is more transparant that others but I quite like it and will look for more of these.

Nice colour

nice color, fast dry
