Essie nail varnish

[QueenoftheNights]

Is brilliant. I am not a nail varnish guru but I've got some Essie and am amazed at how it stands up to housework and even gardening.Two coats and it doesn't budge for almost a week.

A week sounds promising!
I bought a bottle of Essie Ballet Slippers, to use while having a break from gels ( due to go for surgery next week, and won't be allowed to wear polish).
I applied two coats last night, with Miracle Cure as a base coat, and Essie gel look top coat.
Will see how long it lasts;I am pleased with the look,anyway.

Yes love the gel look top coat and Essie colours, brilliant.

The gel top coat and Essie gel nail colours are fantastic. Last for ages! I've stopped getting mine done professionally.

I am a massive fan of Essie, their gel colours in particular. My nails look professionally done for a fraction of the time and cost.

Same here - Essie + Seche Vite as a top coat looks like a professional pedicure when I use it. Too Too Hot is my favourite for summer

Plumberry is my fave - did it last night and keep admiring it

Dmum usually wears Too Too Hot.

Drop the Gown is on my toes, it's a gorgeous ruby red.

Too Too Hot is a lovely colour. Rock the Runway is another fab red, and I've just discovered Russian Roulette.

I love Essie polishes and the strengthening primer is great too. I think it's called millionails or similar. I had really soft nails prone to breaking and peeling, probably because I bit them until quite recently. I've been using this for a couple of months and they're growing nicely and feel solid and strong now.

I've never used the gel- isn't it impossible to remove?

I just slap on 2 coats of the normal polish and it stays put. I also use Rimmel and Mavala but Essie seems to last much longer.

It's not gel that requires curing under a UV lamp. It's applied and removed just like normal nail varnish.

I just have super strength polish remover and it comes off fine.

Essie nail varnish is my new addiction after I bought last year's advent calendar in the Superdrug sale. I have 30ish bottles now and it lasts much longer than much more expensive varnishes.

Love, love, LOVE Essie. I have several, but my fave is For the Twill of It - what a magnificent colour(s)!

I love Essie polish. It's the best brand that I've used.
This year summer toes have been Fifth Avenue - a lovely bright (slightly orange based) red. Goes well with olive toned skin. Russian roulette is lovely too and is postbox red.
Chinchilly is a lovely greige for autumn.
