Essie reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Expansive, trendy color range
- Smooth, glossy formula application
- Longer-wear gel couture system
- Fast-drying expressie options
- Occasionally thin, sheer coverage
- Inconsistent, small brush applicator
- Chips sooner than competitors
- Occasional strong chemical scent
Essie earns strong reviews as a reliable, salon-classic polish brand that generally performs well—vivid colors, smooth glide, and lines like Gel Couture and Expressie deliver long wear and fast dry—yet coverage can be thin in sheers and some shades, and chipping occurs sooner than top competitors for certain users. Reviews also note mixed brush experiences (some love the wider, simple applicator; others find it small or inconsistent) and occasional strong scent, making Essie a color-forward favorite with a few formula and applicator caveats.

My go-to for nail polish! Whenever I go to the store, Essie is the first brand I look at. They have such a gorgeous variety of colours, their bottles are super cute, and I know they are good quality. I've been using them since I was a teenager, and nothing else has ever matched up! Sometimes I find other brands are super runny or I need to put multiple coats to get the same effect, but Essie has a good consistency and opacity where I only need to put 2 or 3 coats depending on how vibrant I want it!
