I was having a sort out of my nail polishes last week and realised that Essie is still a firm favorite polish of mine, along with Barry M.Essie I think isn't expensive but is on the higher side of what I would happily pay for a polish. I personally don't think spending anything more than £10 on a regular polish is worth it when you can get just as good for less. (I will admit though, I have paid out for a few Chanel polishes in my time mainly because of hype)
I thought I would share with you today the Essie Polishes I own. These are definitely my most worn nail varnishes in my collection.
Starting with the more nude shades I have Fiji, a baby pink color that is a little bit of pain to apply but well worth the effort if you love milky pink nails.
A more pinky/purple nude is Lady Like, a great color for sleek nails for the workplace.
Sticking to the greige nude tones I also have Chinchilly which is a bit darker and more gray than Lady Like.
Lastly is Sand Tropez the perfect beige nude shade which gives you a polished and clean manicure.
The last three shades are more 'colourful' but still in the safe color zone. I think this next shade is called Cocktail Bling but for some reason it isn't written on the bottle so I am going by memory. It is a muted lilac/blue shade with a bit of grey, a hard one to explain but a lovely unique shade.
One of the most popular Essie Shades is Mint Candy Apple, a pastel blue/green shade. I love wearing this in the summer.
Last but not least is the shade Wicked, a deep red that can look nearly black in some lights. This along side Sand Tropez is probably my most worn nail polishes.
Do let me know what your favorite Essie polish, I am always up for adding to my collection.
