Essie: Case Study



Name: Case Study

Collection: Essie’s Fall 2011 Book Bag

Colour: Taupe/ Camel

Coats: 1 coat

Pros: This was the first Essie polish that I have ever tried, and I must say I am very happy with it. It was so quick and easy to apply! Only one, fast drying coat left a smooth and polished finish. I was impressed with how long it lasted (4 days) with only one coat.

Cons: This is not a high shine polish and the colour is a neutral so it’s not the most exciting look. Additionally, it can look a little dull on some skin tones because of its green undertones.

    I love the coverage with this polish as I don't have much patience for the drying in-between coats.

    What a lovely taupe colour! 3 days with only 1 coat? pretty impressive. I usually wear 2 coats + top coat so it lasts :) xx

      Thanks Judy, this is my kind of polish, long wearing, one coat and quick drying. I hope to feature more Essie polishes to see if all there polishes are similar.

      Thanks Alexa, yeah a neutral colour is great for those times when you have to look professional and not overstated! This one fits the bill.

    I like this colour. I am into browns these days and this would probably look great on me. I'd have to look it up and get it for myself.

    Thanks so much for the review.

    I love Essie, they have the prettiest pastels =) This one looks cute, but maybe not for me because of my skin tone! Love how neat you put polish!

    What a lovely, creamy colour! I actually like the fact that it has no high shine polish! So your con is actually my pro :)
    The colour suits your skin tone really well. With these colours it's kinda risky!
