Essie nail varnish's have been in Boots stores for a few months now which is where I came across them, and I am a total Essie convert!
The Essie range has the most fantastic colour range (especially in nude shades) and the shades are such in that there is only a slight difference between each shade as you go up the colour spectrum so you can spend ages deciding between two nude shades that there is only a slight difference in colour between (this is speaking from experience as my husband got very frustrated me standing for ages in Boots uhming and ahhing over prospective shades). I now have a few of the Essie shades with an eye for purchasing more, but this review is for this gorgeous bright coral/orange shade which is called Tarte Deco (such a fantastic name!!!).
First off the brush on the nail varnish has to be the best brush for applying varnish as it is wide and flat and you only need two strokes (if that) and your nail is covered! The colours tend to only need a couple of coats for them to go opaque and they are fast drying, this colour in particular I did two/three coats on to get the desired opaque look and it dried in a couple of minutes after the last coat. I am also quite impressed with how the colours last on the nails (more so the nude shades), they aren't as great as say Nails Inc but they do have good staying power which is good, however I always find you want to change your nails after a couple of days anyway so it doesn't really matter that much on staying power unless a varnish chips straight away! Like I said Tarte Deco is a fantastic coral/orange colour which is a perfect shade for summer or in winter would be fantastic on the toes to add a bit of brightness to those dark nights! I would definitely recommend the Essie polishes for fun colours and great application and will be bringing some other reviews on their shade shortly.
