worst nail polish

Did not receive my delivery of this. Fire the employees.

I noticed the majority of the positive reviews are from a product promotion. Here’s a review from someone who didn’t get this for free: don’t waste your money, or at least not on the Cosmic Chrome color. It chips within a day, with or without a base/top coat, whether I wear it alone or layer it on top of another color. I an being generous by rating it 2 stars because the effect is actually really pretty and the formula goes on smoothly and streak-free. Other than that, do not ruin a good manicure with this polish that’s more sensitive than an eggshell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Astral aura is the perfect name for this nail polish because this special effects top coat adds the most magical effect to any nails. Especially over pink nails, this top coat adds this extra wow effect that I’m obsessed with. The nail polish dries very quickly, it took around 2 minutes to dry and my favorite part is that it actually is very chip resistant! I used it on top of a layer of a plain pink polish from essie and it lasted a full week before chipping which is 2x as much as any other brand I tried. The top coat has beautiful shimmers of pink and red in it, and it looks amazing as it glitters in the light. Overall, this top coat is so easy to use and instantly amplifies any plain nail polish to something looking magical!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My favorite nail polish! I like that the color is like a color shifting of pink & yellow. It can be applied by itself or layered. The packaging is nice as well. The scent smells like nail polish, but not a strong scent. It dries quickly with a top & base coat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like to put nail pads in my nails. I tried a lot of brands. This is the first time I tried ESSIE product and I really like it. It is so good and shiny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shade to me feels like the grown up version of the fun glittery top coats I used to wear with huge chunks of glitter in my early 20’s. But more subtle and refined. I love the blue pink reflects! You can layer this and amp up the coverage of the sparkle and shine - I used flash to try to show that here. Left is 1 coat & right is 2. Texture and application was great. Dried quickly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So pretty, pink and subtle. I loved this, the polish was very easy to apply and dry down, lasted a good amount of days without chipping. I used it layered on top of a white nail color but it looked very pretty on its own shimmering in the sun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a a magical looking pink and purple glitter. Dries really fast. Would look beautiful over another polish but looks adorable on its own as well.

A sheer, shimmer/glitter nail polish is my go-to, and this couldn’t be better. I’ve been searching for a pink glitter polish, but I’ve only seen silver or gold glitters in a sheer pink base. Essie knocked this one out of the park for me. I love the subtle flash of pink. The formula is long-lasting, especially compared to other glitters/shimmers, which can flake off within a few days. It’s a durable, smooth finish. I worried about drying time which was mentioned in some reviews, but I didn’t have any problem. I can’t wait to try more colors!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty in Pink. The Astral Aura pink is the perfect girly color with tons of sparkle. It’s easy to apply and dries super quickly. This is my go to color and looks great with any outfit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great nail polish. I like to to down. I like to put down a base layer first and then put a layer of this over the top so you can really see the pink shine pop. This is super fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful, color shifting, sheer jelly polish. It can be worn by itself or with a solid color under. The glitter is purple and the polish base color has a gold shift. It's very trendy and cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not sure if this is supposed to be applied on top of a solid base or not. I think the color would appear bolder that way. The shine is pretty and holographic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a gorgeous shade of pink! The shimmer is stunning. I liked the shape of the brush as it made the nail polish very easy to apply. The scent wasn't overpowering, which I appreciated. I like that it has vegan ingredients. I used 3 coats in order to achieve the look I was going for. But this would also work great as a top coat to add some shimmer to a flat color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie ethereal espape in astral aura is a bubble pink special effects nail polish. When combined with an Essie nail color gives a beautiful Halo graphic, and light reflective finish. It's shimmering and glittery, and sparkles like pearls. After applying the Essie( here to stay) base coat, I combined this glittery purple to my Expressive quick dry color Power Moves (deep pink). I finished with Essie Quick dry too cost for that extra shine. Both the special effects polish and nail color combined gave a special effects multi dimensional look on my nails. I couldn't quit looking at them, and believe me the special effects go unnoticed. I received many compliments from family and friends. The ethereal espape can be used with any of the colors from the Essie collection. It can be used alone or layered as well. It's nail art at It's finest, and kudos to Essie for creating this beautiful special effects nail polish. It's highly pigmented, and is a Vegan formula. I totally recommend this product, and you won't be dissatisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item free for my honest review Essie is such a great quality polish, no chipping, peeling or flaking even after a week of hard wear! That being said these specific colors are definitely sheer and would be best used as a top coat over an opaque color to add an opalescent shimmer. This is two coats for reference

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is so sparkly and pretty. I absolutely love it. It's so pretty, and you will probably need to do a couple of layers, but it is totally worth it, and so pretty. Packaging is simple and pretty. I am very impressed with how it turned out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free from influenster in exchange for my honest review. I love this polish. Pink is my favorite color too and this looks so good on my nails

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this polish, Essie is an incredible brand and they are my "go to" when looking for a new color. This doesnt have an overly strong scent like some polishes and its definitely worth the price. Applies smoothly and looks beautiful after application.
