TOP FIVE FAVOURITE ESSIE NAIL POLISHES

Hello Everyone! So last month i did a post sharing with you all five of my favourite nail polishes by Barry M, i also asked if there was any other brand of polishes you wanted to see a top five favourites of and the winner was Essie. Essie is definitely a top brand for me when it comes to the little more pricey nail polishes along side OPI, so this was slightly difficult to choose just five as i literally love every single shade of them i own...


So just like the Barry M post here we have my top five favourite polishes by Essie. All five are just the normal formula, not glitters/top coats or anything, i always get my Essie polishes from Boots and they retail for £7.99 GBP. They are another brand for me that last for longer than a couple of days on my nails, which can be rare to find unless i am using my beloved Sally Hansen top coat.


Nail Lacquer in the shade Spin The Bottle  -
When it comes to nude nail polishes i am very fussy as a lot of them tend to not apply very well, just like a lot of white nail polishes do the same. It was a toss up between choosing this one (Spin The Bottle) and the shade Ballet Slippers which is a slightly more pale/pinky nude, but i decided to go with this one as i do tend to opt for it a lot more than that one. Just a little disclaimer if you like it super opaque like i do then you will need to apply three coats.


Nail Lacquer in the shade Cascade Cool -
This shade is definitely at the top of my list of all the pink nail polishes i own, not just specifically Essie. It is the most beautiful creamy pale pink with a slight blue undertone to it. A down side i don't think this shade is available at Boots anymore, at least i can't find it but it is still available on the Essie website itself. This is quite an opaque shade, so you only need the two coats and it also seems to last for a while longer than any of the others.


Nail Lacquer in the shade Play Date -
This nail polish is probably one of the most unique shades of purple i have ever come across, it is literally so unique. Probably the only way to describe this nail polish is to say it is a bright purple creme colour, it is also super opaque with only two coats which is what we like and it applies like a dream with no complications. 


Nail Lacquer in the shade Sunset Sneaks -
This particular shade is from the summer collection last year so i'm not 100% sure if it is still available or not, i couldn't find it on the Boots website but they might have it in stores still. This shade is a bright coral creme shade and perfect for summer, which is probably why they put it in their summer collection. As well as looking stunning on your nails, it also looks amazing as a pedicure as well and i wore it constantly last summer.


Nail Lacquer in the shade Mint Candy Apple -
Last of all we couldn't not mention one of the most talked about green/blue nail polishes of a few years back on youtube/fellow bloggers. It has also definitely earned that talked about status, as it is the most beautiful pastel/mint shade. It is a super opaque polish which only needs two coats and to say it is a pastel colour, it actually applies effortlessly.
