i just ordered my first set from Essie (best dressed i think) using the code they have on their site for 15% off.
Im hoping they are nice ive heard great things, but shipping costs from there site are R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like that essie has a lot of shades free of shimmer/glitter/holographic/metallic stuff. I really enjoy just straight color (cream/jelly I guess) without all the fuss. Luuurve 'bordeaux' because it opened up the gorgeous world of dark, saturated nail color for casper-like-pale-people like myself
What I don't like is that all of my darker essie shades get all thick and gooey about 1/2way through the bottle and I'm really good about closing them tightly, etc.
doesn't happen with any of my OPI.

I'm scared to try out Essie. It's just as high as OPI and OPI sucks for me.

I agree as well.
I like Essie for the pinks and OPI for the colors especially the dark colors.

I know techs who will freak out if a client wants Ballet Slippers. It is a very "temperamental" formula. I find the best thing to do is use your regular base (if you choose) then use a ridge filler, 2 thin coats of Ballet Slipper and a top coat.

I'm a newbie when it comes to OPI, Essie and the likes. I used to just buy a ton of drug store n/p.
Recently I picked up 6 bottles of OPI (all gifts for my aunt) and I got Midnight Moscow for myself. I had to exchange two of the bottles for the defective brush.
Also I picked up three China Glaze polishes (Ruby Pumps, and two neons). CG is fun but the consistency so far is a bit thinner than OPI. Sorry for getting OT....
Essie is next on my list. I'm digging all the suggestions because I don't know where to start. Keep them coming guys!! TIA

essie has great milky light colors but their darks are good. they are often over-looked because i guess they don't stand out like opi but i really, really like them. my current faves are nude beach, sugar daddy, wicked, lady godiva and cocktail party.

YES! I absolutely love Essie. I never have issues with chipping. OPI is ok - I like all the colors but I hate the wide brushes. Essie is perfect in every way for me. I know a lot of ppl rave about China Glaze but it always chips on me (even on my toes) for some reason; and I use great base and top coats.
Nothing will come between me and my Essie!
