Over the years, I've amassed quite a lot of time, and spent a fair few pennies, at Essie counters. In my eyes, you can't go wrong with an Essie polish, the formula is always fantastic, they've got every shade you could possibly want, and a reasonable price point. I love the flat wide brushes, the glossy formula, and I'm always falling head over heels for a new shade!
That being said, I'm pretty ruthless, if a shade isn't working for me, it gets the axe. I hate having unused polishes sat around, I really love every single one of these!
Here's a whistlestop tour of my collection!
Good To Go Topcoat - I like this stuff, super glossy and quick drying, which is fab if you're impatient like me.
Grow Stronger Base Coat - I'm nearly out of this, and whilst I'm not sure I've noticed a difference in how strong my nails are, it's a good base coat.
Tuck it In My Tux - Not my favourite shade, a sheer pearly white, but it looks gorgeous layered under glitters!
Blanc - The perfect white polish. I love how this looks, especially with a tan!
Urban Jungle - This shade is definitely within my top five polishes, an off white with a hint of greige, it doesn't look much in the bottle but it's stunning on the nails.
Fiji - A classic milky pink. I go through phases of loving and hating this.
Penny Talk - A shimmery gold with a hint of rose. A beautiful shade, but it doesn't last very long on the nails.
Jazzy Jubilant - A gorgeous glitter polish, with large flecks of blue, green, gold and pale pink sequins. Super pretty.
Stroke of Brilliance - The most beautiful blue sequin polish, I can't get enough of this.
Summit of Style - Possibly the most beautiful glitter polish in the world, a rosy gold sequin polish. You need this for Christmas time!
Bahama Mama - The perfect berry with a hint of red to it. Perfect for autumn, but I'm guilty of wearing this all year around.
Damsel in a Dress - A deeper, moodier version of Bahama Mama. This winter, I wore this polish for six weeks straight. It's bloody beautiful.
Splash of Grenadine - A purple with a hint of fuschia. I love this for summer!
Garden Variety - A current favourite. Teal with hint of green. Different, but pretty.
After School Boy Blazer - Almost black navy. This shade is super sophisticated on the nails.
Tarte Deco - A perfect peach with a kick to it.
Orange, It's Obvious - An out and out orange polish. I never thought I'd sport a shade like this, but I honestly love it, especially with a tan!
Peach Daiquiri - A summery bold pink.
Watermelon - A deep bold pink. I was obsessed with this summer before last, and still pull it out every now and then when I need a little colour.
Too Too Hot - A slightly orangey toned red. My absolute favourite toe colour!
Russian Roulette - My perfect red manicure shade.
Dress To Kilt - A deep burgandy red, perfect for dark and moody days.
First Base Base Coat - A good all rounder base coat.
Jiggle Hi Jiggle Lo - A gold glitter with a silvery sheen. This stuff was practically made for Christmas.
Toggle To The Top - A burgandy glitter polish. I love this all year round, despite it being a really festive shade.
Mademoiselle - An almost white pink. I slightly prefer this shade to Fiji, I think it looks less harsh against my skin tone.
Shearling Darling - A shade I don't reach for often, but love every time I do. It's like a darker version of Dress to Kilt!
Parka Perfect - A rather bizarre shade, kinda a stone blue with a hint of shimmer, but it's really pretty on the nails!
Phew! That's quite disgusting really, isn't it! What can I say, I'm a sucker for a good nail polish!
