Q: Why are the pictures not matching up with the essie nail colors? For example, "Clothing Optional" is supposed to be a rosey color but it shows up as gray. Want to make sure I'm ordering what I need.

submitted by kfern - 6 years ago
  • A: yes i ordered the purple and mine was dark dark purple

    submitted bygiginails - 4 years ago
  • A: I ordered Go Ginza-a nice light purple, I got Go Ginza a super pale lilac-almost white!!! so sad. I'm returning for the Play date-which looks a bit dark, but it should be perfect cuz they seem much lighter in person.

    Essie nailpoiish is a little on the expensive side but in the long run is worth it. I feel that it doesn't wear off as fast as the cheaper polishes. I love the darker colors for the winter.

    I love the new color. I have very pale, cool toned skin and it’s perfect. The other nudes are either too white/tan or too sheer or not sheer enough, and this is the only one that makes my nails look “naked, but better.”

    Like the color. Just arrived today. I did think it would be a bit more pink though. However, totally clumpy and went on terrible and streaky. I took it all off and put on my other new bottle - spring fling which was perfect and a completely different texture. Went on beautifully. Did I get bad product or is it this color that is a problem?

    i have a collection of essie polishes but birthday girl is easily my favourite. looks like a shimmery pink in the bottle, but comes up more champagne gold on the nails/in certain light (perhaps because i’ve had my bottle a while now?) but i love the shade. per the name, i always end up with this shade on my fingers or toes on my birthday - and for the rest of the year, it’s a shade that makes me feel super cute and feminine! i like the sheer look with two coats, and like to add a third if i want a more solid look. i’ve always worn it alone but i imagine it’d also make an amazing topper with other shades!

    Generally love this brand and have good success with the product quality and wearability. Specifically for the Birthday Girl pink I wanted a muted pink with some translucency. The product picture looks like this. What I got was basically a sparkly clear coat. Minimal pink tint, and sparkles which is not what I wanted for this particular color. Product photo is inaccurate.

    Hi there! Thank you for your feedback on the Nail Polish in the Birthday Girl shade. We are sad to hear that you did not see the color results you expected with this Nail Polish.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried a red Essie nail polish recently, and I’m OBSESSED! The color is sooo rich and vibrant, it’s literally perfect for everything—from a casual day out to a fancy dinner. The brush is amazing—flat and wide enough to make the application super easy and smooth. The formula? Perfection. It goes on evenly, no streaks, and gives full coverage in just one coat (though I always do two for that extra pop).
