Essie Nail Colour 13.5ml - 821 Madison Ave-Hue

My best advice for this or really any color product you have not bought before is do not rely on online swatches only if at all possible. I did some window shopping online looking for a new spring shade. Online it looked very muted and light, similar to some shades I already have. I had decided on a different shade based on online swatches, but selected this one when I got to the store. It's a nice shade, not to bright, and not too muted, I would say it's more of a salmon or light coral than peach. It's a good shade for spring and summer. It applies evenly and does not streak, weak time is average A lovely Spring/Summer shade, but I'd wear it year-round. I hope Essie keeps making this one. It's a keeper

Essie Peach Side Babe is my new go-to nail polish! The color is absolutely stunning – a perfect peachy hue that's vibrant yet elegant. It applies smoothly and evenly, and with just two coats, I get a flawless, salon-quality finish. The polish is long-lasting and chip-resistant, keeping my nails looking fresh for days. I also love how quickly it dries, making it super convenient for a quick manicure. Highly recommend this shade for anyone looking to add a pop of color to their nail collection!

Essie Bahama Mama is a shade that I really love and have loved for many years. It is an aubergine, maroon shade but the undertone is warm and classic. It can go with any look! It is classic enough for day time or work, but can easily take you into the evening. The brush is thin enough for controlled application and the colour is never runny. Paired with a good top coat, the colour can last really well with minimal chips. I have purchased this shade many times and I do truly love it!

Amazing sheer nude hue perfect for any occasion

Having been a culprit of the in salon Shellac nails trend at the nail salon for years, my nails needed desperate TLC to heal and repair naturally. I used a regular nail strengthener and applied almond oil as a treatment every night for a few months to get my nails back to tip top health. Having mainly used OPI as my holy grail at home nail routine, I heard Essie is better quality, at a better price point so I tried Essie Ballet Slippers after reading reviews plus hearing it was the Queens holy grail fave shade. Sheets Perfection I have found my new hero nail polish - from the cute bottle, the quality of the polish, drying time & the application with the perfectly formulated brush was just smooth & simple. No base coat needed, though I required 3 coats & a great tip ... MoreHaving been a culprit of the in salon Shellac nails trend at the nail salon for years, my nails needed desperate TLC to heal and repair naturally.

No base coat needed, though I required 3 coats & a great tip is to prepare the nail bed by filing and buffing nails, trimming the cuticles and apply 2 thin coats and float the final coat to ensure no streaks, then seal with Essie Gel Couture top coat. Flawless finish and lasts a good 7 - 8 days with no chips!

Avo Green

This is pretty decent for covering redness. I'd say it gives a mid coverage, but it then forms a good base for concealer/foundation. Little to no redness is visible after applying this and then foundation and powder afterwards. No smell to the product. It has quite a smooth, thin consistency so a little bit goes a long way - use less than you think to start with. I didn't find it chalky at all. Pretty decent product for the price.

Colour Corrector

I have tried this product by using both options- my day to day makeup which is just spf+ pressed powder and full makeup.Using it by itself will reduce redness but this product is pigmented well so your skin will stay green after and if you want to get rid of it the only option will be covering it with a foundation. In my case it did the promised job so I'm happy with this concelancer. I've taken one star off because I had to use quite a lot of product to reduce my area around nose and also product rolled a bit while blending it. Overall for this price, which I'd say is affordable it's a good choice.

Reduced redness and dark circles

I was excited to receive this Studio London colour corrector as I've been struggling with rosecea on my cheeks. The green colour was darker than other colour correctors that I've previously tried. It's easy to apply with the applicator and easy to blend. My foundation sat well on top of it, it didn't drag the green corrector out of place, although I did find it quite hard to cover with foundation. I used a lot more foundation than I normally would and in some areas I could still see a hint of green coming through. My rosecea did look less visible, which was the main thing I wanted to cover, my blemishes were still quite visible. It worked really well on my dark circles underneath my eyes. I think for the price, this is a great option for those with redness or dark ... MoreI was excited to receive this Studio London colour corrector as I've been struggling with rosecea on my cheeks.

TOO EXPENSIVE

Boatloads of love is a beautiful muted, creamy white. It’s not pink, not even slightly - more of a grayish undertone. It’s not iridescent - not at all even though the bottle looks like it. It’s very streaky - 3 coats for decent coverage. And it dries weird, almost like it’s old polish which sucks because I literally just bought this. Idk how well it wears but judging by the tiny bubbles forming and how long it’s taking to fully dry, I’m not hopeful. Super disappointing considering the price!

color was off

I like this brand a lot. I usually have great success in selecting flattering colors for myself. This time was a mistake for me.I bought the color "throw in the towel". It's supposed to be a moderately vibrant, rosy pink. Unfortunately, it's not pink at all. It's a bright (almost neon) coral orange. It's a pinkish, bright pumpkin shade. It has a retro peaches and cream vibe. It's certainly attractive, but it's not what I was looking for.They seriously need to adjust their cameras. I'm hesitant to select another shade online.

lovely product, easy application and does the job!

On first apply I really like this product, I typically find that colour correctors can cling to dry patches so it's hard to blend and foundation sits on top bad however this concealer blended so seamlessly and wasn't able to disrupt my foundation I loved it. 💚-Throughout the week I applied it and found it was easy to add as a staple in my makeup routine, I'm quite pale so spots flare up quite red, I also get redness on my cheeks and found it was so easy to neutralise and wasn't too dark for my skin. 💚-The packaging is really sleek and lovely so it's easy to take on the go, I found the product itself didn't smell of anything either so I didn't mind that, the added skincare benefits are really nice and I found the applicator was lovely too as I could get an even ... MoreOn first apply I really like this product, I typically find that colour correctors can cling to dry patches so it's hard to blend and foundation sits on top bad however this concealer blended so seamlessly and wasn't able to disrupt my foundation I loved it. 💚-Throughout the week I applied it and found it was easy to add as a staple in my makeup routine, I'm quite pale so spots flare up quite red, I also get redness on my cheeks and found it was so easy to neutralise and wasn't too dark for my skin. 💚-The packaging is really sleek and lovely so it's easy to take on the go, I found the product itself didn't smell of anything either so I didn't mind that, the added skincare benefits are really nice and I found the applicator was lovely too as I could get an even amount of coverage and reach every nook and cranny. 💚-Overall, I do like this product and will be adding it to my everyday makeup bag! 🥑
