Question:
Any fans of this brand? Rants or Raves for the quality?
Bought two bottles on ebay,really cheaply about £2.50 each they have to come from America. I usually use OPI and was wondering how Essie compare?

Answer:
Not familiar with the brand, it's not available here.
My fave "cheapie" is Mavala.

Answer:
I love Essie nail polish! OPI is my first preference but there are sometimes colors OPI doesn't carry that I love. Essie is a great lacquer much like OPI.

Answer:
Essie is in ALL nail salons in NYC. Since my friends and I go often and compare colors, brands, etc., we've come to the conclusion that most Essies wear better than most Opis. Essie also has a HUGE range of colors.

Answer:
Really as far as quality goes, Essie and OPI (say it like you are saying the three individual letters, not like the boy on the Andy Griffin show, Opie) are neck and neck. To really help the polish last on natural nails, it's all in the base coat my lovelies.... I recommend either Bonder by Orly or Stickey by Creative. Both of these are especially formulated to help polish last longer on natural, enhancement free nails. And for a wonderful fast drying shiny top coat, go with Poshe. All of these can be found at Sally beauty supply (for us americans) As far as overseas maybe if you google them you can find a local supplier.
