Before anyone makes the point that no one needs this many nail polishes, I am well aware. I am even aware of the fact that there are many of these I don't really wear. For that reason I have marked my absolute favourites that I have reached for over and over again and I would readily repurchase with an asterisk (*).

If I had to pick 5 favourites from my whole collection they would probably be Chinchilly (hands down fav!), Splash of Grenadine, Sole Mate, Lady Like and Fiji. It is so hard to choose just five though so make sure you check out all my favourites that I have marked with an asterisk.
To finish off, here are some nail swatches and manis I have created my Essie collection. Which is your favourite?
I would to love to know what your favourite Essie shades and if there are any missing from my collection that I simply have to get my hands on.
Sooooo much effort into this post, amazing! Thanks for this :)! It's bookmarked for future nail inspo haha x

Aw thanks so much! It did take an insanely long time to paint all those plastic swatch nails. I'm glad it gave you some mani inspo :)

Essie hs some of the best nail polishes ever. Nothing beats their color range.

Agreed. Sometimes they still chip quickly but I adore the shades. Thanks for stopping by :)

I'm getting a little Essie collection as well! I tend to only buy a few when it's 40% off Makeup though. Love the thoroughness of this post.

I LOVE your essie collection!! I don't have any cream polishes at all from Essie which is surprising, Sugar Daddy is so nice!

Aw thanks so much, Kathy! I do find some of the lighter ones tricky because you need so many coats but they are stunning if you put the effort in.
