Essie Disappointment

in June 2012 Weddings
So I was at WalMart looking for a new curling iron (and of course it sucks so I'm gonna return it) and found some Essie nail polish on sale for $3.75. I gave it a try and I'm very disappointed. I feel like it won't dry like it stays damp. And knicks so easily. I'm so disappointed because I love the color I got. Anyone else have this experience? I already had to touch them up

    Maybe that's why it was on sale. I love all of my Essie nail polish and I have at least 10 different colors.

    They had a bunch left I think it was maybe a color discontinued or something. I guess I'll just stick to OPI

    Yeah I've never had a problem with my OPI ones just didn't feel like spending $8 on Essie when I was unsure of quality. Definitely not getting them again

    I wouldn't write them off because of one bottle that was on sale. I used to only wear OPI, but I honestly prefer Essie now. I just feel like the colors/bottle look nicer.

    I like their bottles too that kind of led me to them in the first place but I'm not gonna spend $8 for a product I had bad luck with. I got another bottle on sale too but if neither are good I won't try them again. I'm very big in to brand loyalty. When I find something I like I stick with it. If I have a bad experience with a product I won't try it again

    Lately I've been obsessed with the Sally Hansen nail stickers - they come in tons of fun colors and patterns and they are super easy. There is no drying time at all.

    I wanna try those too! They have so many fun colors! I won't do Sally Hansen nail polish anymore because it'd chip so fast and I love OPI

    Did you get them both at Walmart? They might produce lesser quality product for Walmart to sell at reduced prices.

    Sometimes the light colors or matte colors tend to scratch more easily and take a long time to dry.

    Me either. I'm just really annoyed tonight. First the nail polish then my curling iron I bought does not work at all. Hopefully I can return it tomorrow. I know theyre little things but they're irritating nonetheless

    <div>The stickers last longer than regular nail polish does for me. They last almost 2 weeks. I can go over a week before they start chipping and I work in shipping where regular nail polish I am lucky if I can get through the day without it chipping. </div>

    WalMart demands lower costs on their end and many companies produce cheaper products so they can meet Walmart's demands. Kraft Foods was almost sunk over a Mac and Cheese deal with WalMart. Though the price is the same or around the same, it might be a cheaper product on the inside. They essentially force companies to knock off their own goods. Write to Essie or post on their Facebook page. See if they'll send you a new bottle. :)

    That sucks you don't like it because I love Essie. I've never had that problem before. I still like OPI, but I like Essie better.

    I didn't really like the bottles I bought. They really don't last that long, and chip off. I am a Revlon fan. I wipe my nails down with polish remover to get oils off so it bonds better, and then do two coats and then a clear top coat, works everytime for me!

    Love Shellac! I'll be doing fake nails though for the wedding. There's a nail place near me that I absolutely love and they do something to the fake nails that makes them not yellow and things like that when I tan

    I have quite a few bottles of Essie and I have always loved them. I don't have a problem with them chipping at all.
