The American brand of nail polish Essie blew the world of the nail industry. Every year, the brand expands its product line and color palette.

A bit of history

Essie was founded by Essie Weingarten in the early 80s of the twentieth century. This woman initially acted as a distributor of nail polishes, whose palette by then consisted of 12 shades. Essie sold these products in various beauty salons located in New York. After some time, the whole country already knew about the merits of new nail polish products:

  • very resistant (compared to standard varnishes);
  • variety of shades;
  • attractive names ("Passionate Love", "Body Language", "Vintage Wine" and others).

The tube itself (which Essy developed a few years later) with the same engraving was also original. As soon as varnishes appeared in stores, they began to gain popularity very quickly. By the beginning of the 2000s, these coatings occupied a leading position among similar means.

Essie herself received the prestigious Best of Beauty award from the American magazine Allure.

In the future, the line of products under the brand Essie expanded. There were already not only colorful decorative coatings, but also oil for softening the cuticle, the base, firming agents, top, coating removers, bath salt, and revitalizing masks. All these cosmetic innovations were appreciated by not only ordinary girls who want to look attractive, but also Hollywood stars, as well as representatives of royal blood: Kate Middleton, Olivia Mann, Kim Kardashian, Sirsha Ronan, Rihanna, Beyonce and many others.

The great advantage of Essie lacquers over competitors is the natural composition. They do not contain toxic components, dry quickly and stay on nails for a long time. The time of their wearing on the nails is almost identical to gel polishes.
