nail polish for best essie colors article

For as long as I can remember, nail polish has been one of my go-to ways to express myself. I used to do my nails so often (I’m talking every other day) because I loved changing them based on my mood. I don’t do them as often anymore but I still find joy in sitting down and doing my nails.

I’ve tested a bunch of different nail polish brands and always found Essie to be one of the most tried and true brands. They have some of the most iconic colors and their entire collection, in general, is one of the best lines out there.

I decided to put together this list of the best Essie colors for those who want to upgrade their nail polish game. I’ve created various categories below so you can find click on exactly what you’re looking for. Keep reading for more.

What Is The Most Popular Essie Nail Polish Color?

The most popular Essie Nail Polish Colors is a toss-up between Bikini So Teeny and Ballet Slippers. These two are such iconic shades, one perfect for a cute summer vibe and the other perfect for a pretty neutral look.

Which Essie Top Coat Is The Best?

No matter what nail polish you’re using, you should always use a top coat to secure your polish. There are definitely some great and not-so-good top coats but Essie has some awesome options.

Essie’s best top coat polish is by far their Gel Couture Top Coat. It dries quickly and gives a gorgeous gel shine to your nails. It makes your nails look like they were professionally done. Can’t ask for anything better than that!

But if you’re not into this for whatever reason, I highly recommend you check out the Seche Vite topcoat. It smells horrible but is the best top coat I’ve used next to the Essie one.
