Our verdict

A glossy cream polish with an easy brush for a clean manicure at home. The shade name and the color description in the listing do not quite match, so check a swatch before ordering.

Overview

Home manicurists get a salon-style lacquer from essie in a cream finish with a glossy shine. A wide easy glide brush spreads color evenly across each nail, and the routine calls for base coat, two color coats, then top coat.

An even, glossy cream finish from a brush that suits every nail size is why people reach for essie. The listing describes the color as terracotta orange while the name suggests a rose tone, so the exact shade is uncertain.

Who it's for

Regular at-home manicures and people who like a classic cream lacquer are the audience. Those who want a gel-like finish without a top coat, or a confirmed shade, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Easy glide brush reduces streaks
  • Glossy cream finish
  • Vegan, no animal derived ingredients
  • Not tested on animals
Cons
  • Shade description conflicts with the name
  • Needs base and top coat for full routine
  • Bottle size not listed

Performance notes

Coverage depends on thin, even coats, and the wide brush lays down a stripe that covers each nail in a few strokes. Two coats build the full color, while base and top coats affect how long it lasts. Dry time between coats decides smoothness.
