Essie Description

Explore Essie nail polish in a wide range of colours, from understated neutrals and soft pastels to bright, deep and statement shades. The American nail brand has become closely associated with fashion-led colour, distinctive shade names and salon-inspired manicures that are easy to recreate at home.

Essie was founded in 1981 by Essie Weingarten, initially launching a small collection of nail colours in the United States. The brand grew through professional salons before becoming an internationally recognised name in nail colour, with seasonal collections and an extensive permanent shade range helping to establish its strong connection with fashion and beauty trends.

Colour remains at the centre of the Essie range. Its nail polishes cover sheer pinks, classic reds, soft nudes, cool blues, greens, purples and deeper berry or burgundy tones, alongside limited and seasonal shades. Different collections also explore glossy, gel-inspired and longer-wearing formulas while retaining the clean bottle design and names that have become part of the brand’s identity.

Essie is particularly known for offering subtle variations within familiar colour families, giving shoppers a broad choice between barely-there neutrals, muted everyday tones and more saturated colours. This extensive approach to shade development has helped make the brand a fixture in both professional nail care and at-home manicure collections.
