When you think of a nail polish bottle, the first image that probably comes to mind is Essie. The brand is one of the most recognized and iconic nail brands. Why? Over 40 years since its debut, Essie’s formulas—lacquers, gels and more— are stronger and its nail colors have even wittier names.
We haven’t even addressed Essie’s expansive color range. With hundreds of shades across every spectrum, in creams, metallics, jellies and more, Essie is always at the top of a nail painter’s favorite polishes. While Essie may be at the forefront of new nail hues, many shades are discontinued (justice for Clambake and Allure!). With so many color choices and regular swapped-out collections, it’s difficult to keep up with the best of the best. So, I did some research. Keep scrolling to see which of Essie’s nail colors are best-sellers, fan favorites AND still available to buy today.
