Essie Nail Polish



I am a long time fan of Essie nail polish. The top polish in this photo is called Ballet Slipper and for years, YEARS, it was my go to shade. Those were the years when I was young, single and childless. Having my nails done weekly was not a treat but mandatory. Oh, those were the days! Not that I don't appreciate being a parent,  however the days of having my nails professionally done are few and far between. That is why I am so happy that Essie products are now being carried in Walmart. Walmart! 


I have access to my old fav, Ballet Slipper and some new favs too, I like Wicked for the winter months and am currently wearing it on my toes. 


 I know I don't have the prettiest feet in the world but you must admit Wicked makes them look better! LOL When I was on the Disney Dream Cruise I treated myself to a spa pedicure and brought along my Essie nailpolish. We all deserve a little pampering! My nail technician immediately recognized the color as Wicked! When I let her know that it is now available at Walmart she was ecstatic because the spa doesn't carry it anymore.  


Another thing that endears me to Essie is the fact that  essie nail polish is 3-free; contains no formaldehyde, DBP or toluene. And, essie is not tested on animals! 


I think the best way to see the colors is in video, so check out this video I made featuring Essie products!



Disclosure: I am a Walmart Mom and received the Essie products, I've been compensated for my time to write this blog post and make the video. But as usual, all of my opinions are my own!
