Essie Nail Polish, 10 Random, No Repeats

Yes, yes, yes! I have 2 Salon style nail polish racks in my apartment, and I have about 150 Essie nail polishes. I started noticing recently you got even though I have a med selection, some of them are getting old and drying out, and rather than just replacing the same colors, I wanted to also freshen up my collection. But unfortunately, when you go to the store or even when you shop online, it feels like it's the same 40 colors that everybody is selling or talking about. And since my collection is pretty expensive, it felt difficult to find anything I hadn't really seen before. I figured for 30 bucks, even if I got five polishes out of the 10 that I liked, even if duplicates of my current colors, it would be well worth it (since 5 new bottles = $45 before tax).Reading through the reviews, it seemed like people were either thrilled or really disappointed with the colors they received, but I found that even the disappointed reviews had colors that I could deal with, and I liked the idea of the element of surprise, opening a package that I ordered but still not knowing what would be inside.Well, I received my order today, and I'm absolutely impressed. There are only maybe three or four shades that were in my collection, and of the rest, there were five that I had never even heard of before. Just because there are only so many colors in the rainbow, I think Essie probably repurposes colors with different names on them, sort of like Yankee Candle does with naming their scents. (For example, I would have bet anything that "skinny dip" was either sugar daddy or ballet slippers, and "lighten the mood" made me think of "between the seats.)I got a nice variety in my selection, and none of them seemed like fillers. Pics attached. I would definitely buy from this seller again!

I ordered two sets, no repeats amongst all 20. Good colors. None of them were dried out or separated, everything came fast and without problems. The first set I got had 3 ‘special colors’ a pink glitter (a cut above), a silver (jingle bells) and a holo glitter (sequin scene). The second set I ordered was 5 from the 2022 spring collection, and 5 from the 2022 valentines collection with 2 special colors, a antique silver (under locket & key) and a pearly light gray (quill you be mine). Overall happy with this purchase. Received the following colors in each set:Set 1: urban jungle, mint candy apple, grass never greener, swoon in the lagoon, carols and caviar, centerpiece of attention, midnight delight, sequin scene, a cut above, jingle bellsSet 2: lips are sealed, respond with a kiss, love-note worthy, quill you be mine, under locket & key, well nested energy, sing songbird along, keep branching out, spring awakening, flight of fantasy

I bought 2 units, so 20 polishes. Each of the units did not have repeats. Combined though, I ended up with 3 duplicates. Then there are 2 more polishes that are extremely close to the colors of the repeats. If I had known that I would end up with 5/20 polishes that are the same/similar colors, I would not have ordered a 2nd unit. I made my decision based on the reviews stating there would not be duplicates across units.I also regret making the order a little since I hoped to end up with more colors that would match my skin tone, but I knew the colors would be random so that's on me. I can see myself using 8 of the colors and probably mixing some of the others to make custom shades. I love the frosty and cool shades, especially love at frost sight 1655. This order was still cheaper than buying polishes from a retail store.Some of the bottles have nail polish on the handles and are not pristine looking, but all the bottles look full. 1 is unlabeled. The polishes were securely packaged and tightly taped in bubble wrap in groups of 5.Good luck everyone!Update: The one bottle that came without a label on the top was missing the applicator, and the formula is just a combination of nail polishes.

There where some cute colors....but there where some also really not cute colors

Great deal and good assortment of colors to add to my collection that I normally wouldn't chooseI will say the packaging could have been better. All polishes were in this sealed mailer and then inside a box. (Nothing in between polishes to protect them) I could see people ending up with broken polishes, however mine all came un-broken.

I bought a set about a year ago and they were all beautiful colors with no repeats. The most recent set I bought, just a couple of months ago, had dull colors, repeats, and a bottle that had a CVS sticker, so maybe these are stolen goods??

I love this concept. I ended up getting a good mix of colors, all which look great. There was one bottle that looked bruised but it wasn’t cracked or anything. I would purchase this again. Can’t beat the price even if you only get a few colors you like it’s still cheaper than buying individual bottles.

What a fun lil surprise! Nice deal, bottles came wrapped securely & the color shade range I received is pretty good- no repeats! Some colors I won’t be using but I was expecting that, so not mad about it!Love Essie <3
