Quick – make a run for Walmart!

Essie, the long-praised and loved-by-every-celebrity-on-the-planet polish has released a second line in addition to it’s salon line, and that is a retail line being sold at Walmart. Oh yeah, Walmart.

I’m a long time Essie fan, and I’m certainly a beauty product FAN-atic, so having access to to my favorite line right here in my neighborhood Walmart is a home run.

Thank goodness for my new Essie polishes, by the way, because I had stashed “Fishnet Stockings” in my bag on my flight out to California for New Years and polished my nails on the plane (oh yeah, people LOVED me for that one). I even took this really cool pic and posted it to Instagram:

Turns out that it’s a lucky thing that I gave myself that plane-promptu manicure, because the next day I had even more of a reason to show off my hands! ;)

So clearly, Fishnet Stockings will always hold a very special place in my heart! :) Which brings me to the polish itself! Though it’s less expensive than the salon line, I don’t find any change in the quality of the product. It’s the same great color and brand that my fellow Essie lovers have grown to know and love. You can find your favorite shade at Walmart.com or in a local Walmart store for under $8 a pop – which is pretty phenomenal in my book!

The color stays on for about 4 or 5 days before I find that it begins to chip, though applying a fresh coat of clear top coat every other day seems to extend the life of the polish by a few more days. All of the colors came off pretty easily with nail polish remover, with the exception of my new favorite, the red you see above. However, this is very typical of almost ANY red polish, so I wasn’t surprised to have red cuticles for a few days after removing it – as a matter of fact I pretty much expected it.

Check out my video review below where I confess to you my addiction to nail polish! What are your thoughts on this new line? Do you have a favorite shade? Leave me your thoughts in the comments!
