Goth Girls Unite

6 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loooove me some goth dark colors, and this color does not disappoint. While the consistency is thicker than I would like, the durability and color make up for it - big time. Also, no crazy scent and it won't break the bank!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this color sooo much! I found that when applying, the formula just glides right on and doesn’t leave any streaks! Also the color lasts a long time and it does not chip!

Moody fall and winter

7 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gifted for my honest review. I love this dark reddish brown nail color from Essie. I think it is a perfect moody color for fall and winter and I have worn it a couple of times since receiving. This brand reliably puts out good nail colors and it lasts at least a week without chipping. Loved to have this added to my collection.

No very lasting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly does not really last, the color is not deep enough. Not my preferred nail polish. Very thin on the nails, it also has a very very strong smell

My new fall and winter go to shade

8 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with this Essie shade. Fringes and Saddle is the perfect rich chocolate brown with just enough depth to make it feel chic and seasonal without being too dark. It is one of those colors that looks good on every nail length and instantly makes your hands look put together. The formula is smooth, easy to apply, and surprisingly long lasting which is a big deal for me because polish usually chips fast on my nails. So far this one has held up really well. I love Essie in general but this color might be one of my new favorites for fall and winter. If you love deep, cozy shades that still look polished, this one is definitely worth grabbing.

Fringes & Saddle

8 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s Fringes & Saddle is such a gorgeous deep fall shade! It’s a rich dark chocolate brown. I love how bold yet wearable it is perfect for the fall and winter seasons. The formula is smooth, the color payoff is strong, and it becomes fully opaque in just one to two coats. If you’re looking for a sophisticated, moody brown polish with a unique undertone, Fringes & Saddles is a beautiful choice.

A rich, glossy brown shade that applies beautifull

8 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s “Fringes & Saddle” is a gorgeous deep, warm-toned brown that feels perfect for fall and winter. The formula is smooth and easy to control, with great pigmentation—you can get full coverage in just one to two coats. It dries evenly without streaks and has a really nice glossy finish. I was surprised by how long it lasted without chipping, especially with a top coat. If you love rich, earthy shades that look classy and bold, this one is a standout.

Only needed two coats!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this polish! It has an amazing, highly concentrated formula. I got beautiful, smooth color payoff after just two coats. If you hate doing three or more layers, this is the one for you!

A perfect shade with a perfect formula

9 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are few regular nail polishes I like, and these from Essie are among my favorites. Not to mention the perfect shade for the fall/winter season—it's a divine chocolate color. The formula is perfect because it dries very quickly, and just two coats are enough for a beautiful, even color. The shine and finish are unmatched; it doesn't even need a top coat. Longevity is another plus because they stay flawless for many days. The applicator is ideal and makes application a breeze. We love Essie nail polishes, and this shade is so gorgeous and perfect for the season.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie's Fringes & Saddle is the perfect vampy deep chocolate brown. It applies beautifully and only needs two coats for rich, opaque coverage. The red undertones keep it from looking flat. A stunning color for fall and winter!

So fall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how dark this color is, its so good for fall without being black, its more of a dark purply brown. I love it! You have to wear a top coat with this polish to avoid smudges.

Pigment That Pops

Perfect for fall

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fall shade. Goes on a bit darker than it looks like in the bottle, but it had great coverage with only two coats. Easy to open bottle, and lasts about 2 weeks after applying a top coat.

perfect dark brown nail polish

9 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie nail polishes and really appreciate how on trend their color launches are. It’s definitely possible to get away with one thicker coat or two thinner coats with this polish. It dries down relatively quickly and lasts a couple days before chipping. It’s really shiny, quick to apply, and the applicator is one of my faves! If you’re looking for dark brown nail polish, this is the one!

Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried Essie’s fringes saddle from the Boho Rodeo collection, and I’m impressed. It’s a gorgeous nude-pink that hits the balance between warm and cool tones, so it complements my skin without looking washed out. The vegan formula applied like a dream with two coats, giving a glossy, salon-finish that feels polished but not over-the-top

Perfect fall color!

9 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, I’m obsessed with this shade! Fringes & Saddle is such a gorgeous deep chocolate brown with just enough red warmth to make it cozy but still super chic. It gives total fall vibes — like a warm latte and leather boots kind of mood. The formula goes on smooth and glossy, and two coats make it look rich and polished. It feels bold but still wearable for everyday. Definitely one of those “cool girl neutral” shades I’ll be reaching for again and again.

I love it this color it is so me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried this Essie nail polish, and I’m really impressed with the color and formula. The shade is a deep, rich brown that almost looks black in certain lighting — perfect for fall and winter. It gives a very elegant and sophisticated look. The formula is creamy and smooth, and it provides full coverage in just two coats. It dries with a nice glossy finish, even without a top coat. The brush makes application easy, though I recommend applying thin layers to avoid streaks. It’s long-lasting too it held up well for several days without chipping. Overall, it’s a gorgeous, bold shade that adds a classy touch to any look. Definitely one of my new favorites from Essie!

Cute color! Definitely a new staple

9 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this! I thought it was going to be a dark brown but was pleasantly surprised to be more of a dark red brown almost black when you put two coats on. It would be a lighter brown with just the one but I think it’s personally a color for two coats. Super cute tho! Perfect for the Halloween spooky season.

Rich Autumn Nail polish

10 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with Essie's 'Fringes and Saddles' nail polish for a sophisticated, cozy look! This shade is a deep, luxurious **chocolate brown** that is anything but boring. It has a beautiful warmth to it that makes it feel earthy and rich, but it still maintains a very creamy, high-gloss finish. It's the perfect polish for the cooler months or whenever I want a manicure that looks instantly chic and expensive. It applies smoothly, usually only needs two coats for a perfectly opaque color, and just feels incredibly rich and autumnal on my nails. It's a statement neutral that always looks polished.

Perfect fall shade

10 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m obsessed with this shade from Essie! It’s a gorgeous reddish brown shade that’s perfect for fall. The Essie nail polish brush has a wide fan style brush that makes painting the nails fast as it covers more surface area. The color payout is phenomenal so I only had to apply two coats. Essie nail polish never disappoints.

A stunning brown shade

10 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this would be a very muddy brown, but it has a slight red undertone, which suited my dark warm skin very well. The brushes I love it helps distribute the product all over my nails my manicure lasts a long time I can mix and match designs with this nail polish. It’s definitely a great addition for my fall nail polish collection.
