Didn’t work for me.

a year ago
Started with all-in-one base coat before applying Stay Fluid. The polish seemed thick on the brush and uneven on the nail. It still looked streaky after two coats and too heavy with a third. I gave it two different attempts but gave up on this color. Essie is my favorite but I threw this one away.

Can’t go wrong with white!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love essie nail polishes; they go on smooth and dry quickly. My nails will stay flawless for up to a week with no chips or breaks. This shade was the perfect white for the holiday season.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried Essie stay fluid Nail Polish, and I love it! The color changes depending on the light, apply over another color and its gorgeous. It applies smoothly and lasts a good amount of time without chipping. It’s a unique and playful twist on traditional nail polish, and I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to try something different.

Everything you’ve been looking for

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to apply and dries quickly which is very nice! Not a strong scent like other polishes. The bottle is easy to open since it’s textured so 10/10. Also easy to remove.

Beautiful polish

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this nail polish ! It is super beautiful and has a metallic finish to it ! I am obsessed with the color . This formula applies so nicely and I love how the applicator just glides over my nail beds with ease . It doesn’t take long for each coat to dry and the scent isn’t strong in my opinion at all . I really love the sleek ,chic packaging these come in and definitely recommend. I also love how long this formula lasts ! It’s lasted me at least two weeks.

White Pearl Glaze

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Stay Fluid shade is a beautiful white pearl glaze with slight purple tones. The polish applies smoothly and evenly. With just two coats, I achieve full coverage and glossy finish. It is quite durable. It lasted about a week without chipping.

I love this shade

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shade of nail polish is so pretty! White with a silver-ish sheen on it. I love it! Application is always super easy with Essie’s formula because it’s not too thick. Removal process was easy too, regular polish remover does the trick.

Love this nail polish color

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pearlish color of this nail polish is beautiful and elegant. I feel like this is a color that you can wear in any occasion and goes perfect with all outfits. The application technique and drying time are really good. It has a not strong scent which I really appreciate. The packaging is cute and convenient because you get to see the color and the shimmers from the outside packaging. This nail polish last a good amount of time and it is easy to remove. I do recommend it. It is beautiful.

New fave

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new favorite polish for my toes! This white polish glides on smoothly and it’s a refreshing pop of color. It has a pearliness to the color so it isn’t a true white but still nice nonetheless.

Dried soo fast!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this item for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. The nail polish is shiny and super fast drying! Smells like normal nail polish, but not overpowering. Intense white color. SUPER SHINY! My 10 year old was excited to do her own nails. Drying time in no time!

Great color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is slightly lighter than on this photo! Great for summer or just in general if you want nice looking toes! Looks good with gold jewelry and tanned skin! Easy to apply and doesn’t drip!

Very pretty

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the color! I only did one coat and it was really vibrant and filled in already. I love that the white color is opaque but not like a stark white. It’s giving very bride/wedding feels. It has a chrome kind of finish but very subtle. It dried super fast. I love Essie nail polish.

Good white for French tip!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the Essie brand but not really a fan of white. This’ll be good for French tip! It dries pretty fast which is great. The bottle is cute and the brush makes it easy to apply.. also removes easily with acetone :)

Watery polish

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] White nail polish can be hard to find. So this was fine not the best because it's watery. The white is too see through and the polish is messier than usual. You have to do several coats unless you pack it on the first time but that makes it harder to dry. It's harder to remove than the other colors . It's kinda chalk like, it's not the best.

I love purple under tone.

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to apply without messiness and it not take long to dry to apply a second layer. The scent is pretty mild and never give me any headache like some out there. To remove it also super easy too. I love it white with purple under tone. So pretty.

Perfect

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This neutral nail polish is the perfect addition to my collection. The soft, creamy color is incredibly flattering and the formula is smooth and opaque. It's like giving my nails a gentle hug of color. I'm so impressed with the durability and ease of application.

love this pearl glaze

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The white pearl glaze with subtle purple undertones adds a soft, sophisticated glow to any nail look. Perfect for creating unique designs or wearing alone for a chic, understated vibe, it’s part of the Be Them All collection, which celebrates bold self-expression.

Works great

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you influenster for letting me review this Essie nail polish. I love this white color. I do need two to three coats to make it perfectly opaque but once it is on it is long lasting. The color is called “stay fluid”

Apply a couple coats for vibrate color

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish is easy to apply, it doesn't have a strong smell and it dries average. You will need two, possibly three coats to really get a good application. One coat is just streaky, but that is expected with white nail polish.

White polish

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is white with pink glimmer. It has a polished, shinny finish already that I dont event think a top coat is needed. However, the shine is not too much as chrome. The smell is like other nail polish, chemical but not too bad as gel polish. It dries fast too. 20 secs and I can already start the next layer on top. Can be completely removed with acetone

Pretty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very pretty colors and have a nice normal finish for regular nail polish. I like the slight subtle shimmer of it but it still appears like a cream finish.

Good as a polish topper

Not good

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To apply nail polish it’s pretty straight forward. Doesn’t take long to dry. No scent. The time it takes to remove nail polish is too long and hard to come off. The color is not the greatest. Received free to try through Influenster.

Hi jblb521_2775. Thanks so much for sharing your results with the Stay Fluid '. We wish you were seeing the color pay off you were hoping for. This is not the classic nail color from years gone by ! The jelly glosses are a sheer, yet buildable jelly gloss finish designed for layers of unique looks. Sheer enough for a juicy glaze, or layer for richer color... swipe on 1, 2. 3 or even 4 coats to get the look you crave. Or layer over your favorite essie nail enamel for an extra pop of color !

Great shade of white

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice shade of white. It’s not Matt has a perlized finish. I apply it just as I would any polish, but the brush in this essie brand makes easy to apply and get to the edge. The product is easy to remove and dries faster with the help of a fan

Needs three coats.

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received to try a nail polish from Essie and Influenster, the shade Vernis. This is a white color nail polish with pretty shiny ingredients. It looks great from the distance, but I applied two coats and I still could see the nail through it. The thickness needs some improvement.

My new everyday color!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brand. The color is so beautiful under the flashlight and is a really nice white color the regular lighting. This brand is the easiest for me to have a perfect application. The drying time is perfect and is really easy to get the hang of. I haven't removed it yet, but I can say that it hasn't chipped yet and I am hoping to be able to wear it for a while. The smell isn't too strong and is comparable to any other regular nail polish. I would strongly recommend this white nail polish it is definitely my new favorite.

Beautiful Color & Application!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Recently Acquired These Lovely Essie Nail Polish Bundle In The Colors "Be Them All" & Stay Fluid And They Are stunning! While I May Not Be The Most Skilled At Nail Painting, I Found These Polishes To Be Very Easy To Apply, And They Dried Quite Quickly. I Decided To Use Them On A Set Of Clear Press-On Nails I Had, And I Am Thrilled With The Results. The Pigmentation Of These Polishes Is Excellent, And The Colors Are Absolutely Beautiful, Especially When Paired Together! I Truly Appreciate The Consistency Of These Nail Polishes And How Effortlessly They Glide On The Nails. I'm Really Looking Forward To Wearing These Lovely Colors This Summer!
