All about nail polish Essie

The American brand of nail polish Essie blew the world of the nail industry. Every year, the brand expands its product line and color palette.

Essie was founded by Essie Weingarten in the early 80s of the twentieth century. This woman initially acted as a distributor of nail polishes, whose palette by then consisted of 12 shades. Essie sold these products in various beauty salons located in New York. After some time, the whole country already knew about the merits of new nail polish products:

• attractive names ("Passionate Love", "Body Language", "Vintage Wine" and others).

The tube itself (which Essy developed a few years later) with the same engraving was also original. As soon as varnishes appeared in stores, they began to gain popularity very quickly. By the beginning of the 2000s, these coatings occupied a leading position among similar means.
