Essie

Essie Weingarten, President and founder of Essie Cosmetics, is not only a savvy businesswoman with a keen eye for colour and a flair for names, but also a beauty industry icon. Driven by her passion for the perfect manicure, Essie started her own range of nail and skin care products 25 years ago. Today, it has become the brand of choice in fine beauty salons worldwide and is considered by many to be the leading colour range in the US with an estimated empire worth over $US150 million!

Essie has always known the importance of well groomed hands: “As long as your nails are beautifully manicured, you are in fashion,” she proclaims. “Your hands are the most expressive part of your body - they do the talking for you!” With approximately 250 shades and growing, Essie is sure to have a colour to suit any occasion. Essie nail colours have been designed with a chip-resistant formula that ensures outstanding durability and long-lasting colour. Each season Essie releases six new colours... a collection to suit the fashion trends of the season.
