Good coverage, beautiful color, no smell, takes aw
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed was the lack of the noxious scent that nail polish normally has. That’s a huge plus for me. The packaging looks great to me. It shows off the beautiful color well, looks good and the lid fits well in my hand and fingers. I also feel good knowing that the formula is vegan.
I think that the price is reasonable for a good nail polish and it’s such a beautiful color. It covered my nail with one coat. It also went on smooth, like a dream.
My problem is with the dry time. I have gotten too used to fast drying nail polish. I tried waiting for it to dry and then was careful. It stayed sticky, tacky and I ended up messing it up.

Tropical Turquoise
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been searching for a vibrant yet wearable teal for summer, and Essie’s “Riviera Rush” is it! 🍊 It’s a stunning turquoise with just the right amount of brightness — bold enough to pop, but still classy and refined.
The formula is everything I expect from Essie:
✔️ Smooth, even application
✔️ Fully opaque in two coats
✔️ Quick drying with a glossy finish
✔️ Long-wearing — lasted 5 days with minimal chipping
It looks amazing on both fingers and toes, and it really brings out a summer tan. It does chip sooner on fingers than toes. However, I highly recommend if you’re looking to spice up your mani with a touch of tropical glam!

Bold & Beautiful
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s Riviera Rush is an absolutely gorgeous shade that’s made for summer! It’s bold, vibrant, and full of energy—just the kind of color that instantly lifts your mood. The pigmentation is impressive—one coat gives full, rich coverage, but if you’re like me and love that perfect, polished look, two coats with a clear top coat gives a flawless finish. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, which is one of the many reasons I always go back to Essie. Riviera Rush is the kind of shade that stands out without being over the top. It’s fun, flattering, and perfect for everything from beach days to rooftop nights. I absolutely love it!

Streaky
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary in exchange for my honest review. The shade Riviera Rush is a vibrant turquoise, perfect for those who don't mind standing out. This shade applies slightly better and more even than the yellow Limon Cielo from this line, but I believe this formula needs to be improved to prevent streaking. I wore this once with three coats to cover the streaking and the second time with two coats, and this chipped by day two both times, which is disappointing and not what I expect from Essie. I absolutely love this shade, but I prefer Essie's Gel Line and will be sticking with that formula in the future.

Hey jessicas988_7023, thank you for trying out this true turquoise with green undertones…and for sharing your experience with us! Great looking manicure BTW. Like all of our nail enamels, this color should look perfect by the second coat and used with a base coat and top coat, the color should last for well over a week.

Dries flawlessly
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this brand! Essie has amazing color options that I really love and enjoy. I really love this Riviera rush shade. It has a beautiful color that looks perfect for summer. It goes on flawlessly and did not clump or have streaks when it dried. It goes on even and has a bright beautiful finish that I love. I use this brand on a weekly basis from everything from strengthening my 💅, clear coats to beautiful bright colored polishes. ESSIE has shades for any season, holiday or event. These are perfect for use between going to the nail salon or for at home Mani and Pedis.

Dry time is excessive
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a very pretty shade. The first coat dried within 10 minutes but it definitely required a second coat for coverage and I feel like it never dried. I waited 20 minutes and I was still able to put fingerprints in it. I’m not sure if you are expected to use a top coat but I don’t paint my nails often and don’t have anything like that at home. I would not use this again because it was way too much trouble and I don’t have the time to sit around all day waiting for nails to dry and never touching anything.

Pretty color but the application wasn’t so great!
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Color-wise, I love the vibrant turquoise color of this nail polish. It is such a perfect color for spring and summer! It missed the mark on the application, though. It is thick and gloppy. The applicator absorbed too much and it applied like a hot mess. I typically love Essie’s nail polish but I was expecting to give myself an easy and precise manicure, no problem. It just came out too fast and I wasn’t in love with the end results!

Pop of Color
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Riviera Rich is a cute light aqua color that really pops with my caramel skin tone . It's gives my nail a nice manicured look and it actually looks as though I have gel nails. The brush glides effortlessly and no streaks which is a major plus! I love that this color is buildable and you can also layer this polish. You can really achieve a salon-like manicure at home with this polish and it dries fast!

Giving ocean vibes 🌊

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion. This color is going to be the summer star. I just know it. It is a beautiful turquoise that will have people turning heads. I love how you don't have to apply a dozen layers just to see the color. It's a beautiful spin on the color turquoise. Catch me wearing it all summer. It reminds me of a beautiful ocean,blue and beautiful.

Giving Beachy Nail Vibe
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Riviera Rush is a beautiful bluish green that instantly transports you to the Mediterranean coast. It’s fresh, vibrant, and perfect for summer. The formula is rich and applies evenly with great opacity in just two coats. I especially love pairing it with Bikini Snapped on top—it creates a shimmering, ocean-inspired effect that’s just breathtaking. A must-have for beachy nail vibe

Gorgeous color
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Riviera Rush calls itself a true turquoise with green undertones. It gives jewel toned vibes, it is a beautiful & vibrant color. The brush is nice & glides smoothly and does a good job of spreading out the color so it doesn’t glob. It had a light and subtle shimmer/gloss sheen to it, which I prefer in nail polishes. It lasted over a week without chipping so I consider that a win!

The prettiest
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ESSIE has become my new favorite brand for the quality of the brushes and the consistency of the polish. It is not expensive but lasts a very long time. I can get a full week out of the polish without chipping. Love, love, love this color! Goes perfectly with my black dress. The quality of this nail polish is great! That's exactly what I expect from essie nail polish

My new favorite color! A great quality nail polish
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essies Riviera Rush is one of my new favorite colors by the brand! I’m in love with this teal/aquamarine color! I think this color complements my skin tone beautifully, I’ll be using this one frequently whenever I paint my nails. The pigment is good, I could probably get away with one coat of the color but two coats makes it look a lot more fuller/covered.

Summer vibes
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s Riviera Rush is my go-to summer shade! The minty turquoise is fresh, fun, and flatters every skin tone. It applies smoothly, dries quickly, and holds up well without chipping. If you're after a cool, coastal vibe for your nails.
Tried Riviera Rush with Limon Cielo for nail art for the first time, and it’s actually not bad.

Such a pretty green
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pastel green shade. It is the perfect spring color and i can’t get enough. I like it on its own or paired with another Essie shade, Limon Cielo. It last pretty decently, but I will note that you have to let these really dry down so they don’t smudge up on the lines when doing stuff around the house.

Stunning color for the summer
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful color. Nail polish applied smoothly to my nails. The scent isn’t so strong. Like the packaging. Wore this nail polish for over a week. Three finger nails chipped but I think that’s expected after a couple of days wearing it. Definitely see myself wearing this color a lot on my toes.

Summer Essential Color
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Again, Essie delivered on this polish. This is one of my Summer go-to colors - a gorgeous, bright, turquoise.. Plus, it is very easy to apply and lasts like a high-quality nail polish should. I like to add a fun spin every now and then and apply a matte top coat for an even cooler look!

This is my go to summer color for 2025
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a lovely heavy mint color I think one coat is enough for great color payoff. I love the wider brush. It really helps distribute the nail polish well over the nail I trust the essie brand for their use of good ingredients and it’s always great value for money.

So pretty
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new shade Riviera Rush by Essie is a beautiful greenish turquoise. This color is going to look good sitting by the pool. Essie makes great nail polish that applies beautifully with two coats. It last longer than most polishes and I find I don’t have chipping issues.

Cute, bright nail polish!
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cute color! Needed two coats to make sure it wasn’t translucent. Didn’t smell as strong as other nail polishes either! Packaging is nice as always. Polish isn’t as thin as other nail polishes on the market which I personally like. Color is also bright!

Cute color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one is a total showstopper. The color is rich and vibrant, perfect for both toes and fingers. It gave me that effortless, just-left-the-coast vibe. One coat was almost enough, but I did two for that perfect salon finish. It dries fast too!
