The 20 Best-Selling Essie Nail Colors of All Time—That You Can Still Buy

Essie—without a doubt—is one of the most iconic and beloved nail polish brands of all time. As of this year, approximately 818 bottles of the cult-classic shade Ballet Slippers are sold each day in the U.S. alone. (Ahem, that's roughly 24 per hour, folks.) The second and third best-selling shades are Blanc and Mademoiselle, and the ever-so-cheekily named nail polish Bikini So Teeny is the top-selling shade in history. Impressive, no?
