Every year, we see Essie launch a limited edition collection for Valentine’s Day, and the Essie Valentine’s Day 2023 Nail Polish Collection has officially launched.
It’s always a six-shade collection, and Essie tends to give the polishes within the collection a special edition wrap on the lids, and this year’s collection is no different. Keep on reading to see which shades are included within this year’s collection…

Essie Valentine’s Day 2023 Nail Polish Collection
“inspired by the best breakup you’ve ever had, the limited edition essie valentine’s day 2023 collection is all about an empowering self-romance. with each shade, experience a radical self-love rush that will empower you to flirt with freedom.“
The Essie Valentine’s Day 2023 Nail Polish Collection features six shades of the original Essie Nail Lacquer formula. The white lids on the bottles, all feature a silver foil flame and heart design on them.
Which ties into the ‘break-up’ theme for this collection. It’s nice to see a brand do something a little different for a Valentine’s collection, which isn’t all sickly and lovey dovey, like most Valentine’s collections within the beauty world.
Let’s take a look at the six shades within the Essie Valentine’s Day 2023 Nail Polish Collection...
Essie License To Thrill Nail Polish
The first shade in the Essie Valentine’s Day 2023 Nail Polish Collection, is License To Thrill, which is a deep cobalt blue vegan nail polish with red undertones and a cream finish.
