Essence Colour and Go Nail Polish colour explosion! the huge colour & go range has the beloved gel-shine finish with a highly intensive shine and an extremely short drying time for perfectly polished nails in a flash! the patented quick & easy brush is particularly flat for an even easier application. the 8ml bottle has a cool essence design – with the usual colour-coded cap in the corresponding nail polish colour.

Not as good as thier other fomulas

I LOVE the Gel amd trend. This dies what it says as in good colour and drys quick, however unlike the gel like one it doesn't last. Chipped within 24 hours. Wish they would put the other formulas in this size bottle as cute a.d perfect size.

Tips: Buy this brand in the gel look ones. Last longer then expensive brands and most go on beautifully. (The mint is the only one I've ever been disappointed with) don't be put off by the low price this brand is fantastic.

Essence Nail Polish

These are fun and come in a range of colours to suit everyone's taste. They apply easily and last fairly well. They come in cute little bottles and are at a great price. I buy these for my daughters and they love it.

Tips: Perfect for stocking stuffers.

colour and go nail polish

This nail polish is such a cheap price point, I thought I would give them a go and I am really pleased with them. They have a wide variety of colours and I have noticed that different ones get added regularly. The nail polish is easy to apply and one coat can be good enough but two coats make it more opaque, it lasts just as long as other nail polishes that cost a lot more.

Very Liquidy Formula

I have discovered this brand recently and have been excited to try their products. I found this particular line of nail polish has a very liquidy consistency which made it a bit difficult to apply. Apart from that product layered up evenly and was super fast drying. End result looked clean and professional. I probably won't be repurchasing though as I like the "I Love Trends" (Same Essence brand) formula better.

Perfect little bargains

It's not often you find something so on point - cheap polishes, that are awesome to work with, wear well and come in a range of colours? Sign me up!

I actually mostly use 'the gel' polishes from Essence now, or the 'i <3 trends' ones - but it all started with 'colour and go'.

These are ridiculously cheap little bottles of awesome. They are only 8 ml, so no dramas with polish drying out before you use it up. The brushes are squat and wide, with a decent handle so that they are not fiddly despite the small size. The formula is on point - one coat is okay, two is perfect, and it's a good thickness and opacity. Dry time is not too long, and ear time is up there with much pricier polishes. The colour range is wide, and on trend - but veers off. I can usually find a polish I like from them.

I haven't actually seen 'colour and go' in a while, so unsure if it's been destocked in favour of 'the gel' but it's definitely worth a look.

The only reason it isn't 5/5 is that I prefer the gel ones ever so slightly (hello, plump shiny finish). I'd merrily use these though!

Tips: They're like $3 each. Just buy and try.

Cheap little gem

On one of my apparently numerous visits to Farmers, I finally took notice of the nail polish section of the Essence stand. Considering I'm so picky about polish colours it seemed none of them would stand out until I saw 'give me nude, baby!'

I took a good look at it and I knew I had to get it. It's a very soft and translucent white with a slight duochrome shimmer. I have a habit of gravitating towards translucent whites and pinks since my skintone is quite an awkward one. This polish did not let me down at all. It didn't make my skintone look strange and looked as natural as nails with whitish polish could get. It's an incredibly easy to wear colour and is on the more low maintenance end. Now, it did chip fairly quickly (after 4-5 days) but all things considered, I'm still quite happy with it.

Despite how much I love the polish, I actually am more impressed with the brush. I've only had a few polishes with a double brush but they were all pricier polishes, not one that cost me, what, $3? It's so easy to apply the polish quickly which is great for lazy souls like me!

Essence Colour & Go - Not Bad for the Price

I bought a bunch of assorted beauty products online and a bright, vivid, dark green. It looked like a cheap polish from the look of the bottle so I didn't have any high expectations. I do like the the brush, it's flat and got a rounded end which makes it easy to paint my nails and cover a good amount of my nail so my paint job is quicker and less streaky. One coat of this polish provided enough opacity and the drying time was average. On day two after my mani, I got the first small chip. On day three more chipping and by day four I needed to remove the polish. Now I've used some cheap polishes which have chipped within on day two but, they cost two to three times as much. So given the cost of the polish and the fact that brush is makes it easy for application, I would have to say this is the best, cheap polish I have come across so far. The cons of this polish are that there isn't a huge color selection readily available and if you prefer 3 or 5 free polishes, I don't think this brand is one of them. I personally prefer to spend a bit more on polish and get something that stays on longer but if you like to repaint your nails regularly or are just itching for a certain color in the range and don't want to shell out for polish this is a good option.

Tips: This is a good cheap polish for those who grow tired of wearing a certain shade on their nails all week. I don't think it's 3 or 5 free though, so if you prefer your polishes a little less toxic this probably isn't the brand for you.

Do You Speak Love and Wonderfuel

When I finally got my hands on Essence, I bought a small haul of stuff! Being a nail polish lover, I got Do You Speak Love (a gorgeous dark red), and Wonderfuel (a 'blurple'). They were about $3.30 each and for the price you really can't complain! Do You Speak Love is better than the similar Revlon shades I have tried, and Wonderfuel is nice too although the shade is just a bit too "2000's teenager" for me, if that makes sense? Like it reminds me of Revlon Streetwear. Not saying that's a bad thing though. There's a great selection of colours, and more coming out all the time. I find nail polish never lasts very long on me, so Essence is as good as any, in that area.

Tips: I bought the Essence nail oil and the polish touch up pen, which also are helpful for doing a nice manicure. Cheap as chips!

Essence Colour and Go Nail Polish

I am obsessed with these polishes. They can be picked up at my local Farmers store and are incredibly affordable. They come in many shades and have a beautiful finish. Although they do chip after 4 days without a top coat but with a top coat it usually lasts for about a week. I have about 6 different shades and I hope to add more to my collection. Personally I love how cute they look so I have mine in a white tray on my bookshelf.

Tips: Using a top coat will help the polish wear longer.

Its okay

Its an okay product, for the price i love the selection and the application. however, it only lasts a day on my finger nails before i notice chipping - it lasts longer when i paint my toes.

Id buy more of this product because it is so affordable, i love the colours and because i apparently love having to re-apply nail polish on my fingers every other day.... this however is probably why i havent really recommended it to friends.
