Essence is such an amazing brand for how little it costs, and the I Love Trends Nail Polish range is no exception.
I have shade 44: rebel at heart, which is a metallic multi-toned shimmer polish that tracks through from silver to charcoal grey, and finishes in a very similar way to OPI Liquid sand, albeit less matte, and not quite so sandpapery in feel. It's *gorgeous*
The bottle is a simple one, round, with a flat top and bottom. The base is clear, the cap black, and the brush is a good width. Speaking of the brush, it's very easy to use; application is simple to perfect with this.
It lasts well, especially with base and top coat, and looks really fabulous - noone would ever guess this is less than $4 nail polish!
I love Essence, everything Essence. Cheap but definately not nasty. I own a few products and I am more than happy with them, this nail polish is no exception.
I actually managed to buy this while on holiday on the Gold Coast. There was a big stand with many products on it.
The range of colours is really great with everything from subtle nudes to nice brights.
The bottle is a typical round glass bottle with a palstic lid.
The brush has a generous amount of bristles and holds a good amount of polish to enable you to give your nail a great coverage without double dipping.
The coverage is good with a second coat [which is typical] and with a clear top coat will last a good few days, depending on what your day entails.
When it comes time to remove, I use any type of nail polish remover and it does a great job.
I will continue to use this nail polish and when I see it instore I will repuechase it in other colours.
