These are fast becoming my go-to polishes. There are a good range of colours, the quality is pretty good, and they are *dirt* cheap.
I currently have two of these polishes, but bought my bestie a few as well and have been through a couple of bottles already. The current shades in my collection are 01 true love - a gorgeous berry red, and 55 be awesome tonight, a bright pastel pink.
essence the gel polishes come in short, squat, rounded bottles, which are clear with the polish colour on the lid. The lids are the exact polish shade, which is great because you know what they'll look like on. The opacity is brilliant, and two coats tends to be perfect. The brushes are some of the best out - short, wide and easy to use. I get very little mess with these. The 8 ml bottle size is more than adequate, especially given the tiny price.
I find these wear well, but obviously a good base/top coat helps. I don't rate the essence clear top coat from the gel range, unfortunately. I'm currently using Nicole for OPI as a base and Maybelline All in one on top of the pink essence polish, and am on day 4 with one tiny chip even though i spent half of Saturday toddler-wrangling. Amazing!
These are going to feature heavily in my xmas gifts, i think!
I like these nail polishes because I don't like to invest a lot of money in my nails but I still like them to look put together. These polishes tend to last a few days on me before they start to chip which I like. The brush is my favourite part of it because it's so thick and can cover a large area of my nail so I feel like I get an even coverage in a short amount of time. They're super affordable and available at my local Farmers store which I appreciate.
