I'm not one to have artificial nails as it damages my nails so I love to grow my own nails and change my nail colour weekly. Most of the time you have to pay quite a lot for a good quality nail polish that's long lasting but I find Essence to be very affordable and long lasting. Essence colour and go just does it for because im able to buy a variety of colours that I'm able to switch up frequently. With Essence pliable paint brush you end up with a smooth finish which dries pretty fast. I apply two coats for a solid and professional look.

Colour Me Bright
I am really attracted by the colours - they are very bright and full of life!
They are match every bright shoe I own and ever dream of finding.....
The bottles are portable and they handle well.
I just not much in like when it comes to how thick the brush is - it makes the application is trying process....thus smudging is almost possible with every turn on those with tiny nails. Yet again it is a bonus as it applies quicker and more effectively.
The downside is that is easily chips - one moment its there and beautiful....you turn and your nails are almost naked.
If its not an issue and there is so much time to re-apply throughout the day, then surely this bottle will work out.

A must Have Beauty Bargain
Essence Nail polish has got to be my fav beauty bargain must have...not only is it affordable but it comes in a variety of awesome colours which works on different skin tones.
I love the thick brush applicator and a bonus, it dries in a matter of seconds making it convenient for those spontaneous nights out when you in a hurry and need a dab of colour on your nails. The only down side to this product is it chips easily especially if you work with water a lot...but i'll share my nail polish secret to stop cheap nail polish from chipping with you BB friends :) ( simply buy expensive clear nail polish and add it as a third coat) This will definitely beat your nail polish chipping blues. Thank me Later :)

Gotta Love It!
Honestly, who doesn't like funky, bright and fun colours on their nails every once in a while? Essence nail polishes are absolutely fantastic and so affordable, no one has an excuse not to have pretty nails.
They bring out a fun side in everyone and show a little pizazz!
The are not extremely durable like if you work with your hands a lot and do a lot of water work, but for the price you're paying you easily just reapply. Definitely a must buy!

Adore Essence
Essence nail polishes are amazing, and SOOOO cheap! They have a really wide colour range and the quick dry formula is amazing. I have at least 12 of these polishes and love them. They're also really good at keeping up with the latest trends in colour, texture and nail art.

Essence Colour & Go Nail Polish
I love the fact that the Essence Colour & Go nail polish dries so quickly. I can’t always wait for my nails to dry so the fact that this polish dries fast is a big plus. The Colour and Go nail polish also come in a wide range, so most colours that you might want is available.

At less than R 25 a bottle the essence Colour & Go range is good value for money.
You like to change your nail polish as often as your outfit or you want a specific colour for a particular occasion but may not use it too often after then this is the product for you. With a myriad of colours to choose from this is also a good starting point for someone wanting to build a colourful nail polish collection on a budget. Just don’t expect it to last for a week and still look as good as when applied, I think that is a bit much to ask from this essence Colour & Go nail polish at its little price. For me this is the perfect product for my toenails as I chop and change the colour all the time and I’m not too worried about the odd chip as if I don’t notice it from where I’m standing then others shouldn’t either.
A better than expected nail polish at a fabulous price to have fun with.

Not a bad product for its price! While it won't last forever, it is great for in the meantime. For a quick and happy manicure, you can't really go wrong with these. They are cost effective and have a massive range or colours to choose from. The consistency is nice, the brush spreads the polish evenly and it dries relatively quickly. The manicure lasts a decent amount of time with a good top coat on it.

Fun Fun Fun Nails
These cute little bottles looks like mini pots the first time I laid my eyes on them....
I was taken by a pleasant surprise when I saw the price, what a win on my pockets!!
These colors are fun, exotic, shiny, pleasant and they will ensure that every outfit you is matched to perfection. I never imagined soooo many colours in nail polish besides the traditional colours we are accustomed to.
I also love and appreciate how light they are ensuring a quick and easy application with their user friendly brush. I am always on the run and am busy with many chores, thus these work well with this kind of living.
I run to Clicks to get my doze...Dis Chem will also supply to this need of fabulousity at affordable prices!

essence colour and go nail polish
i love these nail polishes, they come in such a variety of colours which is so awesome .... so far i have bought two colours and after trying them im so going back for more. the fact that they are so affordable and dry so quick is an added bonus. i really like that it dries so quickly because i hate when you spend so much time painting your nails carefully and then it smudges.

GREAT COLOURS

For an occasion or a fun night out
I believe you get what you pay for! This is a relatively inexpensive nail polish brand that is constantly updating its range from trend to trend! It enables you to try several types of looks from metallics to denim to shatter to gel! But they dont last ! 2 days tops! Despite this they are a great fun widely varied and inexpensive brand and i will probably repurchase cos they are so cheap and fun to use! Be prepared to reapply often

Love these super affordable nail polish colours, perfect for all occasions. Needs to be applied twice to get the full colour effect and lasts on my nails for about a week. I also like the new brush, making it easier to apply nail polish to your nails.

You'll get more than one
At R 29.99 each in a whole host of colours you'll definitely buy more than one! I bought black, blue, purple , silver, one with sparkly bits and a lovely soft pink one! Sometimes i find that at the salon where i go for a pedicure that i dont like her colours and this is where essence works out! I get a pedicure in a colour i love! But I've noticed the essence colours chip early and can only survive under a topcoat for a maximum of 3 days for me! But at the price you could paint your nails daily and have a bit of fun with the gorgeous colour range every single day of the week!

New Fan
I love this nail polish brand. Recently I received a bottle of 'English Rose' as a gift from a friend. It dried quickly whereas most nail polishes I've used tend to smudge after a few hours due to not drying fast enough. Will definitely try the gel shine effect out.

Essence nail polish
Personally I think essence is veryhigh quality at a low price. They have stunning colours and their products aren't bad. However, this nail polish won't last very long and will start to chip after a little while. It is however woderful if you need cute nails for a night out or something like that, and not if you would like to keep the polish on for long Perfect for school girls on the weekends.

I am a nail technician, doing mainly nail extensions and nail art.
Not only is the colour range fantastic but the price is great, making it easy to buy all the new colours as soon as they are available.
The consistency is great, helping with small nail art details and the drying process is not too long. Really a good investment, especially if you are the type of girl that likes to keep those tips nicely polished!!

Cheap NOT nasty
Being someone who likes to change my nail colour often, I often have the problem in finding an effective AND affordable nail polish.
This range is very affordable ( so you can add many colours to your range) but it also works extremely well. It may not last as long as more expensive ranges but it has excellent coverage and good, consistent colour. The brush means you can add a single coat quickly and effectively. The product is thick and not "watery"

Love this range!
I love the price and wide range of colours Essence offers. The nail polishes apply easily and dry quickly. They come in a wide range of shades to suit all skin tones so you'll definitely find one you like. The one drawback is that they do chip easily - mine chipped after about 3 days but due to the thin texture, touch ups are not a problem.

Gorgeous colour! This colour suits all skin tones which is great- who can resist racy red nails! The added glitter/shimmer makes it a little more exciting. Love it.

This colour is so eye-catching, my nails always get noticed when I have this nail polish on. Essence has a variety of really great colours to choose from.
The brush is the best part, it makes for easy application. I do find that it does chip quicker and now that I am close to the end of my bottle, the polish has gotten thicker and an even coat has become difficult to achieve.

Great value nail polish
For someone that is now in beauty and fashion products, I must say that I have been shopping around for some nail polish to do something with my nails... I am a true plain Jane, and never could like nail polish on my finger nails.. but I have decided to give it a try. So I went to my local Clicks and came out with Essence nail polish. Blue (of all colors) and pink. I applied on my finger nails and looked stunning. The broad, thick brush makes it easy to apply and I don't have to apply 4 layers... 2 was more than enough. Great product and I already recommended this to my nail polish addict sister who just loves it too. So that's 2 happy clients on this side :)

Essence For The Win
Being a confessed nail polish addict, I find a thrill when it comes to a good deal. I have been building a colour collection of different colour shades in my nail polish collection which can be quite taxing on the wallet. However when I stumbled onto the beauty that is the Essence range at Clicks, I was in nail polish heaven!!!!
They have beautiful colours for every season. From bright yellows, greens, oranges and blues to dark blues, purples and greens. I have tried them all and with each one get complimented on how beautiful they are on my nails. This product is around R20 and they even have perfect nail care products that go with it. I use their base coat and top coat which adds to the finishing touches.
I definitely recommend this product to my friends and we often swap colours and then end up buying our own bottles. A big thumbs up!

I LOVE the new color and go nail polish. Great if you only have 5 minutes to get those nails done! They are awesome to use as a base for some creative nail art!

I would recommend a top coat to prevent chipping or peeling.

Love Essence Products
I love Essense nail colours, the price is fantastic and I have pretty much the entire range, as I dont mind paying R20 for a colour I am unsure about, the colours go on nicely and I often top them with one of the Glitter polishes too (so much fun) but they dont stay very long, they normally last about 2/3 days before chipping at the edges, although my toe nail polish lasts a lot longer, almost perfect until I need to take it off again.

Great nail polish in awesome colours
I definitely will be purchasing some more. A great product!

Essence Colour & Go
Love, love, love! I don't use polish on my fingers that often, so I refuse to pay a fortune for colour nail polish. I have thrown too many old bottles in the bin, especially ones that were 'fashionable' at some point. That's what makes this range so awesome. It is super affordable! The quality of these polishes is great, I love the brush and the bottles. There is a huge selection, so one always 'sneaks' into my basket when I pass the Essence stand.
C
Great Product, Great Price
I love nail polish in general but this is a stand-out product for its range and brilliant, affordable price. I don't seem to be so lucky with the gel finish top coat, as it doesn't seem to go on my nails smoothly, so I stopped using it. But for durability and the sheer number of colours, it's a fantastic product. And at this price, you can get lots!

LOVE this product, The idea of getting good quality nail polish and such an good price seems like a dream. It means you can have an entire collection of colours & treatments without breaking the bank. Good quality and great coverage. Cute little bottles & trendy colours. The gel look top coat is top notch and finishes off every manicure to perfection. Love the variety of nail accessories they offer too.

Budget Nail Polish
First and foremost, I like the brush which is wide enough to cover your nail in one go. The color range is to die for..from nudes to brights.I always see myself picking at least one essence nail polish every other week. They are just so affordable. The stay put for almost 4 days which I don't mind as I tend to change my nail color every week. The formula is amazing for the price..

Colour 2 Go!
I recently purchased shade 132- break through.
I found that this colour was awesome in the sense that it was bright, perfect for winter, eye catching and quick to apply. After applying my base coat, I chose to apply two coats of the colour, followed by a top coat.
The brush applicator is really great as it is not too thin and is thick enough to use the 3 swipe technique. The new and improved formula could use a little more improving- but is a huge step in the right direction for Essence. I found that the nail polish chipped, but if you are only wearing it for a night out, or for a interview- it is great. In other words, it is not long lasting- but expected for the price you pay.
In all, I find this and most of Essence products to be great! They have a wide variety of colours, styles and types to suit each individual at affordable prices!

Full marks Essence!
The bottles are cute and small enough to keep with you for touch-ups.
The thinner formula means that this polish dries super quickly BUT it does not mean that the product is streaky. Each coat is even and looks perfect thanks to the rounded brushes that make application so, so easy. Two coats is more than enough and I've even gone with only one coat without a problem. The nail polish lasts for about a week, depending on what you're doing and how well you look after your manicure.
With regards to pricing, it is the best value for money you will ever find.
Also, their wide range of colours make it impossible to want to buy anything else ever again.
Buy it!
