I love having beautiful nails, not only because it makes you feel good but I believe that a woman should maintain her nails and ensure they always look good. I must admit that I used to shop for the more expensive nail colours because I believed they were better quality, until one day I saw a pretty colour on the essence display and thought oh well give it a try. I now prefer this brand to most other brands, the brush for me is a huge selling point. I find the thinner brushes does not give an even finish, by the time I have got to the other end of my nail it has started drying and leaves a horrible finish, with the essence brush being thicker it coats my nails beautifully. The colours are rich, vibrant and there are options. It is affordable and does not chip or fade. Love it
