As a nail technician and a fussy person when it comes to nail polish. I absolutely love essence. They have a range of bold, bright colours. It has just the right shine and it dries fast, giving no time for smudges to happen. It lasts long and the bottle is nice and small and easy to handle. The brush forms nicely so there is no nail polish getting on your skin. I would definitely recommend this brand to anybody looking for bold colours and long lasting nail polish.
