Essence gel nail polishes are beautifully pigmented with a wide range of fun colours. My favourite shade has to be the No. 36 ‘Dare It Nude’ shade because it’s a classy neutral colour that goes well with any outfit and is also perfectly acceptable in the workplace. The formula is thicker than average but still applies smoothly. One coat is more than enough if you choose a bold colour. However, pastel and neutral colours look better if you apply more than one coat. The downsides are that the nail polish takes very long to dry and chips easily. I would recommend using the gel nailpolish for special events rather than everyday. Given the price point, it’s possible to choose every colour your heart desires!
