    I bought a bright red the other day and it's amazing! I was not expecting it to be so opaque and easy to use, and I just needed one coat! I'm really, really impressed! And it was just 2€, so I'm...

    I love these gel polishes. I have been collecting a few colours now. They are only $3.25 AUD, which is a bargain. I do recommend buying the top and bottom coats for durability and a shiny finish.

    I have tried so many nail polishes over the years and I am completely impressed with this nail polish. You don't need a special light with this polish. I use their top coat and base coat that...

    When I first started using the gel polishes I was very excited, now I have stopped using the Essence polishes all together. Because they are fast drying my nails startes splitting, so badly I have...

    I purchased the set (Gel Base Coat, Gel Top Coat and a couple of Gel nail polishes) on impulse - was having an Essence Beauty product haul due to the affordable price, wasn't expecting much but...

    I love these nail polishes because they are cheap and have a large range of colors. I have more than 20 shades. The quality isn't always the same. Some chip after a few hours and some last for a...

    Definitely my favourite nail polishes, great range of colours, and the brush is absolutely amazing, it makes it so easy to apply the polish, not streaky at all and rarely chips on my nails. I have...

    Color selection sucked, nail polish chipped the next day even with the base coat and took me over two hours to dry and ended up still being sort of sticky/wet even with two thin layers of polish...

    Certainly not the best nail polish out there but for the price it's fantastic. It seems as if this was introduced as a replacement for Essence's Colour And Go nail polish which I wasn't a fan of...

    I'm always excited for drugstore shellac nail polish because I usually get it done at a nail salon and I'm always looking to save money. So I bought the essence brand top coat, base coat, and...

    I bought the base and the top coat, along with a few other nail colours. I believe the key is in the base and top coat, as I have used these 2 with other brands like OPI. My nail colours never last...

    I bought a few of these the other day and immediately tried Fame Fatale, along with the The Gel Base and Top Coats. The whole shebang dried in under 20 minutes and the color payoff is great. I'm...

    This is a new line for Essence. The gel nail polish is supposed to stay glossy and last longer on nails. I have this in two colors: Va-va-vooom ( orange red) and Sweet as Candy ( sheer pink). This...
