This is not the first Essence Nail Gel polish I use, I have plenty of them but I don't remember why I did not write a review on these products before.
The difference of these gel nail polishes is the fact that their formula is thicker than the usual nail polish, it is actually like a watery gel, as the name states, but it dries beautifully, it is highly pigmented and gives a nice shine on nails. Also, it lasts longer than any other nail polish and for this reason and only, I am very pleased with these.
The brush is larger than usual, which I really like and I find it easier to use as it glides beautifully on the nails. I don't know why other brands still make brushes too small to use and you need to keep applying and applying the colour until the nail is fully covered. But this wider brush makes painting my nails so easy.
Two coats usually do the job perfectly and the result is a lovely glossy finish. However, this nail polish does not dry super fast like many other similar products. I painted my nails, waited for 2-3 minutes and then I applied the second coat and waited for at least 10 minutes.
Do you speak love? is a lovely dark red shade that I chose to wear especially in fall and winter and it would be the perfect shade to wear on Christmas day. On camera it looks slightly brighter and lighter than it actually is, but in real life, it is the perfect dark red shade.
On me, it lasted 4 days without chipping and after that, there was a slight wear at the tip of my nails, which is a miracle for me since a regular nail polish would last only 2 days.
Have you tried any gel nail polish from Essence? What is your opinion and what shades have you tried?
Hope you are having a lovely Sunday and I will see you soon!

As I said on your IG feed, I have two shades from this range and I love both! I need to add this red into my collection too, recently I have been wearing red non stop on my toes. Have you tried the Essence Quick Dry drops? It makes a whole world of differences to me as I am able to quickly let my nails dry every time I paint them.

This looks lovely! I really like this colour, very nice in time for autumn :) yasminanicole
ReplyDeleteI have actually tried some of these polishes, but they seem to chip on me just as fast as the color&go ones... I wish I didn't have to apply nail polish every two days :D This is a gorgeous color, though, and I will continue buying these, since I think that for the price, they are amazing xx

I've only tried the lipsticks and brow mascara from Essence, but so far have been impressed with the quality considering the price, so it doesn't surprise me that their nail polishes are pretty good as well. Although I'm trying to abstain from buying any more nail polishes since I have so many and hardly wear them, it's definitely a good brand to keep in mind :)

This color is amazing, but I am surprised that this worked out for you. 5 months ago I bought this one but in white color for my sister's wedding and it was horrible. It was splotchy, super thick consistency, omg, I hated it. Threw it in trash immediately. :D
