Gel Nail Colour Nail Polish (14 All-Time Favoured)

Applied at lunch time, literally half of it has chipped off already and it's not evening yet.

Perfect colour I love it for me.

I bought it thinking it was an actual gel polish, because it’s called GEL nail colour… when I did some research I found out that it’s not cured with a lamp but I loved the colour so much that I wanted to try it anyway. Even though I only use gel. When applying, it super streaky and it dries way too fast in between strokes, on the same nail. It’s lumpy and only looks good from a distance. I used it on my toenails with a real gel topcoat, that looks so much better. I’m really disappointed

I’m conflicted. I bought the “Chili Together” colour without knowing it was “gel”, and applied 2 coats (no base or top coats). Lasted for days without transferring or chipping! So I bought more colours, plus the base and top coats, thinking it would maybe last even longer. These applications last MAYBE a day or two before the polish chips. If you’re wondering, I applied on clean, filed/buffed nails and I use kitchen gloves when doing dishes or handling cleaning products. I do love that the colours don’t leave streaks if you rub your nail on something (the wall, paper, etc) And the price isn’t bad.

I am based in South Africa and have been a loyal user of Essence products for a considerable time. I consistently find the brand to offer exceptional quality at an affordable price point. In particular, I am extremely impressed with Essence nail polishes. I own a wide range of their colours, all of which apply smoothly, dry well, and provide excellent durability. The variety and creativity of the shades make it easy to find a suitable option for any occasion. At present, I am wearing Essence “Inner Peas” as my base colour, finished with Essence Glow in the Dark as a top layer. The result is elegant during the day and uniquely striking in low-light conditions, adding a distinctive and playful element to my manicure. Essence continues to demonstrate that high-quality cosmetic products do not need to be expensive. I confidently recommend this brand and look forward to continuing to use and support their range.

I love these nail polishes sooo much. I have over 30 shades because theyre just THAT good. The colours are so cute, they last 2 weeks with no need for touch ups, theyre shiny, fast dry, and the application is very smooth. I tried a lot of nail polishes and these are the best so far.

I bought this and applied it a few days ago, I was my hands one on the same day of application and the nail polish had already started chipping on 3 nails. Very poor quality of ingredients and an absolute waste of money

I cannot even comprehend how great this nail polish is for the price. My nails look like I went to salon and got real help nails. They look like glass. I officially am determined to purchase every color.
