Essie Jelly Apple Varnish

Advantages: It makes my nails look really healthy and shiny
Disadvantages: It takes about 5 minutes to dry

...I paid £8.50 for a 15ml bottle of Essie Ballet Slippers Varnish. I've used Essie nail polish before and I thought it gave fantastic results and made my nails look great. The Ballet slippers colour is great for someone who has pale skin. The varnish Goes on and stays on better than any other nail polish I have used. It doesn't chip easily, and continues to stay shiny and fresh looking for days. Essie has a variety of beautiful colours to choose from but this is defiantly my favourite. I prefer this colour because it's a subtle pale pink so it doesn't look over the top when I'm going out shopping. The Application is as follows... It's Very easy to do I recommend that you that you apply the varnish by painting a strip in the middle of the nail and then two strips at either side. I had to wait quiet a while to apply my second coat... Read review

...products. One of my favourite brands of nail varnish is Essie and it is a brand that you probably wouldn't find in your everyday high street store like Superdrug and Boots. Essie is brilliant and their nail varnishes come in a massive array of colours all of which have eye catching names to suit their colour. I was introduced to Essie nail varnish by one of my very close friends who use nothing else and I now buy mine in bulk online. Each bottle of Essie nail varnish contains 15ml of nail varnish and costs around £8.50 and my current favourite bottle is called Sole Mate nail varnish and it is a lovely deep shade of maroon and goes perfect with almost any outfit that I own and lovely long nails it looks striking. Each bottle lasts me on average 6-8 months depending on how much I like the colour which I think is really good value for money... Read review

Disadvantages: A little bit more than the normal brands

...I recently discovered the Essie nail varnish range during a lunch time stop off in the Body Shop. It’s starting to get dangerous this obsession I have with that place but I still can’t walk past without going in and buying something. So as they were offering two of these bottles of Nail varnish for £8, normally £4.99 each I not only got one to go with my new lipstick but also one to match my Lancome Rouge Magentic lipstick as well. So I decided my second bottle should be this, Essie’s A List varnish. Now obviously this was a bit of a gamble as having never used the Essie range before, spending £8 on two rather than sampling one first was a bit of a gamble. It is a gamble I always take and thankfully with the Essie range it is one that has certainly paid off. The shade of the A List varnish was exactly what I was looking for, well... Read review
