Beauty Review – Essence Shine Last & Go! Gel Nail Polish

*I would like to stress that I am not being paid to write about these products, I was not gifted the products for free, nor is this a sponsored post. I feel like in the current climate of misleading information online, it is important to address but I am just a little blogger doing her own thing and have bought all stated products with my own money.*

Back in February, Essence cosmetics released their latest nail polish range. Their new formula polish claims to be quick drying and long lasting, while leaving you with a super shine on those talons! They are also vegan friendly and at €1.90 are very affordable.

For years now, – since my early teens – Essence have been my go to for nail and eye products, I have always loved their core nail polish range for their variety of colours, wearability and price. I mean, what’s better than having cute nails for a fraction of salon prices? If Essence released a new and improved core polish range, then I wanted in!

After lusting over their Instagram feed full of polish teasers all the way up to the release, I stalked my local Essence stand until they were in store and grabbed two beauties to try! My personal favourite shades were ‘Wild White Ways’ and ‘Millennial Pink’ (obviously 😉 ) and so they were the first two I bought.

I couldn’t decide which shade to wear first so I opted for a Spring worthy look of pastel pink and white. Upon the first application, I couldn’t believe how fast drying this new formula actually is, they feature the same gel like look as with the previous range with a gorgeous shine that will leave you weak for your own nails! I didn’t apply a top coat but they also seem to live up to the claims of being long lasting, and without a top coat and for the price, that is pretty impressive.

They may have shaken up their nail polish range but Essence know how to take a well loved product and make it even better. They say if “it it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” but that certainly doesn’t apply here! Get down to your local Essence stockist now and snap up some for yourself. 🙂
