In 1981 Essie Weingarten launched her first 12 offbeat nail
polish colours. Since then essie polishes have become a firm favourite with
women of all walks of life all over the globe.
Whether you like dramatic or natural, essie has one of the
best ranges of colours that you could wish for. Cult classics such as ballet
slippers have, allegedly, even graced the hands of the Queen. The polish is
good quality, glides easily on to the nails and wears well.
Now, thanks
to the recently launched essie Gel Couture, you can have a long-lasting
manicure in only two steps. You apply two coats of the special chip-resistant
gel-like polish – no need for a base coat as it is already built-in – and
finish with the quick
drying top coat which gives an incredible shine.

There are 25 shades (£9.99 each, Boots) in the collection
ranging from nudes to brights. The cute curved bottle has been designed to
resemble the “twirling dresses of the runway”. The brush seems to hug the curve
of your nail so you get better coverage.

I love fairy tailor, a sheer nude pink which looks elegant
on. If you prefer a creamy peach, give sew me a whirl. For a classic red that
looks really classy on hands and feet rock the runway is hard to beat.
These polishes offer the benefits of a gel manicure without
having to use a UV lamp to dry your nails and they can be removed easily.
