Not many women have the time and energy (not to mention the money) to sit in a nail salon for hours on end while they eagerly await their perfectly manicured nails to dry – only to have to repeat the whole process again two weeks later. But essence studio nails promises a perfect manicure at half the price, in less than fifteen minutes! (Although you will have to do the work yourself.)
Essence has brought out a six-piece starter kit that includes everything you need to be able to do it at home, by the pool or at your friend’s house. They will not damage your nails and can easily be removed at any time.

These were a bit of a disappointment. I expected my nails to last much longer than just over a day. Plus my nails felt so unnatural and looked and felt so bumpy and uneven. I really wasn’t pleased with this. Especially because it was around the price of a gel manicure but left me feeling so disappointed.

Essence are great at producing super affordable products. We have no excuse for not experimenting :)

II love the idea, and it’s adorable. However, I’m not crazy about Essence nail polish. It doesn’t apply smoothly. The kit seems a bit complicated as well, but I suppose with practise, it should look okay-ish. The price is reasonable enough to buy and try.

I absolutely love Essence products! They’re so affordable, and always great quality. I love their nailpolishes, their blush, their tinted moisturizers! Everything I’ve ever bought from them works beautifully. I Would love to try out this kit. It seems really good and is affordable. like all their other products.

Was really disappointed with this product. It’s so hard to do and nails look so uneven and ugly, I’d never waste R100 on this product again
