I am addicted to the Essence nail ranges – the colour are lovely and they are super affordable, which means you can seriously stock up on a whole range of colours. I haven’t noticed that the polish chips faster than any of the other makes of polish I use, but I always apply both a base coat under the colour and a topcoat over the colour, which makes it last longer. My only complaint is that Essence shelves of my local Clicks stays bare – they do not stock up often enough, otherwise I’d be buying these little gems on a weekly basis!
