Essie Treat Love and Colour
On 02/15/2021 by Gemma MeekEssie’s nail polishes are some of my favourites and I recently added to my collection in the form of their new Treat, Love and Colour range which promises strength and colour in one bottle. I have four colours to review, so if that sounds like something you’d enjoy then read on.
When the Essie parcel arrived, my eyes immediately wandered to the shade Final Stretch* which I would describe as a peachy nude. It’s got a similar formula to the original Essie nail vanishes, but it does look a little more ‘finished’ almost looking like a gel nail vanish in appearance. It lasted a considerable amount of time on my nails despite doing gardening and baking, so it gets a thumbs up from me.
At the moment, the shade Essie Take 10* probably doesn’t suit my skin tone very well as I can look washed out, but I was so surprised with how opaque this shade went with two coats. If you enjoy a classic pink shade then this would be the perfect shade for you.
If you want a slightly darker shade then Punch It Up* may be for you. It’s still got that vibrant pink hue to it, but it has a gold running shimmer through it which makes it great if you’re opting for a statement nail look. I personally think this is still a little too bright for me, but the gel type finish it super pretty (and looks a lot more expensive than it is!).
Out of the four nail vanish shades that got sent to me, it’s the shade Berry Best* that disappointed me. In the bottle it looks like it could be a sister of Essie’s Angora Cardi* and I was thrilled by the prospect, but unfortunately it just didn’t deliver. It’s a beautiful colour, but it just doesn’t go opaque enough for me, but if you’re still tempted, it’ll be handy to know that the glossier looking finish means you can get away with no top coat if you’d like.
I love an at-home manicure just as much as the next person, but if I’m honest I often skip the cuticle care and just go straight for a nail vanish and hand cream. When the Essie Apricot Nail and Cuticle Oil* arrived, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I find that it’s a nice step to add to your routine especially if you suffer with dehydrated nails.
