Essence The Gel Nail Polish Review

A couple of years ago we tried some Essence Nail Polish and after just one day it chipped quite badly so we gave it up as a bad job and moved on to more long wearing brands. Over the past couple of weeks, however, we have been hearing some good things about Essence The Gel Polish formula so we picked up a few shades to try out. Essence have a really wide range of colours so we were spoilt for choice but we settled on 37 Serendipity - a pale greyish lilac, 30 Let's Get Lost - a deep sea green/blue, 08 Whatever! - a bright baby pink, 51 Miss Captain - a dark grey/blue. At just £1.60 per polish Essence The Gel Nail Polish is so affordable you can stock up on a variety of colours without breaking the bank! Gel polishes seem to be all the rage right now with every brand having their own take on a long wearing gel manicure so we were really interested to see how these polishes wore.  

Maybelline Dr Rescue Nails

While browsing the aisles of Superdrug this week we stumbled upon some Maybelline products that we had not seen before. We have been fans of the Baby Lips and Dr Rescue range of products in the past and when we saw more goodies from the range we started to throw them into our basket as we wanted to show you what we had found! We are not sure if this is a new range or if we've been living under a rock and it passed us by, but we are excited to give all of the products a try as they are soooo affordable! Most of the products are only £2.99 and readily available in Boots, Superdrug and Wilkos right now.

Dr Rescue Nailcare

Dr Rescue Nail Care All In One: This is described as a base coat and top coat in one and also acts as a treatment/strengthener. Should be a good multi tasking product!

 

Dr Rescue Peel Off Base Coat: We can't recall ever having used a peel off base coat but we are curious to give this one a try!

 

Dr Rescue CC Nail Care Base Coat:  A colour correcting base coat that conceals and whitens nails. We always use a base coat before polish so we are interested to try out this super affordable option. 

Dr Rescue Gel Effect Top Coat: Who doesn't love glossy nails! We are big fans of the glossy nail look and for only £2.99 this could be a perfect budget option for a gel effect finish.

Dr Rescue SOS Nail Balm: This is a new one for us! We've never heard of a nail balm but if it's anything like a lip balm then bring it on!  This is a pale blue coloured stick with jojoba oil and shea butter that nourishes the nails. Intriguing!

Dr Rescue Quick Dry Drops: We have tried some quick dry drops from Essence in the past but were not too impressed as they seemed to dull the look of the polish so we are keen to see how we get on with these interesting looking drops!

Have you tried any of the Dr Rescue Nail Care line? We'd love to hear what you think in the comments below!
