Essence Nail Candies – Peachy Keen

Another from the Essence Nail Candies range – a range of 7 polishes that provide sheer coverage and a hint of colour to nails.  This one is Peachy Keen* and as the name suggests provides a peachy hint to your nails.

As with the previous two Nail Candies shades (name that grammar sucks right there) this is two coats over a base of Essence Anti Nail Split Sealer.  There is no top coat in these images.  Formula was good, it flowed onto the nail well and dried very quickly.  Quite impressively quick – I put this on and was out the door 5 minutes later.  No dents or dints either, that is very good news. Scent was nice and not overpowering.

We know that I am not a huge fan of nude nails or sheer polishes, there is something quite nice about these polishes.  Essence is now readily available to those of us in the UK (hurrah!) and most Wilkinsons stores should now have at least a 1m wide stand/unit.  If not, you can get the range on the Wilkos website.

Have you tried Nail Candies?  If so, let me know what you think the comments.

Essence Nail Candies – Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch

Another Essence Nail Candies for you to see today.  This one is Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch*

Very similar to the last one, Marshfellows, this one is a tinted nail polish that gives 6 benefits to the nail.  I put two coats over a base of Essence Anti Nail Split Sealer (bought by myself) and didn’t use a top coat.  As you can see above, the nail has a very very sheer tint over, it does even up nail tone and dries rock hard very quickly.  In fact, the formula on this one is lovely, its a shame (to me anyway) that is isn’t more opaque.

This is a great way to provide your nails with polish coverage without being too intense.  The shimmer is very sweet as is the scent but its not overpowering like some of the cheaper scented polishes on the market.  In fact, its quite addictive.

Anyway, you get get Essence from your local Wilkinsons store or online through the Wilkos website.  Would you purchase a nail tint?  Let me know in the comments!

Essence Nail Candies – Marshfellows

I’ve got a few posts this week to share with you from the same range.  The next few posts are all from the Essence Nail Candies range – a range of 7 polishes that provide sheer coverage and a hint of colour to nails.  This one is Marshfellow*

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The Nail Candies are supposed to provide six benefits in one polish – hardening of the nail, nail protection, evening out of the nail, a slight fruity scent, dry fast and provision of a high shine.

I test this one over a base of Essence Anti Nail Split Sealer (bought by me) and then did two coats of Marshfellow.  Its just a *hint* of colour, you can tell its white.  It really does even out the nail tone and colour.  I didn’t use top coat at all.  It dried fast and the scent was just a hint of fruit.  Nothing too overpowering but you can pick it up when you pass your fingers by your nose.  It has a slight shimmer to it as well, so you can see that you have something on your nails.  Formula is good.

I’m not one for nude or nearly there shades, but there is something quite charming about this one.  If you can’t wear bold shades in the office, this might be a good change from clear coats.

Let me know what you think in the comments!
