Essie Duo Kit - Favourites To Fall For

As soon as I saw these colours I had to have them! They're both so gorgeous and so... ME! I picked up this Essie nail polish duo kit called 'favourites to fall for' from Superdrug for £12.99, which includes the colours bahama mama (a warm, rich, creamy plum) & chinchilly (a sleek granite grey).

With these being my first Essie nail polishes, I had high hopes and I can gladly say they didn't disappoint. Two coats are enough to give an even and opaque layer of colour. The brush is a slightly bigger version of Rimmel 60 second brush, which is my absolute favourite nail polish applicator brush. The only downside would be that it is slightly wider than I'd prefer, but that's because I have quite slim nails. Nevertheless I still managed to apply the polish with ease and without making a royal mess.

The polish itself is a good consistency, not too runny but I'd prefer it to be slightly thicker so that I could get away with one coat when I'm in a rush (which is always).

It lasted on my nails for 4 days without chipping, but I think it could have lasted longer with a better base coat (I used Barry M's which I'm not convinced with). If anyone has any recommendations for a good base coat, let me know in the comments below!

I'm loving the colour range they have on offer and I can't wait to try out some spring/summer colours!
