Essence: C'est La Vie!

I'm so happy to see coral and orange back in full force this southern spring/summer season.  I saw racks and racks of pretty things when I was out shopping this weekend so I know I can continue to indulge my love for all things coral for a while yet.  Okay, so that's my segue into today's NOTD post.  So, speaking of all things coral...

Today's coral polish is from my ever growing collection of Essence Colour & Go bottles.  At first I thought C'est La Vie leaned more towards peach but I've finally decided this is in fact the perfect shade of coral.  I got lovely creamy coverage in two coats and with a base and top coat this easily lasted for the working week (I've recently read some reviews suggesting inferior wear time with the Colour & Go polishes but I find wearing base and top coat eradicates this problem for me and the polish still dries quickly).

Are you a fan of coral and/or orange?

Until next time.

    I do love a coral polish and this looks amazing on you. I have a similar Essence polish but I think it's called something else.

    I agree with you, with a good base/topcoat I have had no issues with any of the Essence polishes!

      Absolutely - I think Essence polishes are brilliant regardless of whether they're a bargain. Have you seen they're about to stock the new range soon! More colours to try....

      Hold out for a little while Saumya because the new range's coming out over the next few weeks - shelves are bare at the moment as they run down old stock to bring in new packaging.

    I am a massive fan of coral and of orange, I wear both shades quite often on my nails and have far too many pieces of clothing of those colours too!

      Oh, me too! I just bought some more coral pieces for my wardrobe last weekend. The colour suits me so I'm giving it a good run for the money, lol :)

      That must be why I like it! I love happy, bright colours best and I'm busting for summer :) Thanks for the compliments on the application - it's the polish and brush which makes all the difference!

      We're getting the new bottles very soon now. The shelves are being cleared of all the stock to make way for the new stuff. I'm curious now how the brush will be different? I like the old brush too :/
