Essence The Gel Nail Polish (Review and Swatches)

Today I prepared a post about the new Essence nail polishes from The Gel line. For these polishes you don't need a UV light for them to dry. I have looked everywhere to get this shades (in Müller they were almost all sold out). Actually, I decided to buy them when Taya made a great review on them. 

They come in a round glass bottle, the cap is the same colour as the shade. Essence improved the formula of the polishes, they should last longer than the colour&go ones. Some colours are actually pretty similar to the old ones (you can see that on Katja's blog). I noticed the formula is creamy and really nice to work with, but I did notice it gets thick quite fast, if you use the nail polish regularly. Color range is large, you can get whatever color you want. The brush is straight cut and thick, easy to work with.

I applied two coats for every swatch (except for a whisper of spring I used three) for full coverage. It dries quicker than I expected. With their top coat from the same line it dries very fast and the top coat gives a very nice shiny finish. They last pretty long on my nails, if I use their top coat, they last up to five-six days.
