Nude nails are all the rage now. And it looks lovely and sophisticated. I also decided to try nude nails and bought
Café Ole from Essence. I love the
colour. It is the only colour I want to
wear now.
But I am less than impressed with Essence. In all honesty it was cheap, and you probably got exactly what you pay for. The nail polish cost all of R25. It is a dream to apply. The paint brush is wide and works well. The consistency is perfect and it applies easily, dries quickly and does not smudge while applying. The other great thing was that it was fairly opaque, even though it was a light colour. One coat looked decent. Two coats gave a lovely finish.
However, it does not last even 24 hours. It chipped really badly after one day. I will definitely buy a nude colour nail polish again, but I will not buy Essence, unless I want to experiment with an unusual colour. It is cheap enough for experimenting.
I found mine in Dischem, but think it is sold elsewhere as
well.
