Essie 6 piece Discovery Set: Gel Couture Rock the Runway, Gel Couture Top Coat, expressie Air Dry, Mint Candy Apply, Ballet Slippers, Apricot Oil

Great little starter set

Bought for a present and was so pleased with the colours

Great quality products, top coat is very very good.Colours nice choice. Only ballerina shoes colour doesn’t make even coverage. Others are fine.

Beautiful colours,very vibrant and unique. Needed 2 to 3 coats as more watery than expected but results were worth it.

This set comes in an attractive presentation box which makes it an ideal gift. Although I have not heard of the Essie brand it sounds like aimed at a young generation.Presented as a 6 piece box but is not 6 colours. I personally would not spend that amount of money on a nail couture set of polish but if the brand is carrying the price then it is certainly for the 'high-end market'Interesting that is marketed as 'Vegan' which certainly appeals to me, I would certainly choose 'vegan' or 'not tested on animals' products above all else so I would in that case pay a higher price1 - Apricot Oil = cuticle oil. Smells quite lovely and a health professional that cannot wear coloured hand nail colours this is very nice to use. It spreads on to the hands and gives a lovely soft effect2 - Top Coat. Hence only the 4 colours. Nice touch adding a top coat. Everyone always has a good top coat handy but good to offer this and presuming vegan as well.Colours - very good quality colours and really lovely on1 Air Dry = a pale grey blue colour2 Ballet Slippers = a pale pink shade3 Mint Candy Apple = a pale minty green colour4 Rock the Runway = bright redOverall I initially thought pricey expensive gift but you are getting 4 colours. But if the brand is important (I personally had not heard of it but I am probably not up to date with most brands. Described as a 'gel' but it is good old fashioned nail polish at the end of the day with 'different' colours to what I would normally choose but a nice gift for the significant someone in your life.

The set is pretty much a complete set from start to finish. It contains few line of products in a box. The traditional line, the gel contour, the express and the apricot oil. I basically tried out all of them as I am a fan of Essie products. The apricot oil is good to apply to prevent cruitcle. The express dries extremely fast, the gel contour gives extra shine top coat and harden the top to make it last longer. The application is smooth as he brush are well made. The box set is good for personal use or give as a gift as it comes in a ready to gift box. It is a good value too, normally it’s at least £7.99 for each of them depends on which line it is, but now is £31.76 at the time of review for 6 of them.

So it is a quite good set if you want to try out some Essie products as it offers you 6 different ones.In the really good looking box, you get 1 gel couture topcoat, 1 x apricot oil and 4 different coloured nail polishes ( Bluish, red, pink and mint). All the colours look really nice.I think it could be really nice present to someone who enjoys doing her nails herself, as it provides all in one place and the company are well known and respected.The apricot oil is really nice addition to the set as it is used to soften your cuticles.Now about the polishes itself, my GF used them at weekend, and are quite happy about it. She liked all the colours but mostly the red ones.All the colours except the pink one needed one coat on the nails. So far it lasted for 6 days without problems no peeling or similar. So it's good quality polish.

There is a gel top coat and the rest are very good quality normal polish
