The cap has a colour similar to that of the nail polish, while the brush is flat, wide enough and with a rounded tip.
I used it without a base coat and without a top coat… the result is shocking.
The colour payoff is phenomenal, and its finish is very shiny. So shiny that taking my pictures has been really hard. I could see the opposite block of flats in the reflection… Look closely at my pictures because it’s true!
The gel nail lacquer gives that great gel effect without using a UV lamp, and lasts longer than a regular nail lacquer. Despite the typical wearing signs along the tips, Juicy Love is scratch and chemical proof and may lasts up to 8 days. It also dries decently quickly.
PROS:
- it has a great colour payoff
- it’s long-lasting
- highly resistant to scratches, shocks and chemical products
- easy to apply
- it has long-lasting shine (no top coat needed)
- it doesn’t stain your nails after removal.
CONS:
- it isn’t available everywhere
- may stain skin and cuticles during the removal process.
The exact shade? Juicy Love is the Red, the perfect red. It isn’t coral, as there are no orange traces in it, nor racing red because it’s more intense. It’s warm like love and juicy like a tasty fruit.
Its cost varies depending on the country but one thing is sure, it’s totally inexpensive and can be bought through retail fashion shops selected by essence.
Check essence.eu in order to find the closest store with an essence display.
It has been my 2015 go-to summer colour!
