Essie is up there with Nails Inc as my favourite nail varnish brand. I love their products, gel manicures and ballet, so when I heard that they were bringing out a collection of ballet-inspired nude shades in their gel couture range, I wanted them all...
There are six neutral shades and a high shine topcoat in a glossy gel formula which give a really long-lasting finish. I love the names too: a silky champagne ivory colour called Satin Slipper, a misty rose pink called Lace Me Up (my favourite), a coral peach called Hold the Position, a soft cinnamon nude called At the Barre, a periwinkle powder blue called Perfect Posture, and a soft shimmer grey called Closing Night. Beautiful.
