Essence The Gel Nail Polish - Space Queen Swatch & Review

Essence The Gel Nail Polish - Space Queen Swatch & Review
1 coat over black + top coat in artificial light
Essence' Gel Finish - Space Queen is such a fun glitter polish. The bottle holds 8ml of polish. Please excuse the slightly dented polish on my index finger. I was too tired to redo the whole nail 😔.

Shade
So this polish has a ton of blue, green and peach to gold glitter suspended in a clear base. I almost thought this would be a holographic polish, but it's not. It's beautiful nonetheless. The blue/green combo obviously looks stunning, but then you see the flashes of peach sparkle and that's just magical.

Formula & Application
The formula on this polish is amazing! It's so easy and smooth to apply. The consistency of this polish is just right. It glides so smoothly on the nail but isn't runny nor thick. Of course Essence polishes have pretty good brushes which help with even application. I've used one coat here and the glitter pay off is amazing. I suppose you could also sponge it on, to wear it by itself. I don't prefer to wear glitter polishes without a solid base colour though.

The polish does dry a little gritty as the glitter particles are on the larger side. So you would need a generous coat of top coat to smooth it all out. As with most glitters, removal is a pain 😓

I was wearing a purple polish on the day I got this and tried it on over it immediately 😄.  It looked great over that too. So if you don't like black polish, you could surely wear a coat over any other colour and this polish would add a ton of sparkle to it.

Longevity
I can't vouch for how long this polish lasts, as I've never worn it by itself. If layered over a good base polish, this will hold up well.

Final Thoughts
It's glitter, it sparkles and has an amazing formula. Need I say more? 😏
