Essence:French Manicure

I love French manicures to death but unfortunately due to work and my hate for false nails I can never usually have one. As of this I was super excited when I spotted the new Essence makeup counter in Wilkinson's the other day and found these products which were perfect for creating my own French manicure at home. Now considering I was only looking for a cheap and temporary alternative for a French manicure im very impressed with these little products. The Gel look top coat make,feel and look like a professional, Glossy, gel coat over my nails and prevent chipping. I will definitely be using it a lot just normally over my coloured nail varnishes to make them last longer and look glossier. Secondly I got the Tip painter in natural white. Now this really wont be for everyone as it requires a lot of patience and a steady hand but I really liked using it as it gave me a really professional tip which was a very nice white which didn't look too artificial like the bright white would have. The brush was incredibly thin and pointed which made applying the colour to the tip easy which also gave me a very neat nail.I also spotted tip guides at the makeup counter which will make painting the tips a lot easier, quicker and neater but I was feeling brave and did my nails without.
 
Thanks for reading,Hope you liked it :)
