Essence My Love Diary Gel Nail Polish Review, Swatches, Before & After Photos

by Tavia

Hello beauties!

Essence My Love Diary Gel Nail Polish is one of the recent drugstores nail colors that I choose to wear on my nails this spring. It’s quite a nudish rosy brown that would go well with every skin color or nail length. I’m a fan of Essence Gel top coat so I did it pair it with this new nail polish. If you are curious to see how long it lasted on my nails, do take the jump.

Essence (48) My Love Diary Gel Nail Polish (7.90 Lei / €1.55 for 8 ml / 0.27 fl oz) is a dark rosy brown with reddish undertones and a glossy finish. It has a light creamy consistency, leaning a bit more to the thinner side.

The color is pigmented and gives an opaque coverage right from the first coat. It has a natural shine, nothing too glossy though so for that effect you’ll need a top coat. It applies well, without streaking, pulling or bubbling.

I don’t particularly like the brush of Essence Gel Nail Polishes as they have uneven bristles and can alter the application and color effect sometimes.

I do recommend using a top coat to give a more even finish and add some glossiness if you prefer or you can turn it into a matt nail color and apply a mattifying top coat.

Bellow you can see before and after photos as I did keep the color for 5 days on my nails. On my left hand nails where I’ve applied top coat the color still looks pigmented and with a nice sheen but with visible tip wear and some chipping as well. On my right hand nails where I haven’t applied top coat, the nails look pretty dramatic, totally chipped and a bit brittle so it’s definitely not the formula that will last for more than 3 days on your nails.
