Beauty bonus: This range of shades is bright, fun and perfect for summer — we loved the orchid-inspired shade "too taboo" as well as the envy-inducing electric lilac colour dubbed "sittin' pretty".
Beauty bummer: Like most other essie polishes, the price is a tad steep.
Overall: For the diehard essie fan, this collection is a must-have.
We loved the gel-like shine produced by only two coats of each polish — and the extra-bright colours didn't hurt, either.
Whether you're looking for the perfect manicure colour for a holiday away, or are just ready for an everyday pick-me-up at home/work, these electric polishes just might do the trick.
Would recommend: Yes
Price: Approximately $8
Available at: Mass retailers
