Essie is up there in my top nail polish brands, with their vast range of unique shades and high-quality. Costing around £8.00 each, I've found it's a lot better (and more personally satisfying) to buy the duos which cost around £13.

My latest set is 'hey sweetie pie!' which contains two candy colours: 'tart deco' and 'splash of grenadine'. This is the perfect pairing for vibrant nails and immediately takes me to a cocktail party. 

The shades speak for themselves, but I'd like to share the descriptions on the packaging as they're spot on...

Splash of grendaine: sweet and sassy, a playful magenta pink that's totally desirable. Tart deco: chic and modern, a dreamy coral with an artistic burst of colour.

What do you think of this Essie duo? Let me know in the comments!
