I’ll never forget my first Essie manicure (one of only a few, let me assure you) at London’s Elemis spa a few years ago – I was reviewing a treatment and the manicure was tagged on at the end. My nails looked fantastic and I was intrigued by all the Essie nail products the therapist used (drying drops Quick-e and The Nail Corrector pen in particular which I immediately rushed out to buy and yes, still use today, they are brilliant). Anyway, a lovely little gift package from Liberty arrived this week containing this futuristic neon orange Bazooka polish and I thought it would make a nice twist on the traditional pillar box Christmas red.
