Essie nail polishes have had a makeover, with a thicker formula and wider brushes to make home manicures easier.
In New Zealand, there are only 100 of the full 2000 shades available, but they include the Queen’s top pick Ballet Slippers, a soft white with a faint blush of pink.
Those of us not constrained by royal protocol may want to go brighter for summer.
My pick is Jam n’ Jelly, a raspberry shade ($22.99 each).
