Hey beauties!

As requested, I will continue showing you another one of the new colour³ nail polishes. This time the top coat is a very beautiful flakie nail polish – it looks amazing in the bottle and I must really say: Thank you Essence for producing a nail polish so uncommon for drugstore brands.

The base colour is a nice and deep blue colour with very fine shimmer. In the bottle it has a slight duochrome effect shimmering purple but this is not visible on the nails. This blue is almost a one coater! I only used one coat for the pictures.

The “top coat” as I said is a very beautiful and unique blue base with green microshimmer and green flakies. I used one coat on top of the base colour for the pictures. I noticed that the flakies didn’t “sink in” which I really like, the application of both colours was nice and easy. Even though, like I said before, you might need a little time to get used with the two-sided bottles and the heavy brush experience.

Now to the pictures! Sorry for the spam but as you might know, flakies look soo different in different lighting!

And now lets add the flakies!

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Hey beauties!

Ever since I saw first pictures of the new Essence colour³ polishes I knew I needed them all. Essence really has brought to us some very nice and unique colours. They all consist of two colours, where one is a sheer top coat for the base colour on the other side.

Now I finally found a drugstore that already has the new product line of Essence and I bought all of these “twins”. I had a hard time picking the first colour combination to wear but then I went with the smoky dusty purple with the beautiful iridescent glass fleck top coat and I’m glad I did. The pictures can’t capture the shinyness and sparkle of this combo – it goes crazy in the sunlight! In the shade the duochrome glass flecks show all their beauty: they shift between pink, purple and blue.

For the pictures, I used two coats of the base colour and one coat of the top coat. The application was good, even though I had to get used to the bottle with two openings and having a very heavy brush because of the other nail polish side being stuck to it. It’s not a problem though.

Here is what I was able to capture from these nail polishes:

Are you going to get any of these twin-colours? I recommend you do Stay tuned for more swatches of the other combos in the next days!

Hello lovelies!

Today I would like to show you a combination of nail polishes I wore last week – I fell head over heels in love with it and it was perfect with the weather – finally some sun and the freezing cold temperatures disappeared too. It feels like spring is almost here! Yay!

The base colour is OPI “Planks a Lot” from the Pirates of the Carribean Collection. It is a muted or dusty purple creme colour, very shiny and opaque in two coats. Very flattering for cool skin tones.

Looking at this clean and shiny creme colour, I can’t help but thinking about how amazing glitters, flakies or other shimmery top coats would look over it – so I couldn’t resist and put one coat of Picture Polish “Festival” over it (sorry for the pic spam). Some say that all these multicoloured flakies come close to those in the famous CultNails “Clairvoyant”. Enjoy

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend! As for me… I’ll try to get back to normal after an overload of carnival
