My Essie Nailpolishes

My friend Megan (The Breakfast Report) first introduced me to Essie nailpolishes, in fact, she's the one who got me into beauty at first. At the time I didn't know much about nailpolishes' formulas, they seemed all the same to me, BIG MISTAKE.

When I purchased my first Essie nailpolish, Mezmerised, I automatically fell in love with the brand. The amount of shades they brought out is crazy and the brush is the right size for my nails. The formula is amazing; for a perfect opaque finish, most nailpolishes will only need two coats. I think 8 euros is a reasonable prize for such amazing nailpolishes, so I went off and bought Sol Mate awell. Burgundy is probably my favourite colour to wear on my nails, and everybody needs a little dark red in their lives! The minute my friend told me that Forever Yummy was on her nails, I knew I had to get my hands on that colour. It's a deeper red with a hint of brick colour. I would recommend using a base coat to avoid stained nails. And of course, let's not forget the sheer colours in their collection. Sugar Daddy is one of them, the perfect sheer baby pink, 3 coats of these are good to go for a simple and natural manicure. And lastly there's Marshmallow, I picked this up thinking that it was going to be an opaque white, unfortunately it's a sheer nailpolish, so next time I go back I will buy the real opaque shade, Blanc.

Oh boy if I'm an Essie fan. If there's one problem I have with their nailpolishes is that they chip quite easily on me, but there's nothing a good topcoat can't do!
