I don't have any nude coloured nail varnishes at all. I'm usually someone who prefers bright colours, and glitters - subtlety in nail varnish isn't me at all! But I liked this.
This is two coats plus topcoat. The first coat went on VERY streaky, and looked shockingly bad. However, when it dried, it looked great! I can't get my head round that. One coat looked really nice, but was quite sheer,so I added another for full coverage.
I really liked the formula and the brush. The brush was a bit wide for my little fingers, but with care, it was fine. The formula is smooth and shiny, and goes on really well. The streakiness disappeared totally as it dried.
I really like how this looks -it's subtle and calm, and looks nicely unobtrusive. While part of me is tempted to throw a load of glitter over the tips, or over one nail, I also really like how grown up and sensible it looks, so I'll keep it like this for work tomorrow, and maybe play with glitter tomorrow night!
I didn't know! I shall put Essie brand on my shpooing list for you. The varnish that got me back in (after a long nail hiatus) was an Essie. =)
ReplyDeleteWell it looks as though we now have them! In large quantities - there was a massive display with lots and lots of colours. No glitter though!
DeleteGot it. ;-) Essie doesn't do too much glitter. But when they do, they're legendary; like "Starry, Starry Night".

DeleteYes, I've seen that online, WOW!
DeleteI definitely want to get some Essie since seeing it in Superdrug! John Lewis has always had Essie but it's more expensive in there. I have too many untrieds to justify buying any yet though!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I rarely get in John Lewis, so I did not know that!
DeleteI know what you mean - I have a load of untrieds too. I just couldn't resist them!
I also find the first coat of my Essie polishes streaky when applying, but when finished they look gorgeous. Strange...
ReplyDeleteIt was very odd. But as you say - perfect with two coats. Mine is still looking completely fresh, a day and a half later. I'm impressed!
