To Buy Or Not To Buy
Hi
guys! Today’s nails are my first experience of Essie nail polishes, I know
where have I been, right?
‘To
Buy Or Not To Buy’ is very appropriate for my first Essie post as I have actually
been umming and arring over whether to buy or not to buy these polishes for a
while. Now I’m not tight with money but I can’t help thinking is a nail polish
really worth £7.99 when you can buy a gorgeous Barry M polish for £2.99? I know
some brands are more expensive than Essie but there are also some a lot
cheaper.
Well,
you can imagine my excitement when I read on Twitter that Fragrance Direct were
selling Essie polishes for the bargainous price of £1.99! so I picked up 3, I figured
if I can try them at a cheaper price and liked them I wouldn't feel guilty
paying full price.
Anyway
back to the polish, I'm impressed. I love this colour a gorgeous pale lilac
with blue glitter undertones. The brush is quite thick which makes application
very easy; I applied 2 coats to get the desired look.
I
was a bit disappointed that the blue shimmer doesn't really show up on the
nails but I can forgive this as I still really love the colour.
Overall,
first Essie impressions, so far so good and it has definitely made me want to
buy some more. (And if more appear on Fragrance Direct happy days!)
Do
you love Essie nail polish? What’s your favourite shade?
I love this colour. I imagine it would look good on tanned feet too! x
ReplyDeleteTear deffo i like pale colours with a tan :) x
DeleteOoo this is so pretty! I like Essie but agree they can be a bit expensive. I suggest looking around TK Maxx as they always have sets of 3 for around £10 x
ReplyDeleteI've heard you can find them in tkmaxx im going to have to have a look! x
DeleteThis colour is beautiful and I love Essie polishes, my favourite ones have to be Nothing Else Metals and Bikini So Teeny - Gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeletei really like the look of bikini so teeny thats on the list to get :) x
DeleteI adore Essie polishes, I find the formula is fantastic and lasts for ages on my nails. Quite often boots have Essie polish on 3 for 2 which does make it a lot easier on the purse! I prefer the lighter colours to the darker ones but that's just my personal preference.
ReplyDeleteive been really impressed with the staying power too! i will def have to wait for 3 for 2 x
DeleteI have this! Love it! X
