About a month or so ago I bought my first ever Essie nail varnish! It was blogging that bought my attention to this brand. I wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about with Essie - until I came across their stand and instantly fell in love with the amazing range of colours available! But at £8.00 each, I was sensible and picked up just one bottle... the absolutely gorgeous Lapis of Luxury. It is described as a dreamy, ocean blue and makes me think of some exotic beach location (take me there please?).
Unfortunately when I applied this I only had time to apply one coat, but you will see from the pictures that you still get good coverage from it - though I really would recommend two as there were a few thin patches on a couple of my nails.
I can see why Essie is such a raved about brand. It is a dream to apply - the large brush and thick formula makes it effortless. It also dries surprisingly quickly - my left hand was dry to the touch by the time I'd finished my right hand. I will definitely be going back to add more Essie to my nail varnish collection very soon, the problem is choosing which colour next!!
What's your favourite Essie colour?

I have this too, it's my favourite shade from Essie!
ReplyDeleteThis one caught my eye straight away, tis lovely!x
DeleteYet to try Essie but I think when I do I may pick up this shade first. I love blues and this one's gorgeous and so different to everything else I have (: x
ReplyDeleteWould really recommend paying a little more than normal and trying Essie. That's exactly one of the reasons I liked this - it's not like any other colours I have!x
DeleteWow that blue is gorgeous on you! Never tried Essie but sounds like they're fab, the fast drying time sounds like a big bonus, I always ruin mine:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah I often do that too, so frustrating isn't it :-) x
DeleteI love Essie polishes, that blue is gorgeous! :) x
