Essence Like An Unforgettable Kiss

Hello again! Would you believe me if I told you that I finally got an entire collection of polish? That's right, I did! Lol. When I seen that all were available I snatched them up :p 

This collection from Essence includes four cream shades great for Spring! 

First up is Always On My Mint

This gorgeous mint was a little bit streaky so I had to use 3 coats. Other than that, I really enjoy this polish. 

This is Pink Me 

This pink was really creamy and applied really Nicely and evenly. The shade itself is really pretty too! This is 2 coats. 

Here's Nothing But Lovestoned 

I'm not sure how to describe this...peach or coral? Maybe a bit of both? Lol either way, this one had the best formula out of the four. This is 2 coats. 

Lastly, You Let My Heart Skip A Beat

Who doesn't love purple?!!  It's really pretty but seemed a bit thin. Maybe it was just my bottle or the way I applied it. 

I used 2 coats. 

Over all, I really liked this collection and Essence polishes always dry really fast too and very affordable. I got these for $2.49 each from Shoppers Drug Mart. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Essence Aquatix Collection

Hey yall! Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers!! Today I have the Aquatic Collection from Essence. There is actually 5 polishes in this collection but I only grabbed 4 because I really wouldn't have worn it. All of the polishes were a bit sheer in the first coat but built up nicely. 

Here's "Finding Dori"

Finding Dori is a blue/green duo-chromeit has a very subtle, but nice shift. It was A bit brush stroke-y. Other than that, good polish. I used 2 coats.

This is "Under The Sea"

A gorgeous light blue holographic polish, who doesn't love a holo?!? Unfortunately, my macro shot isn't very colour accurate.  I used 2 creamy coats for the pics above. 

Next is "Mermaids Secret"

Mermaids Secret is a pretty jellyish polish with iridescent flakies that shift to purple and pink. So pretty! Dry time was really good for this polish but was also the streakiest on the first coat. This is 2 coats.

Lastly is "Underwater Love"

Underwater Love is a dark blue, slightly textured polish. The green glitter in it makes it appear turquoise. Soo hard to photograph! Pics don't do justice! Go buy his polish now!! Great dry time. I used 2 coats. 

Thanks for reading!

Essence Dark Romance Collection

Hey guys! Today I have the three polishes from Essence's Dark Romance collection. It consists of one matte, texture, and one shimmer. 

First is "Gothic Gold"

    Artificial light

This is a gold texture, and it's so pretty in real life! It dried really fast and had good application. This is 2 coats. 

This is "Red Romance"

    Artificial light 

This dries to matte finish. I added topcoat to my ring finger so you can see the difference. The first coat looked a bit streaky, but the second fixed that up! This is 2 coats. 

Lastly, "Dark Night Starlight"

    Artificial light 

This is my fave, unexpectedly, from this collection. When I applied the first coat it looked blue! 

Look at this beauty!!! Good application and dry time. Two coats. 

I picked these up from Shoppers Drug mart for $2.49 each! Essence polish has awesome prices. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Essence Beach Cruisers Collection

Hey y'all! Today I have the Essence Beach Cruisers collection for ya, well actually only 3 of the 4. I have bad luck when it comes to finding a complete collection lol. This collection consists of 4 textured polishes with a shimmer. The one I'm missing is a gold one. The formula and dry time were good for 2 of them, I'll get to the third after the jump. 

First up is "I ❤️ Summer Break"

    Artificial lighting 

This macro is the most colour accurate, it is a red-orange texture with red and gold shimmer running through it. This is 2 coats no top coat. 

Here's "Keep Calm And Go To The Beach!"

    Artificial lighting

This textured polish has gold and green shimmer in it and is my favourite out of the collection! This is 2 coats no topcoat. 

Lastly is "Girls Just Wanna Have Sun!"

    Artificial lighting. 

Nice peachy colour with orange shimmer in it. This is the polish that have me a little bit of trouble during application. It just seemed a bit thick so I had to use 3 coats. Other then that, no issues.  

Overall, nice collection with cute names! For only $2.49 a bottle, why not give em a try!

Essence Cookies & Cream Collection

Hello everyone! Today I have 3 of the 4 polishes from Essence's limited edition collection, Cookies & Cream. This collection is neutral shimmers, I think! 😜 

Each polish came with a little pack of decals! 

First up is "Last Night A Cookie Saved My Life"

    Artificial lighting 

    Macro

I used 2 coats for the photos above plus topcoat. Of course I had to apply one of the cookie decals the polish came with! First coat was a bit streaky, but the second cleared that up. One thing all the polishes did was it showed all the grooves in my nails. Oh well! 

Here's "Macron, C'est Bon!"

    Artificial lighting 

This is probably my fave of the collection! It's so pretty! I used 2 coats plus topcoat.   The application and dry was good. 

Lastly, "Yummy! Yummy!"

    Artificial lighting

This was also opaque in 2 coats which is awesome! The macro isn't very colour accurate, unfortunately. I used 2 coats plus topcoat. 

Anyways, thanks for reading!
