Some Essence shopping for spring

9

I recently did some Essence shopping. I was surprised to see the Juice It! Trend Edition in the store because I thought it came out last year. Did I miss something? Did they re-release it? So I got some products from that collection and two Matt Matt Matt lip products plus a lipliner pencil.

I love just Essence! Many of their products are so good and so affordable.

White and red polka dots

So we are back to square nails. I’ll miss the claws but I just have no time to maintain them right now so I’m taking the easy way out. I actually made these longer at first and then, probably for the first time in my life I thought “hmm, I want my nails to be shorter” :D so I filed some more length off and here we are.

Starting the new year with vampy claws

6

End of the year was so busy for me that I didn’t get to even do my nails. I was running around with nekkid nails most of the December. I also fixed the gel layover on my left hand nails twice and never had time to do the right hand. Pathetic! Right before New Year’s Eve I decided that enough is enough and I refuse to welcome the new year with horrible nails. So I finally managed to reshape my nails and fill in the UV-gel layover. I painted them just couple of hours before midnight. So obviously I stayed at home and took it easy New Year’s Eve :P

Essence the gel nail polish – 23 Wonderfuel

2

I recently visited the Essence stand in a local store and bought five polishes. Here’s a first of those five, 23 Wonderfuel from their the gel nail polish line. This polish isn’t an actual gel polish that requires UV-light to dry. It dries like a normal polish but it’s said to be long lasting. Since I have the UV-gel layover on my nails I can’t really say much about how long this lasts cos the gel layover pretty much makes every polish long lasting.

Essence – Top Of The Ice-stream

2

I got my hands on the whole Essence Snow Jam collection earlier this year, thanks to lovely The Swatchaholic. This is actually the first polish out of the four I have taken swatch photos of. Top Of The Ice-stream is a sheer shimmery white with a hint of icy blue in it. I love this polish! I don’t think I can find another bottle so I’m almost afraid to use this in a fear of running out. It’s only a 8 ml bottle :/

Application was excellent and dry time was fast. This is a bit on the sheer side but I only used two coats on the photos below plus HK Girl top coat. So very pretty!
