Essence swatches
Today I'll show you some Essence swatches.
I recently bought 3 polishes from their regular line in shades: Cookie Love, Oh, My Glitter! and Gorgeous Bling Bling. These 3 were the ones that I thought are the most attractive, but later I changed my mind about one.
You probably all know about their new bottles and brushes, but here is my opinion:
Firstly I didn't like their bottles, but now I'm really in love with them, and I also think that the brush is really great. It makes application really easy. The only problem I had with this polishes is that Oh, My Glitter! and Cookie Love chipped in less than a day on my nails. I'm not sure if it is the formula, or maybe the brush. Yes, the brush! Although it is perfect for application, you can easily have too much polish on the brush, and we all know what happens with thick coats of polish-it chips easily. Their formula is super shiny and they dry fast so I don't have any complaints about that. I must try applying really thin coats next time to see if this will do the trick. I will definitely buy some more shades in the future!
Here is the brush picture:
Now on to the swatches:
I really suck at describing colours so it is probably the best for all of us that I skip this part =)
The first one is Cookie Love. I really liked it on other girls swatches, but IRL it kinda disappointed me. It just didn't go well with my skin tone, so this one will probably have to find another owner. I still love the colour, just not on me.
This picture was taken in shade
and this one in the sun
The second is Oh, My Glitter! I love this one!
I wasn't able to catch it's beautiful shimmer/glitter, it looks a lot more awesome IRL
I used 2 thicker coats
Direct sun
and shade
The last is Gorgeous Bling Bling
For this one I thought I'm really gonna hate it, because it looks a bit dirty and I don't like dirty colours. I bought it because I don't have anything like that in my stash and because I saw how good it looks on other girls swatches. And when I applied it I fell in love. I'm not sure what is it that makes it so special, but I really love it. I already know it will be my favourite this fall.
I applied 2 coats
shade( on a cloudy day)
Under daylight light bulb. Really crappy quality, but I really couldn't do any better.
What do you think about them?
Which one is your favourite?
Which shades did you buy?
Oh my! Love Oh My Glitter, may need it in my next swap ;) Great swatches!
ReplyDeleteAmanda. I'm glad you like it =). You just might get it =)
DeletePrvi me ni prepričal. Potem sem ponosna lastnica drugega, a ga še nisem uspela preiskusit. Tretji pa me tudi ne prepriča.
ReplyDeleteImajo pa res zelo širok barvni izbor teh lakov. Eni so čisto nekaj posebnega medtem, ko so drugi barvno čist mimo. No vsaj meni
Mateja, prav imaš, nekateri so res čist čudni odtenki. Meni je taprvi bil pa res všeč, ampak na nohtih izgleda ogabno. Me je pa tazadnji res pozitivno prepričal =). Mogoče bi tudi tebe prepričal, če bi ga nalakirala =)
DeleteZaenkrat imam že enega modrega nagledanega, ampak sem danes ravno dobila svoje nakupe iz ličil in zapikenai, in imam zaj res celi mesec dieto =)
hi :)
ReplyDeletei am also having those problems with the new polishes.they chip on the next day...im thinking its the formula but like you said it could be the brush

I really have to try them with thinner coats, in I succeed I'll let you know =). I would be really sad it it's the formula, because Essence is one of my favourite brands =)
DeleteUuu, vsi so mi všeč, ampak zadnji je pa najboljši. :D Ga bom morala vzet, zaenkrat imam le Oh, My Glitter in Grey-t to Be Here, ampak ju moram še sprobat, me zanima, kako bosta pri meni obstojna. :)
ReplyDeleteMateja Mateja, zadnji je res zelo lep. Nisem bila prepričana, ampak ko sem ga pa nanesla me je pa popolnoma očaral =). Grey't to be here ye tudi lep =). Tega bo tudi treba enkrat poiskati, ampak najprej morem kakšno plačo dobit =)
Deleteoh my glitter is gorgeous :D
ReplyDeletefemktje, I completely agree with you. I fell in love when I saw it =)

DeleteLepi so vsi! Zdaj pa komaj čakam, da bodo novosti tudi po DM-ih :)
ReplyDeleteBiba, sem ravno včeraj hodila po DM-u in ugotovila, da tam nimajo vseh odtenkov, tako da bo za kakšen odtenek treba tudi v Mullerja ( lahko pa tudi meni naročiš )
DeleteI am loving all of them!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them =)
Deletevsi so mi všeč, ampak ta drugi je yummy.
ReplyDeleteOh my glitter je res nekaj posebnega =)
DeleteMeni je pa prvi izredno všeč :)
ReplyDeleteStradivorsky, meni je prvi tudi zelo všeč, ampak nekako ne paše na moje roke. Sem res imela občutek kot da imam umazane roke =)
Deleteu dm-a i kozma još nisam našla na novu kolekciju,pretpostavljam da cu je prije nać u mullera,nego bilo gdje drugdje,a on mi je daleko,moram mjenjat 2 autobusa do tamo
