Every year around Christmas different polish companies start releasing holiday collections. I am quickly overwhelmed with RED RED RED and maybe a few greens, a white and the token glitter thrown in at the end.
I love green polishes but I rarely, if ever, paint my nails red. Because of this I usually end up ignoring most of the holiday collections and only picking up the glitters and maybe a new green.
This past holiday however, I was pleasantly surprised with Essie's Holiday colors.
Yes, there were red polishes (three of them) but one, much to my surprise, that I absolutely had to have, and the most beautiful turquoise blue I have seen yet. Even their glitter was fun and unique compared to others I had seen. Woah. They even a had a BEAUTIFUL deep cream blue. I loved it!
I ended up only purchasing two from this collection. Where's My Chauffeur and Leading Lady. I might end up grabbing Butler Please later on, but right now I'm happy with just these two.
I have already worn Where's My Chauffeur several times and am just head over heels for it.
I love this polish because it's almost a one coater, I used two just to cover some bald spots for the photo and it is SO shiny. A very smooth application as well. I'm wearing it here with no top coat.
I also layered Kawaii Nail Laquer's Snowflake Effect (a beautiful custom polish) over for a winter look
The prettiest.
And now for Leading Lady:
Haha, please ignore my unpainted thumb. I don't usually paint it when swatching colors ;)
LOOK AT THIS RED THOUGH.
IT IS SO DARN SPARKLY
The application is wonderful, and is shown here with two coats, no topcoat. In the future I would probably use three coats for a more perfectly opaque look and definitely top it off with a top coat for added shine.
Feeling punky
I hope you all enjoyed the photos
