Essence Colour 3 ~ Midnight Date and City that never sleeps

Essence Colour 3 ~ Midnight Date and City that never sleeps

Dark shimmery blue and sheer purple with green and blue flakies

I bought these two polishes in Germany, and that concept is that you have two colours, a base and a top, and when applying both you’ll end up with a third colour.

The base colour is a deep, vibrant, almost metallic blue. It’s almost a one coater. I tried to apply a thick coat but it still missed that depth that a second coat gives. So I applied the second coat, and I ended up with the most beautiful blue! Perfect as a base for glitters, for stamping and for flakies.

Here it is – two coats, no top coat yet:

Isn’t it just beautiful? I even think it could be used as a stamping polish. It’s very pigmented and relatively thick, so I might try that out soon. But not today.  Today is flakie day, namely the other side of the bottle: “City that never sleeps”.

I applied two coats and a layer of Seche Vite top coat. I think it looks quite cool actually. Take a look:

What do you think? It’s a bit “quiet”, but I guess that all manis don’t have to be equally loud. :D
