Summer Challenge Day 12: Stripes
Let me introduce to you: My very first Essie polish. Well, it is in fact
the second, but it’s the first I wear! Amazing, eh? I’ve heard a lot of good
stuff about Essie, so I figured I’d give it a go.
My base for this stripy mani is “Jamaica me crazy”, a deep shimmery
magenta.
The formula was nice, the brush is a bit thin for my likings, but
manageable. And it was almost opaque in one coat. I gave it two, just for the
heck of it!
Two coats, no top coat:
Delicious, eh? Deep, shimmery,
sexy, seductive! I like this colour, even though I don’t wear it very often. I can see on
the pics that the polish dries up a bit gritty, which I find very odd for a
shimmer, but it doesn’t show in real life, so I don’t mind so much.
Time for stripes! I used a black striper polish from Claire’s and a pink
glitter striper from Flexbrush. None of them appear to have actual names. I
striped with the two polishes alternately, and sealed it all up with a layer of
Poshé top coat.
Let me introduce to you: My striped nails:
You should check out these other Danish girls’ blogs to see what they
came up with for striped nails:
Stay tuned the day after tomorrow - same bat time, same bat channel –
for nails with animal prints!
Beautiful colour! I haven't tried Essie polishes before but I've heard good things about them. Love the stripes you added :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) It took me a long while to try Essies out, because there are also people who hate them, so I was unsure of what I'd think of them :)
DeleteEj hvor er de fine!:-)
ReplyDeleteTak :) Jeg er også selv meget tilfreds med dem :)
DeleteJeg synes også at de er rigtig flotte! Dejlige farver:)
ReplyDeleteTak skal du have. Jeg er *meget* glad for den Essies farve :)
DeleteEeeeekkk Essie :) yay!!! :) og så i en farve jeg IKKE har :D
ReplyDeleteKan det nu også passe! :D Og jeg har stadig et par stykker mere jeg skal have prøvet :)
DeleteHvor er den bare en flot farve!! Jeg synes ikke rigtig jeg kan genkende navnet, er det fra den permanente linje?
ReplyDeleteTusind tak!! Jeg har læst at Essie'en er fra Essie Holiday 2011 Collection. Jeg har ikke så meget forstand på Essie endnu :D

DeleteUhh det er en hot mani du har fået lavet der :-p
ReplyDeleteTak, jeg er også *meget* tilfreds med den, selvom striberne er lodrette ;D
DeleteIhhh den essie har jeg også, overvejer at sælge/bytte den, men nu bliver jeg helt i tvivl :-D
ReplyDeleteFine striber! :-)
Jeg kender godt det der. Giv den en chance til, og hvis du stadig er i tvivl, så må den have et nyt hjem :)
