Essie ~ Congrats!

Essie ~ Congrats!

Described as sparkly soft pink nail colour with silver blue, purple and pink glitters

I don’t buy a lot of Essies but they seemed to have produced more polishes that are up my alley recently. I found “Congrats” in my local drugstore and bought it on the spot. It’s super sparkly and glittery.

The formula is good and easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time is average.

I applied water decals on my ring finger and the middle finger. I matched the colours of the water decals on the remaining fingernails with the dry brush method. I used two stamping polishes from El Corazón for that; a green called “Nephritis” and a lilac called “Lavender”. I topped the dry brushed nails with El Corazón’s holo flakie topper “421h/25”.

Here’s the final result.

I dig this!

This is “Congrats!” on its own; here’s two coats and a layer of topcoat. All the sparkliness made my camera freak out a little bit.
