Pretty Polish - Essie - Chips no potatoes

Ok so I'm a little disappointed with this Essie colour! In the bottle it appears very beige golden almost champagne like! However when applied to my nail it is so sheer. In the pic I've applied 3 coats plus Sally Hansen megashine. I used this a few weeks ago and hated it. However now I'm tanned the colour is growing on me. It's not a statement colour, more of a pretty subtle colour. However for those who prefer subtle colours or for people who work in areas that bright pink nail varnish is not appropriate, then this would be one for you. It does catch the light and the gold reflexes in the polish look gorgeous. I think I might apply it over another nail polish in the future for that little added extra.

Pretty bargain polish!

Well I bought this item about an hour ago and I feel it was such a good bargain I had to blog about it. I have been looking for a matt pastel lilac nail varnish for a while now. When grabbing my last few bits in Asda this evening I had a quick look at the nail varnishes and then this little beauty caught my eye. It's by George which is Asda's own brand. The official name is 34 Be mine. I'm not a snob by any means but this item was £1. So straight away I thought shame, the colour is amazing but the nail polish will be rubbish. So I walked off thinking I would have a look in the airport. By the time i got to the till I couldn't stop thinking how great the colour was so I convinced myself for £1 what did I have to lose. Well it was so easy to apply and is just as gorgeous of a colour on my nails! I've applied two coats with Sally Hansens megashine as my topcoat! I'm not saying I'm going to convert from my Essie and OPI but it's nice to have a cheap alternative even if it only lasts a few days, what more can you ask for for £1. I'm waiting for there to be a catch and it to be all chipped off in the morning but we will have to just wait and see.......update coming soon!

Pretty polish!

So I've become a little obsessed with nail polish! Here is Status symbol by Essie. It is a gorgeous girl pink and I think it is now one of my favourite pinks! It's lovely to apply, however you do need a few coats to try to get a full coverage of your own nail (if that makes sense). I wonder if anyone could let me know if there is a trick? Some people wear light colour nail polish and can cover the white tips of own nail completely? I've applied Sally Hansen megashine as my topcoat! I will update this post with the staying power as I've only applied today!
