I will admit, the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel collection was not high on my list to try. At around $10 each, I can buy zoyas or even indies so while they have been around for ages, I have only tried a couple of the shades. That is, until I won a set of five plus […]

Essie Summer 2017 Collection Drip Marble Nail Art

When you get new polishes, you have to see how well they work together. So I threw all six of the Essie Summer 2017 collection polishes together in a drip marble. Sil Vous Plait really steals the show from the cremes with a bit of foil-y shimmer but I think they work well together. I […]
Essie Sil Vous Plait Swatches & Review

Essie Sil Vous Plait is a wonderful foil and the final of the summer 2017 collection shades! A rose pink foil. Now usually, this kind of colour would make me think of the polishes my grandma wore way back and still does. But on the nail, it has some shimmery foilish goodness going on that I just […]
Essie Baguette Me Not Swatches & Review

You having that weird thought that there is already a polish named Baguette Me Not and it doesn’t look like this? OPI has one with a dusty salmony-dark pink colour. I think Essie missed the mark on not naming this something macaron themed as it matches the purple-pink of macarons at my local bakery. Anyway, […]
Essie Eclair My Love Swatches & Review

I will start by saying that I don’t know if I just got a bad bottle of Essie Eclair My Love. Before I got it from Intense Polish Therapy’s giveaway, it was on my list to buy as so many bloggers recommended it as an almost one coater with a great formula. For me, it […]
Essie Blue La La Swatches & Review

A beautiful cool pastel Parisian blue for those hot days! Essie Blue La La from the Summer 2017 collection was one of my faves when I first saw this collection. I do love a good blue and in the bottle, it was close to the blue toned Mint Candy Apple. A touch less minty green […]
Essie Fondant Of You Swatches & Review

The second of the Essie Summer 2017 polishes I am trying this week is Fondant of You. A darker peachy-coral creme with a hint of orange shimmer. It is described by Essie as a sweet shimmery apricot marmalade. A bit deeper than Tart Deco, this is a great summer shade and the shimmer makes it […]
Essie Sweet Souffle Swatches & Creative Shop 71 Gradient Stamping

I recently won a set of the Essie Summer 2017 collection in Intense Polish Therapy’s bloggiversary giveaway so will be sharing them with you this week. The collection is inspired by the sweet pastels and glittering sugar confections of Paris’ most opulent cafes and a great mix of shades. Starting with Sweet Souffle which I have […]
Avon Gel Finish Clover Nail Polish Swatches & Review

So many new shades from Avon’s Gel Finish line. This is Clover and the fourth of the new shades hitting the next Avon catalogue. If you missed them, see my swatches of Terracotta, Rose Noir and Head In Clouds. Still to come after today’s beautiful light green is Violuxe. I did not expect it to be a […]
