Happy Friday! I've a roller coaster of a week, but finally it's over and I have 2 days to recover.
Anyway, here are some little cuties from Essence that I received in an international swap with Simon from Italy.
Essence "Glamorous Life"
2 coats, no top coat
Gorgeous pink shimmer. This is a nice bright fuchsia jelly-like base with bright pink shimmer inside. This polish was easy to apply, but still pretty sheer in 2 coats, I bet this color would be best over another fuchsia color or maybe even white :)Gorgeous!
Essence "Princess Prunella"
2 coats, no top coat
Princess...YES, Prune? NO! I wouldn't call this prune, more mauve frost. Apply well in 2 coats and the formula was nice and smooth. If you look closely you can see pink and blue shimmer in this beauty, very nice. I'm not a fan of "frost polish", but this is still very nice.
Essence "Gleam In Blue"
2 coats, no top coat
A very pretty bright, yet light, blue! This color can show brushstrokes, but if you apply the color smoothly you should be able to get a perfect manicure!
Essence "Hard to Resist"
2 coats, no top coat
Gorgeous navy blue shimmer, bright and beautiful. This color is very similar to other blues I have, but that does not take away from how great it still is. Applied nicely in 2 coats, smooth and rich, no pooling, no staining. :)
Essence "Midnight Charm"
2 coats, no top coat
Nice navy blue frost. I'm not in love with it, but it was opaque in 2 coats. The formula was a bit thick, but still controllable and easy to apply. Not terribly unique, but still great for fall. :)
Overall, these little beauties do not disappoint. They are cute and small, a great price, and my favorite part is the bottle tops always match the color, I think that is sooo cute! LOL!
You can swap for them with an international swapper or you can go down to your local ULTA and grab them yourself. :) I do not know if you will find these exact colors, but I know ULTA carries this brand.
Keep It Sweet!

Lovely shades you got in your swap. I have yet to spend the time to build up my profile and get know on MUF so no one to swap with. Where I live no Ulta and no one carries Essence.
Lovely swatches! My favourites of the lot are Glamorous Life and Gleam In Blue :)
awww, love the shades!
Love them!! :)
I hope you liked them! Midnight Charm is one of my favourite blues :)
