NOTW: Go Ginza


Hi ladies!

I don't know about you beauties, but I'm more than ready to say goodbye to cold, snowy, rainy, depressing winter. Can't wait to give a round of applause for spring!

Essie has released their new spring collection, and man oh man, do they have pretty colors!
This collection is called Madison ave-hue and (as Essie is known for) they have the cutest names, but this time they gave it a little twist to it.
The names are all based on 6 cities:
  • bond with whomever (Bond Street in London)
  • maximillian strass her (Maximilianstraße in München)
  • hip-anema (Ipanema in Rio De Janeiro)
  • madison ave-hue (Madison Avenue in New York)
  • go ginza (Ginza in Tokyo)
  • avenue maintain (Avenue Montaigne in Paris)

  • I've picked out 'Go Ginza' for this week:

    Essie - Go Ginza

    Girls, I've fell in love with this color!
    It's a very light lilac color, which is almost baby pink. It goes on opaque after 2 coats, but I applied 3 just to be sure this gorgeous colors stays on longer (Mental comfort? Ow yeah!) It has a creamy texture, which gives the nails a nice sheen. Overall, a winner!

    I must say that this collection has come out with colors that can't be easily found in other drugstores, except for hip-anema then. We all have colors that look like these polishes, but when applies, you can always notice a slight difference in them.

    Essie, you've done spring proud! :)

    NOTW: Yummy Mummy

    I have another NOTW for you beauties!

    This week I was rocking Butter London's Yummy Mummy:
    Butter London: Yummy Mummy
    This is such a GORGEOUS colour!
    It's a simple classic nude that goes with everything.

    This is my first Butter London polish and I must say (unfortunately for my wallet) that I'm loving BL's formula. They go on smooth and opaque in just 2 coats (although I've only put 1 coat on the picture above). I must admit that this has been one of the best polishes I've used so far. It's just a shame that these BLs are so darn expensive!

    I do have to buy these online as they don't sell this in Belgium (hint hint), so I'll have to pay for shipping costs as well...

    Nonetheless, I won't be able to restrain myself when I see another must have color :p

    LO-VING these and I highly recommend these polishes!
