NOTW Fiji

I have another NOTW for you beauty readers!

Today I wanted to go for a look I have never worn before. It's a VERY pale pink, almost white, called Fiji by Essie.

Essie - Fiji

I have quite mixed up feelings about this polish. It's a gorgeous color, but I think the white undertone is just too pale for my skin tone. I prefer varnishes with more pink undertones. I think this would look awesome on beauties with a paler skin tone.

As for the formula, it's a very good creamy polish. I've applied 2 coats on the picture above and you'll see that I have gotten an opaque color.

I must admit, I have given Essie a fair chance to convince me of their polishes. I have 9 Essie polishes and besides Go Ginza there's no Essie polish that stands out for me...

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be repurchasing Essies anymore.
What is your favorite Essie polish? Maybe that will get me over the fence of having my first 10 Essies :)

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! :)
