Essie Set in Stones
Leanne of Do Not Refreeze is all over glitter polishes like a tramp on chips. I, on the other hand, don’t indulge in them much because they are horrendous to take off (I don’t have the patience to cocoon my nails in cotton pads and seal with tin foil). However, Essie has lured me back…

The U.S nail shop
Six months ago I spoilt you with showing off all the nail polishes I grabbed from my Miami trip. (Jeez, has it really been that long? Tell me where 2012 is racing to, please!) Here’s are a few swatches on some gems I swooped down onto like an over-excited magpie. All photos were taken with…

Essie Mochachino
Hi everyone. Here’s a rare Essie for you. Can you believe that? I don’t actually have many Essie polishes in my collection – you can see swatches of my whole collection here – and it’s not really a brand I feel much affinity to, in all honesty. Too many sheer pinks! This, however, is a pretty…

Essie Chinchilly
This is a long-time lemming of mine, which I resisted for month and months. Eventually though, as you can see, I folded, and added it to an order of a couple of other things I was buying from ASOS (costume jewellery for my hen party, I think). So, when Essie deviates from pastel pinks, she does…

Miami haul
*sigh* It’s been a over month since I returned from my holiday in Miami. Jet lag lasted about a week, work has been non-stop and my body started to wind me up by making me feel poorly. Still, I had a very relaxing trip, toasting myself in the 28 degrees sunshine, clocking up the calories and yes, a…

My Essie Collection
One of the reasons that I haven’t been blogging a lot lately is because I had a bad nail break on each hand, and I really couldn’t be bothered to cover them up with fakes just so that I could swatch for the blog. However, they’re growing back now and I’m pleased as although I’ve…

Essie Rock Star Skinny
This is one of the first polishes I ever reviewed on here. It went into the “trieds” box and hadn’t really seen the light of day for a number of years. It’s a shame when that happens. being a nail polish blogger is often like being a magpie crossed with a goldfish. “Ooooh shiny…” and…

Essie Amalfi
I don’t seem to review a lot of Essie on here, do I? I have about ten bottles, which I suppose in the whole scheme of my collection is not really a lot. I don’t know why I’m not drawn to buy any more – perhaps because I find the bottle and application a bit…

Essie Pound Cake
A couple of months ago, I decided I would work my way through my nude polishes as a base for the Nubar Glitters and the OPI Alice in Wonderland collections – kind of like killing two birds with one stone, but I’ve only got round to publishing it now as I kept delaying it, not…
