I'm mixing it up with a pop of colour featuring a smooth creamy green from Essence's Colour & Go line. Viva La Green is a cool but vibrant mint (almost turquoise?) green and would be a fantastic spring/summer shade for fingers and toes. This is China Glaze For Audrey's distant green cousin.
It's a pretty straightforward creme finish and the formula was a little on the thick side so the coverage was a teeny bit uneven. Nothing a few drops of lacquer thinner can't fix! This is two coats without top coat. Essence creme polishes have a wonderful glossy finish so you can easily go without an extra layer of sheen.

I like how the cool undertones contrast with the yellow undertones of my skin.
Until next time.

Very pretty! My local Essence stands are always picked over so very few colours are available :(
ReplyDeleteI've been finding that too - I wish Target would restock the stand more often because every time I get to the Essence stands they look very sad and tired these days...
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous green for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria! It's probably one of my favourites :)
DeleteThis shade is amazing, I have this sitting with a flaky next to my bed to pop on next (giving my nails a rest right now) so I was so excited to see it posted here!
ReplyDeleteWe're thinking along similar lines - after I did this swatch I topped with a glitter polish. Flakies over this will look amazing :)
DeleteI love this one! It reminds me of the ocean.
ReplyDeleteThanks Larie, it's a wonderful blue-green isn't it? Now you've got my mind wandering to the beach and the tropics!
DeleteIt really does look lovely with your skintone! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Vintage! xo
DeleteI've seen Essence at our drugstores now and I had no idea their bottles were so teeny tiny! You always make these shades look so great though I'm not as convinced when I see them on the shelves.
ReplyDeleteThey're little but they're loads of fun! A lot of times the polish actually does look better on the nail. I don't know what the prices are like for you but the Essence stuff is uber-cheap down here so I don't mind taking a chance.
