Essie: Lights

This spring, Essie released a line of polishes under the name of Poppy-razzi.  It consisted of 4 polishes: Lights, Camera, Action & Bazooka.  Two shades instantly caught my eye and I had to pick them up.  The first of the two shades is this one here: Lights.

Essie: Meet Me at Sunset & Essie Luxe Effects: Shine of the Times

It's been a while since I last did a nail polish post.  This week, I have been sporting this bright almost festive nail combo of Essie 'Meet Me at Sunset' topped off with Essie Luxe Effects 'Shine of the Times'.  This shimmery combo leans towards a festive end but is still bright enough to catch some attention.  It's definitely worth a look.

Essie: It's Genius

Another day, another nail color, another Essie polish!  Talk about giving my nails a little TLC.  My favorite Essie polishes are the ones with this type of finish.  An (iridescent) shimmer finish.  Where it is not a creme sheen or a jelly or a foil or metallic but where it looks like it has very finely milled glitter in the polish and is almost slightly metallic when it catches the light.  It's Genius is part of Essie's permanent collection and is a gorgeous dark magenta-purple shade with silver reflects embedded within the polish.

Essie: Wrapped in Rubies

One thing is for certain, these pictures do not do this nail polish shade justice.  I'm talking about Essie's Wrapped in Rubies.  I have never been so curious about a permanent collection Essie polish as I was with this one.  I swore when I found it that I thought it was seasonal with the way it looks.  Again, this is one of those iridescent shimmer polishes.  This is like an amped up version of what I think It's Genius is (post on Essie's 'It's Genius' to come soon).

Essie: Angora Cardi

If you haven't guessed already, I am a nail polish junkie. a fanatic. a devotee... I am nail polish obsessed. Well enough about my addiction to nail varnish, this is Essie's Angora Cardi.  The one thing I love about Essie, is their colour selection.  Not just their seasonal collections but their permanent line as well.  The finish and colours are amazing.  My only gripe with Essie?  The consistency of many of their polishes is too thin - which means you need more than 2 coats to get an opaque colour.  Not this one!
