Since i started to read a few blogs with swatches i came across some bloggers who showed a polish of Essie. Most of them were very possitive about this brand. They find the colors opaque, smooth applying, just a "perfect" polish. Since i don't know where to buy Essie in the stores in The Netherlands i decided to ask my friend Jae from the USA to send me an Essie in our swap. I saw this beautiful color "Marabou". It's a pink polish with a subtle coral teint in it in my opinion. I'd asked her to send me that one in particulair and she did. Yay!!
Am i just as excited as the girls who's blogs i've read?
Uhhmm, no!
Let's start with the possitive thing. The color is BEAUTIFUL! I really love it!
When i started applying the first thing i saw the polish was quite thin. I prefer a bit thicker substance. The brush was pretty small which i didn't like much either. The first coat was very stricky, and the second was too. Eventually i needed 3 coats and some of my nails still weren't opaque. Well, just take a look at the pictures...
You can see my pointer finger has some "clear" spots after 3 coats.
Again....the color i like very much ♥
I thought this is the perfect color to make an elegant spring design with.
What do you think of this design?
Thank you for your time!
Untill soon!! xoxo
I dont know if this would help or not with the streaking but I would try and apply a white coat before you apply the color, after that dries then apply the color and see if that makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteHiya!
DeleteThanks, i will defenately try that one time.
I don't think it will make a difference, because i just think it's the substance.But who knows ;-)
I love that pink, too! Yes, Essie`s brushes are verry thin and match perfect for smaller nails. A have a few polishes of that brand as well, but the colours I have are thick enough to cover even in one coat. This one is for french mani, I suppose, and that`s why it isn`t so opaque. I love your nails! And I really like the spring decoration you did :)
