I go through phases where I'll be absolutely obsessed with a particular makeup product. I've just come out of an infatuation with cream blushes and now I've been wanting to pick up every nail polish I come into contact with, which is weird because I've never been a real polish girl. It does have something to do with the fact that companies are continually bringing out beautiful, affordable polishes that simply knock me off my feet (ahem, Face of Australia, cough cough) but still, I have a bad feeling I'll end up with an enormous, unused collection by the end of this...
Nevertheless, I am here with a completely seasonally inappropriate polish, 'Do you Speak love?' from Essence. I first spotted this on a beauty blog and decided that I was mine because it was gorgeous and I (surprisingly) owned nothing like it. At about $2 or $3 it is so affordable, and all my experiences with Essence polishes have been positive ones.
This is no different to any other Essence polish. It has a beautiful creamy, non-streaky formula and allows for complete opacity to be achieved in only two coats. I love the wider brush as it means the nail can be coated in two or so strokes.
This beautiful vampy ox-blood shade has catapulted itself into my favourites already and I get the feeling, despite that I should have worn this all through winter, that it will be on my nails all holidays!
I used to be OBSESSED with nail polish, and have since amassed a huge collection. I still love polish but I think the obsession has trickled into blushed and lipsticks. I used to want (and need) every type of finish/glitter/etc out there. I haven't bought any Essence polishes since they repackaged, I need to get on that!

Lip products have always been my weakness! At first I wasn't a huge fan of the new Essence packaging but I have since decided that I really quite like it!

Such a pretty shade! I've never been obsessed with nail polishes, but have the largest collection of anyone I know, it is just ridiculous! My nails are usually bare so it doesn't even make sense lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really wonder how I accumulate so many polishes when I really am not overly obsessed (not with polish anyway!). Oh my gosh, my nails are almost always bare too...although that is mostly because I can't wear it to school. As soon as I'm on holidays they'll be painted :)

love the shade!
ReplyDeleteMe too, it's beautiful!
DeleteI've never tried any essence products! It looks like I have an excuse to pick something up :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Oh my gosh, go go go! I recommend their nail polishes, the clear lash and brow gel, their lipstick in 'All about cupcake' and apparently their lipliners are good too. Haha! You definitely need to give some Essence products a shot!
