Swatchfest 2013: Essie Collection Part 4.

Hey Everyone!

The Swatchfest continues so let's get started!

Essie: Demure Vixen.


A really sheer polish that has a subtle purple shimmery glow when light hits it. This polish would be perfect for someone who needs to have naked nails for work/school but wants to cheat (I don't know about others but I can't stand to have naked nails for too long!). It can also be used as a top coat for other polishes. It is fairly easy to apply because there is no need to worry about streaks or patchiness. The formula has an amazing drying time with a really smooth consistency.

Essie: Hot Coco.



This gorgeous creamy brown really does resemble a warm hot chocolate and is perfect for a manicure to warm you up on a cold winter's day. It has a thin consistency with a quite disappointing application. I don't know whether it was the way that I was applying the polish but I found it quite hard to get it to look consistent on my nails. I needed to use quite a few coats to stop it from looking streaky and patchy, also the drying time was a bit average. Despite this I still love the colour and the fact that it looks really glossy once applied. I was left feeling a bit undecided about this one.

Essie: Smoking Hot. 



This perfect winter shade is a creamy grey with a hint of purple mixed in. This polish makes me feel really sophisticated and I received a number of positive comments during the time that I wore it. It looks amazingly glossy so there wasn't really any need to apply a top coat, it has an amazing drying time is opaque in three coats and perfect for those girls who are rocking nubbins. This one will definitely be one of my favourite go-to's.

Essie: Decadent Diva.



This metallic maroon polish contains an additional fine copper glitter that shows up spectacularly in the sun. It is slightly sheer but can become opaque if you apply a decent number of coats which is easy because of the thin formula. The copper sheen is clearer than can be seen once applied to the nail. This polish is another one that you could seriously rock if your nails tend to be on the short side (like mine lol!).

That's all for now so keep your eyes peeled for the next instalment!
