Hi everyone!
So today is the time to show you the last twin-set from Essence wich is currently available in drugstores:)
Their name is Mr.Big and Carrie 
How cute is that?
I noticed that I already have some similar polishes as Mr.Big. So I made a comparison.
All the polishes are nice pinkish berry color.
Very Berry is from Jelly Baby Collection and in comparison with Mr. big it is lighter and has jelly-like look, while Mr.Big is creamy.
Very Berry from Show Your Feet Colection is almost exactly the same. It’s also creamy but just a little bit lighter tham Mr.Big – really a little.
The main difference between them is that is Mr.Big is way more pigmented than the rest. Mr.Big is opaque in one coat, but the other two need two coats for full coverage.
Here I put Mr.Big on all my nails and added a layer of Carrie
Carrie is light pink and has fuchsia square glitter mixed in clear base. There is also tiny berry glitter in it.
Here is the finish look.
Essence – Mr.Big and Carrie:
So what do you think?

Hi!
Yesterday I promissed, that I will swatch Bonnie & Clyde from Essence
So here they are! 
Bonnie is creme teal polish. Is more teal green than blue. I think this is the
first teal polish in my collection First impression: I like it 
Is really well pigmented so it’s opaque with one coat.
Essence Bonnie:
Where is Bonnie, there is also Clyde
Clyde is turqoise glitter and holo squares mixed in clear base.
Essence Bonnie & Clyde:
I have great news for you My friend Gani found Mr. Big and Carrie for me!! She is so nice
I will get them tomorrow.
Until then, have a great time! =)

In the previous post Elizabeth asked me:

The result was so beautifull… take a look yourself
Thelma and Victory:
Here is the picture of Victory in the bottle:

Yaaay! Today I got another polish twin-set Bonnie & Clyde, but I will swatch them tomorrow.
I really like the idea on how the Essence named these polishes – after famous pairs
Another twin-set is named Mr. Big & Carrie. I also got Carrie today but I droped it by mistake and the bottle broke 
The polish was everywhere! Even on the walls :S
But I’m still optimistic that I will get Carrie again and find Mr. Big somewhere

Nail polishes from Essence Be A Nail Artist collection are really great. There are three pairs
of twins – each pair has a base and a transparent glitter topper which goes well with the base. Two of the bases are creamy and the third is
shimmer that has just a little bit of frost finish.
The formula is awsome! They are well pigmented, and the application is verry smooth.
I liked all the base colors, but when I added glitter toppers I was blown away!
Yes, I like glitter
****
Thelma & Louise: this pair I like the most. The finish result is just stunning.
Thelma is really, really dark eggplant creme purple shade. It’s opaque in two coats.
Louise is clear base with little light pink glitter and there are also bigger light pink and
pink squares mixed in it.
****
Romeo & Juliet: oh I’m in love with this book and the twin-set polises are also nice. But I think there is
no polish that can match the love of Romeo and Juliet
Romeo is dark grey color with tiny silver shimmer. I like darker shades of grey so this is perfect.
It’s a little bit frosty, but really just a little. It’s opaque in one coat!
Juliet is clear base with little holo glitter and bigger square holo glitter.
****
Joe & Victory: a gorgeous base color and the glitter topper is also nice. The ending
result is verry pretty.
Joe is beautifull red based purple shade on the warm side. Here are two coats.
Victory is clear base with lavender holo glitter and squares mixed in it.

Wich twin set is your favourite? Mine is definitley Thelma & Luise
Have a nice time! Thank you for reading
Hi ladies!
I’m so happy! I got the stuff from new Essence Trend Edition Collection!
The collection is called “Be A Nail Artist“.
There’s tons of stuff for nail art. I will show you everything I got
****
So I will start wit a nail art glitter mix wheels
There are three of them. In every wheel there are different shapes of glitter: flowers, dots, tears,
hearts, stars…
- Glam It Up! has blue, green and turqoise glitter
- Style It Up! has white glitter with rainbow reflection. One of the stars in this wheel are silver/holo.
- Check It Out! has red, orange, yellow and lavender glitter.
****
In this collection there are even more glitter shapes and colors! These are in individual jars.
-Glitter Star! are the silver/holo stars, the same are in one of the mix glitter wheel.
-Glitter It! are the light pink hexagon glitter, with rainbow reflection.
-Have Fun! are the duochrome green/purple glitter in the circle shape with a hole in the middle.
-Style It Up! are the heart shaped violet glitter with some holo effect.
****
There is another thing in the jar I like this the most.
Cutie Fruity jar has fruit shaped designs made from fimo polymer clay. I can’t wait
to see them on my nails
****
I was playing with glitter and I noticed that I need longer nails for this kind of
stuff I wouldn’t wear them like that, I just wanted to show you what the glitter looks like
So here is the picture of my “Nail Art”:
****
Another great stuff in this collection are the Nail Art Pens. They are just like
real pens, but they leave the polish behind instead of ink
I have them in three colors: silver white, black and jucy orange
Here is another useful thing for nail art – freestyle & tip painters. These are the polishes
with very thin and long brush so you can draw anything on your nails. They comes in three shades:
-Silver Surfer
-Pink!
-Purple Magic
Picture of the brush:
Here is my attempt of the nail art 
I’m not proud of it, but this was my first time
that I tried to draw something on my nails

In this collection I was the most excided about the nail polish twins!
I have three of twin-sets, but there are more which I dont have (yet)
I will swatch them in my next post
See you soon!
Hello girls!
My nails today are in light and natural color
This polish is from Essence an the shade is called Be-bop-a-lula.
It looks creamy and milky. After I aplied the second coat it was still streaky, but
the third layer hid all imperfections.
Essence Be-bop-a-lula:
I added Essence Ornament sticker to the ring finger:
I will show you another flower This is Daffodil – ‘Narcisa’ in Slovenian
Have a nice day! -Lyra*
When I first saw this collection, my first tought was: “Finaly a collection I don’t have to buy because I don’t really like it that much!”
A few days ago I was in the drugstore and I saw the entire collection on the shelve and.. I changed my mind. I bought all the polishes
So here are the bottles of Fashionista Trend Edition:
The bottles don’t look all that special, but the colors look promissing to me.
***
So Glamorous: is medium cool cherry red. It’s just so beautiful! Another red
polish that goes great with my skin tone. It look even better than Divalicious Red.
VIP Appeal: pink color, deffinitley on the warm side. There is a little bit of coral inside.
It’s creamy and glossy.
Sundancer: Verry bright warm yellow. This one screams for Konad
Break Trough: cream magneta purple color. It reminds me of another Essence polish ‘Dress to Party’,
except this one doesn’t have shimmer in it.
I’m glad that I bought that collection, beacuse the colors are nice and the application was flawless.
Have a nice day!

I shortened my nails. I don’t know why, normally I like them long
So I decided to paint them with some red polish. I chose Essence Divalicious Red
from Show Your Feet collection.
And OMG! This red polish goes perfect with my skin tone!
I love it!
It’s cream medium blue based red color that has no yellow/orange tone in it.
The coverage is very good, and it aplies like butter.
Look at this beauty!
And my favourite spring flower. It’s not actualy a flower is more bush like,
but I really like it when it blooms This is Forsythia. In Slovenia we call it
‘forzicija’. I don’t know why this yellow thing is so special to me
Look how beautifull it looks with the blue sky in the background and just one little cloud
Don’t you just love it? I do
