Nail Junkie

Hi everyone!

The new trend edition from Essence is on the horizon! It will be available on the shelves from December 2010 and it’s called Fairytale. As you can imagine this collection sparkles a lot In the collection there are as usual the nail polishes, eye shadows, lip glosses and eyeliners. I made some swaches of polishes, lip glosses and eyeliners I have to say that I really like the design on the packaging – fairies, butterflies and flowers.

******

POLISHES: there are six polishes in this collection. Polishes are sparkling and they have shimmery foil-like finish. When I saw the promo picture I wasn’t exited about any shade. They just didn’t seem special but when I tried them on, I liked at least three of them. The formula is ok, I didn’t have any problems with application.

Fairy Berry: is a warm toned purple color with a lot of silver shimmer, which gives the polish that foil finish. Two coats are needed for full coverage. On the index finger is Essence Bubble Bubble from Into The Ocean TE.

Humpty Dumpty: this one is one of my favorites. It’s gray color with splash of purple and with loads of silver shimmer. I love it! It takes two coats for full coverage.

Once Upon A Time: this one is the only one that doesn’t have a foil-like finish. It’s medium red jelly base with red and gold glitter that give the polish a lot of depth. It’s similar to China Glaze Ruby Pumps but it’s not a dupe. It’s opaque in two coats.

Pixie Dust: nude color with hint of pink and a lot of silver shimmer. It’s nice, subtle polish which is opaque in three coats.

Tinka’s Dress: peachy orange color with silver shimmer. Another nice and soft shade which is opaque in three coats.

Welcome To The Wonderland: is a light lavender color with a lot of silver shimmer. I like this one on my nails. Needs three coats for full coverage.

******

LIP GLOSSES: there are three lip glosses in Fairytale collection.
Fairy berry: light purple base with purple shimmer
Once Upon a time: red jelly color
Pixie Dust: clear base with multicolor shimmer

   Humpty Dumpty sure looks good! I love Hard Candy Mr. Wrong and was hoping to find something similar with a hint of purple, and this might just be it! I hope these will be available soon in eBay or somewhere I can order online.

    Videla v živo in me kolekcija sploh ni prepričala. Kupila sem le rdeč lak in en eyeliner. Po tvojih swatchih sodeč, sem se pravilno odločila. Zanima me le še, kako izgledajo senčila.

    Once Upon A Time looks cute, but others I really do not like. It shows that foil finish is not among my preferred ones.
    Great swatches though.

    the nailpolishes are amazing and I like the fairy berry lipgloss
    I’m not the biggest fan of the eyeliners but that’s just personal taste I guess haha!

    btw I really love your website!
