OMG! OMG! I got the whole new Essence Trend Edition – Eclipse. It is inspired by the latest movie of Twilight Saga Eclipse. I was so excited when I heard that essence came out with an entire collection about it. And of course like a true Twilight fan I had to have it. I have to warn you, that this post is pic heavy.
Eclipse Trend Edition:
*****
POLISHES: there are five shades in this collection.
Undead?: is jelly black base with purple glitter mixed in it. I was a little afraid that the glitter won’t be seen on the nails, but it’s not like that. I can’t tell you how much I love this shade. It needs two coats for full coverage.
Thrsty?: is a really dark jelly red shade. It’s like blood. I love it! There are also two coats.
Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me: is medium berry shade with purple shimmer in it. It’s opaque in two coats.
Hide Bella Hide: is frosty metallic silver shade. I was expecting trouble with application, but it was easy. It needs also two coats.
Ready To be Bitten?: hell yes I’m ready! 
I’m joking a little bit. This shade is also nice. It’s sheer nude shade with rose undertone, but it is shimmer that is special. It looks like it has melted glass in it. Lovely color. This one needs three coats for full coverage.
*****
LIP-GLOSSES: There are four lip-glosses in this collection. I just swatched three of them on my lips, the black one however doesn’t look interesting on the lips.
Don’t Bite Me – Kiss Me lip-gloss: is nice light purple shade with pink, blue and silver slitter mixed in it. Glitter is not too big, so you can’t feel it on the lips.
Ready To Be Bitten lip-gloss: this one is really nice. Clear base with loads of silver, blue and pink glitter in it. It makes your lips sparkle.
Lunch At Cullen’s: oh I love the name! And the gloss it’s also beautiful. It’s like China Glaze Ruby Pumps on the lips. Red jelly base with a lot of red glitter mixed in it. My lips are not made for red color, I should use a lip-liner.
*****
DUO EYESHADOWS: there are three duo eye-shadows in this collection. I didn’t swatch them, I just took a close up picture of them. The colors look nice, but I hear that they are hard. So the base or the wet application is necessary. I also love the naming of them 
DIAMOND POWDER: it’s called Too Beautiful To Be True. It’s most silver, but you can also find some gold shimmer in it. This one is perfect if you want your skin to look like Edward on sunlight. You can use it on body or face. This one is also recommended to apply wet. I will save this one for New Year’s Eve.
So, this is it. What do you think about this collection?
Have a nice Twilight day! Lyra*
Hi!!
Yaaaay!! I have a new Essence Trend Edition collection. It’s called Into The Wild. You can find polishes, lip-glosses, eye-shadows, bronzing powder and jumbo eye-pencils in it. Look at all this stuff:
*****
POLISHES: in collection are four polishes.
Desert Fox is warm brown shade with gray undertone. The application was OK, and I applied two coats. If I was more careful, one would be enough. 
Zulu is my favorite. It’s gray color with a hint of lavender. This one should be matte, but the matte effect is not so strong. It’s more plastic like looking. Anyway I like glossy look more than matte so it doesn’t bother me. I applied two coats.
Heart Chakra is my second favorite. It is nice mixture between coral and rose shade, so under some lights is more rosy and on the other is more coral looking. It needs two coats for full coverage.
Bongo Drums is neutral milky shade. This one is not well pigmented. After the first layer it looks like it’s almost clear. On the pictures are three layers, but the white tips are still visible. It’s also quite streaky. 
*****
LIP-GLOSSES: the collection has three different shades of lip-glosses. Essence usually disappoints me with their glosses, because they are not well pigmented, but this time I was pleasantly surprised. They are good pigmented and the colors are also nice. One is jelly looking and the other two have shimmer in them.
Here I made swatches on my arm:
Heart Chakra is nice jelly rose shade, with coral undertones. This is my favorite.
Beat the Heat is shimmering golden color. Nice, but it doesn’t suit me at all.
40 Degree is golden brown shade with silver and red shimmer mixed in it.
How do you like this collection?
Have a nice day! -Lyra
Today I have for you another polish from Essence. It’s called Naked Truth and it’s from Pure Beauty Collection. This collection was avalible last year.
Naked truth is beautiful almost white shade with pink tone in it. The finish is shimmery/pearly. The aplication was good, and it’s not streaky at all It’s opaque in two coats.
Essence Naked Truth:
My hand was shaking because I was tired and haven’t slept much last night, so no Konad for me today 
So I tried something new.
These are nail art designs from Essence. Basically they are stickers with indented shapes. You stick them on your nails and paint over with whichever polish you want. Then you remove the sticker and you are left with a nice design. I got just two types for now – the flowers and the butterflies. The butterfly is made with Essence Go Wild polish. I spiced it up with flower-glitter and silver polish
I like this kind of nail art, beacuse it’s really easy and you don’t need a steady hand to do it. But you have to be sure that the base color is really dry, beacuse when you remove the sticker it may pull off the base polish as well
Have a great time! – Lyra
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*
Cookies & Cream je prelep cream nude oddtenek, zelo nevtralne barve. V sebi ima
malenkost sive in rjave. Spominja me na belo kavo
Nanaša se zelo lepo, prekriven je v 2 slojih.
*Cookies & Cream is beautifull cream neutral nude polish, with hint of grey and
light brown. It reminds me of white coffee
It applies wonderfully and It’s opaque in two coats.
Ciate-Cookies&Cream:
In še dodatek Konad vzorčka iz plate m79, z S-he-466 lakom.
*I added the Konad pattern from image plate m79, with S-he-466 polish:
Tokrat sem čez bele konice nanesla dva sloja laka Sinful Colors
Hidden Nature, ki je mlečno nude lak, slabo prekriven in je super
za francosko manikuro.
Sinful Colors-Hidden Nature:
Nato sem čez dolgočasno francosko nanesla eno plast Gosh lakca ki se
imenuje Rainbow. Ta lak sem dobila od Goge Hvala!
Rainbov so mavrične krpice v mlečni osnovi, prevladuje oranžna barva.
Sinful Colors-Hidden Nature + Gosh-Rainbow:
Vse skupaj sem še okrasila z Konad vzorčkom, ki sem ga našla na plati m40.
Uporabila pa sem oranžen lak Essence-Ayada iz Ethno Cuture kolekcije, ki sem
ga prav tako dobila od Goge
Fiodora je nude lakec z roza podtonim in z ogromno srebrno-perlastega shimmra.
Je slabo prekriven in potrebuje kar 3 sloje.
Nanos pri tem laku je bil dokaj težaven, saj je gostejši in bolj lepljiv,
kot sem navajena pri ostalih Sinful Colors lakih.
Po nanosu je lak kar kričal po Konadu, ampak preden sem prišla do te
stopnje sem si lak že poškodovala
Sinful Colors – Fiodora:
Predstavljam vam še en Chona Glaze holo lakec. Tale se imenuje
FYI.
Gre za sivkasto bež holografski oddtenek, ki pa svojo mavrico
pokaže le na močnejši svetlobi, drugače je bolj slabše vidna.
Tale je bolj primeren za sončne dneve, ker brez holo efekta je meni
preveč dolgočasen.
Pri tem laku sem imela nekaj težav z nanosom, saj je izjemno redek in
tekoč. Če sem imela na čopiču preveč laka, mi je kar stekel pod noht in
obnohtno kožico, zato sem morala delat res tanke sloje. Na slikah sta 2
plasti.
Pozitivna stran tega laka pa je, da se je izjemno hitro posušil.
China Glaze-FYI:
Danes vam bom predstavila 2 Essie laka.
Prvi je Essie-Pinking up the pieces, drugi pa Essie-Pretty in pink.
Pinking up the pieces je nežen roza lakec, z vijoličnim odsevom. Je zelo
slabo prekriven in je zato bolj primeren za čez francosko manikuro.
Da sem dosegla takšno prekrivnost sem potrebovala 4 sloje. Kjub temu plast
laka ni debela.
Ampak barva tega lakca je lepa zato se splača
Essie-Pinking up the pieces:
Pretty in pink je polprekriven lak, mlečnega oddtenka z zelo malo roza pridiha.
Po dveh slojih je prekrivnos že dosežena, ampak je še vedno progast, zato je tretji
sloj obvezen.
Če ste ljubiteljice nude lakov je tale zelo lep
Essie-Pretty in pink:
Tale lakec spada v LE kolekcijo Cremylicious. Iskala sem ga po vseh drogerijah
in ga nikjer ni bilo (zato je bila moja želja po njem še večja )
Na mojo srečo mi ga je podarila soforumašica Goga – hvala še 1x!
Ko sem ga dobila sem bila navdušena, ampak nekako ni prišel takoj na vrsto.
Včeraj pa se mi je zluštalo da bi imela bolj nude barvo zato sem ga potegnila
na plano
Essence-Iced Chai Latte … gre za prelep nude lakec z finim srebrnim shimmrom.
Najbolj mi je všeč ker je zelo prekrivnost, kar ponavadi ni lasnost nude
oddtenkov. 1 sloj je skoraj popolnoma dovolj ampak sem raje nanesla 2
Z nanašanjem pa sem imela kar težave, saj je zelo gost.
Tako izgleda čudovitko na nohtih:
Dodala sem še čipkast vzorček iz Konad plate m71, ki spominja na samostoječe
nogavice hehe
Uporabljen lakec pa je china Glaze-Awaken
