Here are the amazing colors I selected
in the Collection Spring 2012 of ESSIE : 1. Ole Caliente, 2. Navigate Her, 3. Orange its Obvious and 4. Tour de Finance. Even the names are bubbling! So highly motivated, I decided to test these nail polish. It sounds like “my first time with ESSIE”. And I must confess the result of my testing is “so-so”, not exactly what I was expected.
Let’s start with the more : I choice to apply Ole Caliente, the gorgeous red very summery… I’ve already been in a hamac in a beautiful white sand beach (lol)! Its texture pretty thick is nice, offering a dense color. One coat is enough : out of habit I put two. About the drying time, I didn’t pay much attention cause I was working on my computer.
The less : Before Ole Caliente, I applied a coat of protective base (Mavala), to protect my nails. Then two coats of the red nail polish and for ending, a coat of top coat (Mavala) to protect and to give brilliance to the nail polish . So far no worries, the color is ab fab! And I’m crazy about it (lol!), I kept the nail polish 3 days. After using my usual mild remover (Herôme) : where the nail polish was, my nails have a pink coloration. The next day I try another remover : same result, the pink coloration stays. It’s the first time using a base coat, I have this problem. And even if I can have a big crush for ESSIE colors and texture : I want to find back my natural color after a nail polish!
