NOTD | That's What I Mint by Essence

Hello my loves!

In today's post I am going to be showing you my current nail colour! I don't know if you've noticed, but lately i've been posting a bit more on this blog! This is mainly because my computer has broken, and I am unable to upload any YouTube videos. I hope you're liking my more regular blog posts!

Anyway, onto my NOTD! The nail polish I am currently wearing is the Essence Colour & Go Nail Polish in 146 'That's What I Mint'. It is the most stunning mint shade, as you may have guessed by it's name.

Even though we are currently in Winter here in Australia, and this is definitely a more Spring/Summer colour, I just couldn't resist painting my nails with this beautiful shade of mint!

This nail polish has a lovely creme formula, and was completely opaque with 2 coats. In these pictures I am also wearing the OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat.

Just wanted to also mention that these photos were taken two days after nail polish application. I find that with a base and top coat, this Essence nail polish easily lasts over 3 days without chipping.

I hope you've enjoyed this post! I'd love it if you guys left a comment telling me what is currently on your nails!

NOTD | Absolutely Blue by Essence

Hello my gorgeous readers!

Today I have a quick NOTD post for you all. I apologise for my lack of posts lately (on both my blog and youtube channel) but i've been swamped with tests and assessment tasks! Now that school is closer to ending for the year, there should be a lot more content posted soon!

The nail polish of my choice today, is another Essence Colour & Go Nailpolish. Have you caught on to my love of Essence products yet?! This one is in 125, Absolutely Blue.

This polish is a gorgeous baby blue shade, with a subtle lavender tint to it. I'm awful at describing colours, but hopefully the photos will show you what I mean! Anyway, this is a creme formula polish.

I only had to do two coats for this polish to become fully opaque. As with most of Essence's nail polishes, it has quite a thick formula (not in a bad way). 

I can't really comment on the lasting power of this polish, as i've only just applied it, but if it is like most of the other Essence nail polishes i've tried, it should last a good 3 days before starting to chip.

Hope you've enjoyed this quick post!

NOTD | Free Hugs by Essence

Hello my lovelies!

Today's post is a quick NOTD, using a lovely new nail polish that I picked up on yesterday's shopping shenanigans with Sarah. What a mouthful! Anyway, I picked up another one of my favourite nail polishes - the Essence Colour & Go Nail Polishes. This is number 106 'Free Hugs'. It's a gorgeous light pink bubblegum creme. 

As with all of the other Essence Colour & Go Nail Polishes, I absolutely love the formula of this polish. It's got a really nice opacity, and is only slightly streaky (not the polish's fault, i'm just rubbish at painting nails!).

It's coming off very dark and purple toned in the photos (due to the rubbish weather here in Sydney), but in real life its much more of a light barbie-pink shade.

I've also heard that this is a dupe for Essie's Chastity - which is great seeing as it only retails for $2.75 AUD compared to Essie's RRP of $16.95.

Anyway, I hope you've all enjoyed this quick little NOTD. 

What do you think of this polish?
