Essie is another brand that unfortunately is not sold in my country and that I always wanted to try so the first night I arrived to the US I had to go to Walgreens and buy some.
I wanted something close to 'Bikini So Teeny' even though I heard it takes many coats to get a good coverage so I decided to go for 'Avenue Maintain' hoping it would not take 4 coats to look good.
I could not be more wrong with this nail polish, it is amazing! Do you see my nails there? Only two coats + top coat! You can actually get a nice coverage with only one :)
To make them look as pretty as possible I pushed my cuticles with La Roche Posay Lipikar Xerand (a hands and foot miracle), one layer of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, one layer of Sally Hansen Super Shine Top Coat and Sally Hansen Manicure Clean-Up Pen for touch ups.
What do you think of Essie nail polishes? Please tell me which shades you find problematic!
I also wanted to thank all of you as today I hit 300 followers! I'm so happy that I'll probably do a giveaway soon!

PS: I have a new blog design, hope you guys like it ! xx
Essie es otra de esas marcas que no se venden en Argnetina y que siempre quise probar. Así que la primera noche que llegué a USA me fuí derechito a la farmacia Walgreens a comprar algunos esmaltes y otras cosas.
Quería algo parecido a 'Bikini So Teeny', el famoso color celeste bebé de Essie y al mismo tiempo problemático ya que requiere al menos 3 capas para cubrir bien. Con esperanzas de no tener que usar tantas capas me fuí con 'Avenue Maintain', un azul cielo.
Qué genial es equivocarse, este esmalte es genial! Ven mis uñitas? Tomó solo dos capas + top coat para lucir así! De hecho con 1 sola se puede obtener una cobertura decente. Para que mis uñas estén más lindas usé La Roche Posay Lipikar Xerand (mi crema de manos favorita), una capa de OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, una capa de Sally Hansen Super Shine Top Coat y Sally Hansen Manicure Clean-Up Pen for limpiar los bordes de las uñas.
Qué les parece la marca Essie?
No me quiero olvidar de agradecerles a todas ya que hoy llegué a los 300 seguidores, estoy tan feliz que probablemente se venga un sorteo!

Nunca probé esa marca de esmaltes, me encanta el color.
ReplyDeleteBesos!
omg this is such a pretty color! I need this one!
ReplyDeleteAunque el color me parece un poco común, muero por probar los esmaltes de Essie... tienen tantos tonos que me volvería loca a la hora de elegir :)
ReplyDeleteYo me acuerdo que me habia traido un Essie azul HERMOSO, en esa epoca no era muy fanatica de las uñas y todo eso, aparte era mas chica. Y ahora lo extraño TANTO :( lo use hasta el hartazgo, creo que si volviera a Estados Unidos el Wallgreens quiebra de una porque me llevaria todo! jajajaja
ReplyDeleteHermoso el esmalte :)
un beso!

That's a great blue! I love Essie polishes though I only have a small number. They're $18.95 each here which is painfully, laughably overpriced (as is everything). The new layout is lovely and congrats on 300 GFC followers :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shade! Finally we can purchase Essie in the UK, we've now got stands in our local Boots, thank GOD!
ReplyDeleteI like the shade Fiji but it's a bit streaky, a pain to apply!

Hey Flo.
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from with the whole not being able to get things in certain countries :( It sucks!
I am holding an International Blog Swap though and wondered if you would be interested in joining in? You might get sent some Barry M or Essie polishes if you do as I know they're what you've been after :)

Que buen color tiene!
ReplyDeleteSaludos!
I love Essie polishes - sorry to hear that they are not readily available for you. I know what that is like, as Australia is often missing out, and new things are launched very late here, if at all!!
