Big review! Essie – Seche Vite – Nicole Diary

It was time for a new mani! Why? Because I can! (You know what I’m talking about)
I just got a great deal on some Essie polishes and one of them was a lovely bright blue that went well with this season. Also, I just got myself a new top coat by Seche Vite, you know, the one that can be applied to wet polish, and I was very excited to try it out! Finally, I got a few lovely Nicole Diary stamping plates in the mail and that brand was new to me, so I couldn’t wait to find out if it was any good. I set down and decided to try out all these new products at ones.

Essie – Garden Variety
In the spring of 2015 Essie came out with the Flowerista collection. In this collection was a lovely blue/turquoise polish named Garden Variety and only this week I actually purchased it, together with a few other Essie polishes. Looking at the polish it is a bit of a crelly type polish that applies real smooth. In only two coats this polish was opaque. The color isn’t very special in my opinion, but it’s bright, cheerful and spring-like. It’s a great color to combine with other blues or even different colors. I thought the polish is great, but boring on its own. I’m looking forward to using this in a gradient, because it will stand out that way. One big downside to this polish: it stains like hell! When I removed this polish, my fingers where blue all over.

O.P.I. - Kiss Me On My Tulips

I promised you the review of my second bottle of O.P.I. nail polish. As a Dutch woman, a bottle of the Holland Collection is basically a must-have and I just LOVED O.P.I. Kiss Me On My Tulips!

As you might have noticed, I really like pink colors, although I don’t tend to go for the really bright pinks. Well, I can tell you, this is one bright pink color! Kiss Me On My Tulips is a crème hot pink that will brighten anyone’s day. 

Let’s put it on my nails!

Sally ‘Handsome’ Hansen

Have you seen Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy collection yet? Well, I did and I HAD to have two colors in particular. I heard a lot of good things about the formula and when I saw the colors, I fell in love with ‘Soothing Sapphire’ and ‘Slicks and Stones’. I decided to get them both and give them a try!

Soothing Sapphire
This rich blue color just spoke to me! I was looking for a cobalt/navy blue color and this was close enough. It is a crème polish but with the tiniest purple shimmer that gives it a bit of an indigo undertone. 

 

Slicks and Stones
This rich purple just jumps out to you, from the shelves. Slicks and Stones is a shimmery polish with both gold and pink shimmers. I’m obsessed with this color and I can’t stop staring at the bottle!
