[Get The Look] My Essence Cosmetics Obsession

Hi Huneybees,

I have been neglecting this section, but I wana mention my recent nail polish obsession - Essence Cosmetics. The products are from UK and it is pretty cheap. So imagine me at Watsons Ngee Ann City whenever I'm there!

This is their latest "Colour & Go" nail polishes which dries fast, shines brightly and looks perfect with the newly improved quick & easy brush

The interesting thing is that they will have their usual staple products and collections as well. Some of you might say, it's so cheap, what about the quality? 

All I can say, the products are nothing shy of the bigger brands of cosmetics out there....

Check out my recent purchases and swatches....

The Fruity collection.

My favourite so far - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs collection.

Every small nail polish is named after the individual dwarfs.

There's even a Snow White themed nail stickers and nail file!

And lastly was my recent buy.

It's more of effect nail polishes like glitter, crack and magnetic.

I'm not a fan of the magnet as it dies not create very distinctive patterns. The one below, I created with another brand's magnet.

[Get The Look] Etude House Crack Nail Colour

Hi Huneybees,

There's been so much hype about crack/shatter nail polishes ever since O.P.I. introduced theirs with the Katy Perry collection. Recently I spotted Etude Houses has also launched their own crack nail polish. Just 2 colours, blue and black.

I only got the blue one as I have already gotten the black from O.P.I.. I love how the blue cracks almost immediately as it touches another nail colour. *Note: Crack only works when you have already applied a base colour. Does not work on plain nails*

The nail polish works very simple. Just apply any nail colour as base and my suggestion for blue would be using pastel colours, or contrasting colours like yellow, orange and just plain beige for the blue to stand out. I used a matt pearly white a base for this example and applied one coat of the blue crack nail polish for this effect.

I don't really remember how much I paid for the nail polish, but if I'm not wrong it's SGD$11.90, a fraction of O.P.I's price! The only thing is that they should produce more colours right?
