Waiting List at Illamasqua for the Pastel Nails Collection for Spring 2010

Published on January 27, 2010 in Beauty. 3 Comments Tags: 2010 Spring Collection, Illamasqua, nail polish, nail polish collection.

Yes, that’s right! Seems like everyone is falling in love with the Pastel Nails from Illamasqua. The new collection for Spring 2010 that contains 4 new pastel shades varnishes seems to be a real hit for Illamasqua.

They predict a sell out for this Spring collection and that’s why they’ve taken and extra site at Selfridges Oxford St on 21st January.

Even though these colors are waited online and in store from March, Illamasqua registered a “phenomenal demand both online and in store” so they’ve come up with a waiting list that has debuted at Selfridges Oxford St on 21 January.

These 4 new pastel colors are absolutely gorgeous and I can understand why everyone is trying to bring home at least one bottle (if not the entire Pastel Nails collection) from this Spring collection.

The shades are:

Wink – a lovely lavender lilac for the girls and guys who love their nails ultra pretty and feminine.
Nudge – a lovely mint ice cream shade.
Caress – a beautiful cornflower blue that is delectable hybrid of blue and grey. Very unique.
Blow – Think of the yummiest lemon sorbet you’ve ever had. We’ve bottled it.

Which one is your favorite? I would buy the entire collection if it was up to me but my favorite color is Wink.

I’m happy that I’ve finished reviewing the entire Essie Fall 2009 collection nail polishes so before I give you the full list let me tell you a few words.

Essie Fall Collection nail polish Round Up: Essie Nail Polishes Reviews, Photos and Swatches

I’ve really enjoyed wearing some of these colors, although they are not among my favorites and my usual nail polish style but trying something different was fun.

Two of these nail polishes really impressed me, with their vibrant color and chip resistant properties, but I will let you guys to discover them from the following reviews.

I was not pleased by some of these nail polishes’ textures, because even after I’ve applied 2 coats the result look unfinished. It didn’t seemed to me that matte bright colors are such a great idea after all.

So, here it is, Essie Round-Up:

Review: Essie Angora Cardi Nail polish + Swatches

Published on January 4, 2010 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: 2009 Fall Collections, chic review, Essie, nail polish, nail polish review.

Essie Angora Cardi is one of my favorites nail polishes from Essie Fall 2009 collection right after the Midnight Cami nail polish.

Angora Cardi without Top Coat – no flash

Angora Cardi it’s a deep dusty rose shade perfect for those who want a different shade of pink. It’s a silky smooth nail polish that glides gently on your nails making it easy to apply.

After I’ve applied the second layer of polish, the color became opaque and with a gorgeous finish. No lines, no imperfections and with a natural shine, this one is a jewel that you can add to your other nail polishes.

Review: Essie Chinchilly Nail Polish + Swatches

Published on January 4, 2010 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: 2009 Fall Collections, chic review, Essie, nail polish, nail polish review.

Essie Chinchilly is a chic and versatile sleek granite grey color. I don’t know if you are into these neutral shades but I would prefer something darker and a little bit vibrant.

Essie Chinchilly nail polish Review: Essie Chinchilly Nail Polish + Swatches

Chinchilly without Top Coat – no flash

My skin is kind of white and this color looks really dull on my nails. The texture is different, silky, smooth and easy to apply. I didn’t had any problems after I’ve applied the first layer of Chinchilly, it didn’t leave any lines behind.

If you want the color to last longer, make sure to apply a layer of top coat. I’ve been wearing this nail polish for about 4 days and it lasted OK so far, but I’m sure that if I would have applied the top coat I could have seen better results now.

Chinchilly without Top Coat – no flash

Chinchilly comes in a 15 ml bottle and costs about $9.00. It was really a common color among the Fall 2009 Collections but I’m not a fan of this color. It said to be chip resistant but you can see if it’s true or not from the photos bellow. Continue reading ‘Review: Essie Chinchilly Nail Polish + Swatches’

Review: Essie Bright Tights – Photos + Swatches

Published on January 4, 2010 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: 2009 Fall Collections, chic review, Essie, nail polish, nail polish review.

Let’s turn our attention to a brighter color!

Essie Bright Tights is the kind of nail polish that when you decide to wear it you must be sure that anyone will look at you, so a perfect manicure is required. All the time people were looking at my nails, so it’s kind of interesting to see they can’t take their eyes of my nails.

Essie Bright Tights Review: Essie Bright Tights Photos + Swatches

Bright Tights – no flash

Bright Tights it’s a vibrant neon orange color with a mattifying effect. I’m not so into bright and strong colors like this one but if brought me a happy spirit while I was wearing it and I have to admit I was in a better mood only when I looked at my nails.

The Bright Tights comes in a 15 ml bottle and costs about $9.00.

I’ve applied 2 layers of this mattifying color but I was not pleased with the final result. The texture is very light, almost watery and transparent. After I’ve applied the first layer, I’ve noticed only lines, the color is not very pigmented and the result after the first step was terrible. When I saw this bright color in the bottle I didn’t expect it to be so transparent on my nails.

Bright Tights – no flash – No Top Coat

Definitely a second layer was requested. The final result was definitely improved as you can see from the photos but the polish was not evenly spread so in some parts I can still see through the nail polish. I couldn’t uniformed it as hard as I tried so I was hopping that after it dries it should look better. Continue reading ‘Review: Essie Bright Tights – Photos + Swatches’

Review: Essie Midnight Cami – Photos + Swatches

Hello Ladies!

After so many reviews regarding lip products I decided to make a change and post more about nail polishes. I’m planning to review 4 more Essie nail polishes and as soon as I finished that I will post a Round-Up with all of them.

Today’s Star is going to be Essie Midnight Cami a beautiful dark blue color. Just like the name suggests this nail polish resemblance the midnight sky. I’m into dark nail polishes but before this one I’ve never tried blue colors (I don’t even use blue eyeshadows).

Essie Midnight Cami flash Review: Essie Midnight Cami Photos + Swatches

Midnight Cami – without top coat – with flash

I bought this nail polish a couple of month ago from a beauty products exposition and I payed $9.00 for this 15 ml bottle.

Midnight Cami has a little bit of shimmer inside, very thin particles that make the polish shine on your nails. Applying a top coat is only optional, because I didn’t see any difference once I’ve applied the top coat on my right hand fingers.

The difference will be seen only after a few days and if you will keep reading and look and the photos you will understand what I’m talking about. Continue reading ‘Review: Essie Midnight Cami – Photos + Swatches’
