Essie Minimalistic
I'll admit that, with my new job, conservative is the way to go. So I am digging out all of my neutrals and - just quietly - I'm falling in love with them all over again.
Essie Wrapped in Rubies
The concept is nail perfection. Take a red and add swathes of gold through it to make it resemble velvet. The execution of these types of lacquers though is problematic.The gold rarely shines through, always leaving you with a sense of disappointment. Just to see if Wrapped in Rubies delighted or disappointed.
Essie Wife Goes On + Ap...
Today, I’m launching a new Giveaway, thanks to the lovely people at Apothica. In honour of the Giveaway, I’m revisiting an Essie-ntial today. See how clever I am. I just Brangelina’d ‘Essie’ and ‘Essential’ to create a whole new word. Wife Goes On is classic Essie...

I am so late to this little party that I’m pretty sure it has ended and someone has befouled the garden beds. But let’s go there anyway. Essie’s Resort Collection for Summer 2010 consists of four elegant summer colours. This collection is a complete...

Hey There, Wait A Minut...
I paid a visit to Ottoman 3 Nail and Brow Bar on Monday and, whilst there, spotted Essie’s Mesmerize. My god, why was I not told there was a blue Essie. I literally spotted it 50 metres away and practically sprinted to grab it. I was like one of those crazed people you...
Essie – Wife Goes...
I’m a total sucker for creamy Raspberry hues, so it’s no surprise that Essie’s Wife Goes On is a favourite of mine. This is such a beautiful lacquer. Unlike so many Essies, this is pretty much opaque in one coat (although the swatch here is two, just because...
