Today I'd like to share my NOTD (nail of the day) with you. I'm updating from my phone again so I'll have to wait till I get home to fix up the photos.
Some months ago I went a bit crazy at Target and picked up a whole swag of Essence polishes. If you haven't heard of the brand before, it's a German brand that has slowly been filtering into Target and Priceline stores nationwide. They are distributed by the Heat group and I know they are slowly releasing a roll out into more stores, as you could previously only get it at selected locations.
What I love about the products is they're great quality, yet with a teeny tiny price tag. Polishes start at about $2.95 and shadows at about $5.95. If you haven't already had a look at their products, I'd suggest getting to your nearest stockist quick smart and browsing the stand, you probably won't be able to stop yourself from indulging!

I just wanted to add that I've been wearing this for about 5 days now and there is hardly any chipping or wear at the tips! As usual, this was done with base coat and top coat.
I think I'm developing a bit of an orange/tangerine obsession...if you were wondering why this looked familar, it's probably because of this post here. And, come to think of it, this does remind me of a slightly more pastel version of OPI's 'Hot and Spicy', which was my first venture into the world of orange/tangerine nails. I'm going to have to do a comparison swatch soon!
So what do YOU think? Will you be dashing down to pick up some Essence prodz?
Much love,
MM.

ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect colour for summer!
ReplyDeleteYou have amazing nails!! I did the same thing with essence! They're great quality for the price.
ReplyDeleteit looks amazing and you have really nice long nails! Everytime I attempt to grow my nails they end up breaking, annoying I tell you!
ReplyDeleteEmmabovary, thank you! You're absolutely right, it's too hard to say no to such a great price!
ReplyDeleteAmy, very true! I felt happy every time I caught a flash of these! So cheerful!
Sarah, thanks hun! Great selection of colours too!
Kerker, thank you! Aw, sorry to hear that, have you tried applying a nail hardener as you're trying to grow them out? Also try to use gloves when immersing hands in water, that really helps prevent breakage!
