Essie No Boundaries

Nothing lifts my spirits quite like bright pink polish. Essie No Boundaries is a good example of bright pink. It is a very pleasing colour, and I also like the formula - here I'm wearing just two coats. I find that it is a lovely base for nail art or glitter, since on its own it might be a bit boring, or not be everybody's cup of tea.

Essie Poor Lil Rich Girl

I'm up to my ears in studying, but there is always some time for a little nail polish! Essie Poor Lil Rich Girl is an amazing, amazing cranberry red jelly. It is also the kind of jelly I like, the kind you can build up. Here I'm wearing three coats, and the colour is deep and dark and close to the bottle shade. You can probably get away with two coats, but the colour will be really different, vibrant red. After coming across a couple of amazing Essie polishes, like this one and Bobbing For Baubles, I really want to get them for my own stash (they belong to my friend). They are that amazing!

Essie Bobbing For Baubles

I've recently started swimming again. I love swimming, but lately between lack of time and the pool being closed for reconstruction, I've fallen off the wagon a little. With all the swimming, my skin is super dry and any polish doesn't last.
Bobbing for Baubles is great. It is only the second Essie polish that I've ever try, and you can colour me impressed. Not only is it a beautiful colour, but the formula is utter perfection. This could be applied in just one coat, but given how clumsy I am, I used two coats on some nails.

Essie Funships

Today I have Essie Funships to show you. I have to admit that I don't know a whole lot about Essie's polishes. It's one of those brands that I don't have easy access to so I stick to other companies.
So Funships is a pink coral shimmer polish that has a hint of orange to it. The application wasn't too bad, though I have nothing to compare it to. It went on a bit unevenly, so it needed three coats to be opaque and more or less even, though even after that you can see the brushstrokes. The color is very interesting and the epitome of summer to me. The wear was decent as well, two days without any problems, chips or wear.
