As the holidays have already come and gone, I still love to wear Christmas colours. Although I think I can wear burgundy whenever I please! Ha! Anywho... I was shopping at my local Shoppers Drugmart for a nail polish so that I could paint my nails with my cousin who was hanging out with me for the night. We were looking around at all the nail polishes and I found this little-wee stand in the back full of nail polishes. I was looking at all the colours (which there weren't many of) and found this beautiful deep red colour. I then saw the price and was astonished on how cheep it was! Only $1.99? I was skeptical of the quality because it was so cheep but than opened the lid and stroked the colour onto my nail! I was in love! The colour was beautiful! I was looking around the stand a little more and found a little container containing tiny little silver beads, I also had to get them because they were only $2.50! I have tried so many brands including Essie, Sally Hanson, Revlon, Rimmel, and many others. I don't think that Essie is that something to be cracked up about. I really dislike the brush and I find it chips very easy. Not worth the $9-11 depending on where you buy it. I really do love the colours they come out with. Since I have painted my nails I have added another coat over top which gave the colour a deeper red look which I love better so I recommend two coats if you have the time and are patient. If you're not patient though I always put my nails in freezing cold water right after I paint them and this hardens them within 3-4 minutes. Yes it is painfully cold and No it does not run, or come off in the water. I definitely will be buying more colours and products from Essence!
This is what my nails ended up looking like with 1 coat of Do you speak Love? and a top coat over top.
This packaging is true to colour!
These are the tiny beads!
