Essie Chinchilly Nail Varnish

Essie Chinchilly nail varnish has been on my wishlist for a while. I have a *thing* for grey polish. I don’t know what it is about it that I like so much: it’s classy but interesting, simple but eye-catching… if I’m feeling uninspired and stood staring at my collection, I will inevitably go for a grey.

And this is a really lovely grey. It’s almost lavender-toned in certain lights and looks soft (am I the only one who thinks that?). I’ve described greys as ‘dove grey’ before, but I think this is the truest representation of that description that I’ve seen.

This took two coats of polish and is topped with Seche Vite.

You can buy this classic polish HERE.

This vampy beauty is the namesake of the 2012 Essie ‘Stylenomics’ collection. It is a lovely dark green with a little hint of grey. It is interesting enough to make it look less goth-like, but dark enough to still be statement. In the bottle it looks slightly uninspiring but has been a nice change from the super dark reds I usually go for when I want something dramatic.

This was perfect coverage in 2 coats, and topped with Seche Vite.

You can buy it HERE. I’ve also reviewed Recessionista and Head Mistress from the Stylenomics collection, both of which are lovely.

Essie Lapis Of Luxury Review

Essie Lapis of Luxury

This beautiful polish has been on my wish list for a while and I finally bought it in my Dubai holiday haul. And I am not disappointed.

essie Lapis of Luxury is a cornflower blue that has a slight lilac tone to it that makes it really flattering and pretty. In the bottle it looks fairly boring and standard, but when on the nails it comes into its own.

Yellow polishes are usually either gorgeous or garish. This OPI nail varnish is a lovely blend of the two – gorgeously garish, if you will! This is one of my Dubai holiday haul purchases and as soon as I saw it on the stand I knew that I needed it. I think the sun and heat over there had me craving some stand out colours and this is definitely ticking that box! This is so incredibly bright that it immediately makes me happy as soon as I put it on. Do you have a polish like that in your collection?

Model’s Own ‘Utopia’

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how beautiful Model’s Own ‘Utopia’ is? MY GOD. I originally bought this polish when Model’s Own were having their amazing sale months ago (you need to watch out for those as you can get some serious bargains) and I am really regretting not trying out this polish until now. It is so incredibly beautiful and I have wasted so much time when I could have been wearing it. *kicks self*

This is a soft, pale lilac-grey creme polish. It only needed two coats and this is topped with Seche Vite.

Jan 2016 EDIT: I have just found out from Model’s Own that this shade is now discontinued *wails*. So gutted. This is such an incredible shade and became one of my ;go-to’ colours when I couldnt decide what to wear. It went with everything and just looked really classy and chic on the nails. LUCKILY it reminds me a lot of OPI’s ‘Steady As She Rose‘, which is still available. PHEW.
