Essence Ice Ice Baby + More than Words and Color Club Miss Bliss

I liked the combi of Essence Ice Ice Baby and Essence More than Words from my previous mani hence decided to do a full set with them this time. Also, had an urge to use the holo polishes from Color Club Halo Hues (which I have neglected after the first usages, oops), so sponged on Miss Bliss on the tips. Love the final look and makes me wanna bring out my holo polishes out again :)

Essie First Timer and Essence Ice Ice Baby with pearls

The first thing I wanna state is that the color of Essie First Timer is not accurate as the white lines and the green took on a yellowish tinge after I applied my Poshe top coat :(

I have 2 coats of Essie First Timer on all fingers except for my ring finger which has 3 coats of Essence Ice Ice Baby and a coat of More than Words from the Hugs & Kisses collection.

Barry M Lychee and flowers

Have always wanted to try out the multi-colored flowers since seeing it on others on Bloglovin (credit to Mr.Candiipants) and here it is :)

Base is 2 coats of Barry M Lychee, a nude that is luckily not a dupe of the rest of the nudes that I have. The consistency is a little thick, but also means 2 coats are sufficient. On a side note, it is not really aptly named as a jelly polish would be more appropriate for lychee :p

Essie Come Here! and Etude House PBK803

Base is Essie Come Here!, a bright red shade with orange undertones, and for the ring finger, I drew some random white flowers with black dots. I was too lazy to do it for all fingers :p so I decided to tie in the black and white accent with Etude house PBK803, a black/white/pink hex+bar glitter.

Below is plain swatch of Essie Come Here! (2 coats). I don't normally wear reds but this is a great color for summer :)

Thanks for viewing!

Essence Prom-berry and Hugs & Kisses Crazy in Love

Managed to snag Essence Crazy in Love from the Hugs & Kisses collection and I'm glad as it is very pretty :) It has light purple glitter and silver/holographic hearts. The glitter is pretty dense so no issue with it (above is 1 coat). For the hearts, I had to fish for them but it wasn't too difficult.

You might notice that my cuticles area is messier than usual and that's cos I applied my Poshe top coat slightly beneath the base polish and it shrunk from that point, breaking up the polish as well as you can see from my index finger and pinky o(>< )o (you don't see it on my middle and ring fingers as I had scraped it away). Perhaps I have to flood my cuticles a bit when I apply Poshe next time....sigh....

Anyway, before I end this post, here is a plain swatch of Essence Prom-berry, a deep purple that is not distinctly shimmery, yet not a flat creme. It applies very smoothly and this is only 1 coat! Didn't expect to like it as much as I do but it is really gorgeous :)

Thanks for viewing!
