It is a textured polish, a sandy glitter type. Unfortunately I needed 3-4 coats of this, but thankfully it dried really quickly! I love it, it looks like jewels on my nails, and lasted a good 5 days. Definitely a hit for me! ]]> Fri, 03 Oct 2014 11:55:12 +0000 https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-effects-nail-polish-in-party-in-a-bottle/discussions/16545/ https://beautybulletinnew.m-staging.co.za/essence-effects-nail-polish-in-party-in-a-bottle/discussions/16545/ I am in love with Essence's new range of effect nail polish! I only have two colours now, but am slowly building up to the whole collection :) Party in a bottle is a aqua glitter polish with tiny glitters and bigger glitters for a full 3d effect. Essence recommends 2 coats, but I find that 3 coats gave better coverage. For best results, you need to dab the polish on rather than use normal paint strokes so that the glitter gives the best coverage. It does take longer to dry, so make sure you have at least an hour free for painting! In terms of lasting power, I have had it on for 4 days with no top coat, and there are no chips at all, so I am pretty impressed. When it comes to removal, as with all glitter polishes, it is quite difficult, but it looks so good that I don't mind! I have taken two swatches - one inside and one outside so you can see the difference in sparkle and colour :) Pros: - Price - Gorgeous, fun colour - Great staying power with no chips for 4 days Cons: - Difficult to remove - Takes a while to dry This will be a staple in my nail polish collection - I just adore the colour! ]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:07:47 +0000
