NOTD - Whirled Away

I've been loving Essie Cute as A Button lately, I've been wearing it non stop. As I was going out I decided to 'jazz' it up (yes I did just say jazz it up). I hadn't used China Glaze Whirled Away in a while so decided to go with that. 

I really like the combination.

What I don't like is having to remove it. Its as hard to remove as glitter polish,

The colour underneath comes off but the actual sequin pieces don't/

To remove those, I use a nail file to buff at my nail and pick them off too.

Essie - Too Too Hot

Hey guys quick NOTD, I just want to quickly apologise for the lack of posts during the next week or so. I've just started at my new job so I'm trying to figure out a blogging schedule around my hours so please bear with me. So far its going great though, the owners are soooo lovely.

I looveeee this colour. Its the perfect red.

I'd planned on having an OOTD up this week as I was supposed to go shopping with one of my friends today but she ended up having to work today while I was off so we're going to go next week instead!

Essie - Cute As A Button

Cute As A Button is on the left in the above photo.

Living in a small town in Ireland it's almost impossible to get your hands on Essie nail polish. I'd considered ordering from Fragrance Direct before but to be honest, I didn't like any of the colours. I only had 1 other Essie polish that I'd gotten in a giveaway from a Canadian blogger.

So, you wouldn't believe how excited I was when I saw Sam McCauleys Chemist tweet that they were going to be stocking Essie in a selection of their branches, MY TOWN BEING ONE OF THEM!

The next day, I was in there like swimwear.

The minute I stood in front of the Essie stand it was like the skies opened, the sun shone down and angels started to sing 'AHHHHHHHH' (I may be exaggerating..)

I swatched 5 different colours on each nail. I was going to be good and just get one as at €9.99 they aren't cheap but of course my Mam the enabled was like '€9.99 that's not bad.. sure get two!'' So of course I ended up buying two!

As for the quality, as usual it was great, I find Essie polishes dry extremely fast! I think I'm going to pick up a base and top coat next as my current base coat is all gone and the Essence 'gel like' top coat takes forever to dry!

If you have any favourite colours let me know so I can swatch them the next day I'm at the stand!

Essie Chincilly

So a while back I won a box of goodies in a giveaway (you can see everything here) and one of the prizes was this polish from Essie. Now if I'm honest, this is probably not a colour I would pick out myself, so I'm glad Erica included this as I actually love it!
