Essie: Bachelorette Bash



Essie's "Bachelorette Bash" is a bright creamy fuchsia/magenta colour and is apart of the 25th Anniversary Collection. It applies like a dream and the end finish is very glossy and I would say it lasts a pretty long time {I can't give exact dates because I always manage to chip my nails within 24 hours D: }. Essie nail polishes have really nice colour pay off and this particular colour wasn't streaky at all. Two coats makes it opaque but I always apply three just for safety.

I bought this not long ago and I think it's a lovely colour for summer because it's so bright and it makes my hands look extremely tanned which is nice. The colour in the bottle doesn't give the shade justice because it's absolutely gorgeous on. I bought it just thinking it was another shade of pink, NONO I was wrong. It has become my ultimate favourite nail polish colour {aside from mermaid blue}.

What do you think of this colour?

Priceline Haul

A couple of weeks ago, I went on another spontaneous trip to priceline and picked up some goodies that I am rather happy about. Some products I bought were on special at the time, some were an in the moment kind of buy and some were ones that I felt that I needed. I'm not going to lie when I say I spent well over 45 minutes just standing with my basket swatching almost everything I could get my hands on.

From Left to Right: 
Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Laquer { Celestial},
Essie Nail Laquer {Sole Mate}
Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara
Essie Nail Laquer {Fishnet Stockings}
Real Techniques Blush Brush
Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Volumising Mascara
Max Factor Wild Shadow Pot {Savage Rose}
Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy {Galactic}
Essence Studio Nails Ultra Strong Nail Harder.


Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Laquer {Celestial}
It's no secret that everyone has one of these bad boys in their lipstick collection. Although all the colours are really nice, I decided on "Celestial" because I had seen some bloggers that have the same skin tones as me swatch it and I thought it looked amazing! 

Essie Nail Laquer {Sole Mate | Fishnet Stockings}
When I went to priceline not long ago, they had a sale on Essie Nail polishes 2 for $20AUD which I thought was the most amazing thing in the world. I'm not sure if that sale is still going on but is it worth giving your local priceline a quick look to see. I know its spring blah blah blah but as soon as I saw these berry toned polishes, I knew that I wanted them! Perfect for fall!

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara
A friend got this in one of her trips to priceline so I thought I would give it a go to keep my eyebrows in place! I have never even head of clear mascara until when I picked this up so I was really intrigued to try this out.

Real Techniques Blush Brush
Every beauty blogger either knows about the brushes by Real Techniques or owns most of them. Basically I needed a blush brush and this was one I knew would be good quality.

Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Volumising Mascara & Wild Shadow Pot {Savage Rose}
I can't remember exactly why I got these, but I think it was because it was a special for 2 for $20 out of the new range. Either way, I'm excited to try out both of these products.

Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy {Galactic}
First, I was drawn in by the stand that had all the different colours laying on it's side. Then the sparkles! It's exactly the type of nail colours that I would normally go for and I am extra excited to review this soon, so keep yo eyes peeled.

Essence Studio Nails Ultra Strong Nail Hardner
This was a product that I needed to get because my nails are peeling and chipping like no tomorrow. I haven't tried this out yet because I have just been wearing normal nail polishes all the time, So hopefully it does it's job.


And thats all the things that I got from Priceline a couple of weeks ago.
Has their been any products that you have seen in Priceline that have stood out to you?
Have a lovely day!

Essie Nail Polishes

Hi everyone!

I was on a shopping adventure last Tuesday and found that Priceline Pharmacy had an introductory sale on Essie nail polishes. Normally they are selling for $16.95 however the introductory price was $12.95 which I thought was a pretty good deal! Still they were a little pricy but in the spare of the moment, I felt like I needed them in my life. I'll have to try and find other drugstores that sell Essie nail polishes cheaper.

I'm sure that nearly every blogger have talked about this brand of nail polishes and I decided to try them out for myself. When I was searching for colours, I was amazed by all the different names that they had come up with because they are so imaginative and it definitely made me more interested in the brand.



{1} Marshmellow: I felt like I needed a white nail polish in my collection and the name "Marshmellow" totally won me over. Also, white is a classic colour which looks great with everything so I'm sure I will be wearing this colour in summer to complement a tan!

{2} Lilacism: Oh, this colour is so beautiful! I'm a real fan of purple and I didn't have a purple nail polish that was lilac! I think it's a good colour for spring and I'm sure that I always will wear it on my nails.

{3} Ballet Slippers: A girl can never have too many shades of pink right? I haven't tried this colour yet but I'm sure the colour will be wonderful.   

From the first stroke of one of the polishes, I knew that this brand will be one of my favourites for a long time. It was so easy to apply because I didn't need apply too many coats {I only did two coats and they were at their true colours}. I was amazed at how they dried pretty quickly with my Revlon ColourStay Top Coat and the finished look was shiny and smooth.  

What are your favourtie colours from this Essie? I would love to try out some new colours!
