Essence Lights of Orient | Swatches | Review
Saturday, July 23, 2016After days upon days of HTML setup, a blog post follows. Glad to be done with all the HTML, the codes almost broke my brain. Not that I coded everything myself, but...lots of googling for solutions and late night tea sessions...
This collection features 4 shades inspired by the orient. I got all of the nail polishes for €7.96 (€1.99ea.) which is quite a good deal.
The first thing that i'd like to mention is the brush. It is pretty wide, very simmilar to OPI brushes. Personally, I really enjoy this kind of brush, it makes the application process as easy as it can be.
Golden gate to orient is a pale gold metallic/chrome polish. As it is with most of chrome polishes, this one makes noticeable brush strokes. Opaque in 2 coatsSunny shot. I think it looks absoulutely gorgeous in sunlight.
The sultan's daughter is a nude with a pink undertone. I was really surprised to find out that this
polish is a one coater. Plus, the formulation is just perfect. The consistency is perfect, no brush strokes. This is a definite must have for those who love nude nail polish.
Princess Jasmines Choice is a purple with light colored shimmer. Not really a fan of this one. It has a really odd formula - if you go over the same spot twice, it becomes really thick and ridged no matter how thin or thick the coat is, applying this one can be a struggle. Opaque in 2 coats.
Belly Dancing Queen is a gorgeous oxblood shade. Its almost a one coater. The formula is pretty good, its very easy to apply, no brush strokes at all.
On a side note, i wore the shade 01 for a few days (no top coat) to test the durability. Four days later, all i saw was some minor chipping on my index and thumb nails. I think thats quite impressive for a nail polish that cheap, at least on my nails.
Do you own any of these nail polishes? Do you plan on getting any? Let me know in the comments below!
