Nail Crazy-My Mini Essence Haul

I dont know why BUT i have been so into nails recently specifically Nailart and Nail Stamping! (im going through a nail stamping phase)

So i went to my nearest Dischem and got myself some pretty supplies :)I ADORE Essence packaging!!

I actually dont get tempted in the Essence section but their products are so reasonably priced and the quality is awesome! So, i headed straight to the Essence section to pick up some goodies and this is what i got.



Im not exactly sure how much each of these cost but all together it was around R150 which is so affordable!!!

The stampy set is R40 and includes a scraper,stampy and a plate with a few designs.

I cant wait to try on my glitter essence polish ,its so pretty! I love glitter everything!

I was experimenting the other day with my stampy set and i am hoping to get a little better at it,im still a beginner :) Look at the mess i made....

I will def be posting pics when i do get better at Nail Stamping,its such fun to do!

Have a gorgeous day all!

What a breath of fresh air.
Essie products are so gorgeous!The one i am going review today is called "French Affair"

‘French Affair’ is an pale girly pink with cool undertones and a cream finish.This is a stunning nail polish.To be honest ,in the bottle ,the color did not excite me.After i saw my mums nails,i decided to give it a try because it looked so pretty on her nails.


I tried it and FELL IN LOVE! Its baby pink tone is so calming and pretty.
I love that it dried very quick but also,thanks to the help of Revlon Nail Care quick dry spray! After i painted my nails,i sprayed the 60 seconds Revlon Dry spray and it really does live up to its name! It dried in no time :)

                                           

I received so many compliments while wearing this color.i love the shine that the Essie polish gives my nails.



Essie retails at R99.95
The color lasted me around 4 days.
I applied 2 coats to avoid that streaky effect.
It was a little streaky and patchy after the first coat but was fully opaque after the second.
I love the Revlon Dry Spray especially when you are in a rush and need your nails to dry really quick!
I used the Avon Glitter polish which is around R30.Its in a small bottle but is actually lasting me for a very long time! 
Totally worth the buy!
