Ugh this is so pretty!! It's a foil-y super micro glitter/micro flakie filled polish with a teal jelly base and the glitter particles are these green/teal with a subtle gold shimmer. Truly gorgeous. I'd say unique, but we know there are at least 3 other polishes identical or near identical to this. But I still think it's amazing.
The formula was just plain awesome. Thin and easy to use but still opaque in 2 coats. And I TOTALLY loved this brush. For how lame my brush was on MAC Bad Fairy, there's no excuse for that when this 99¢ brush was flawless. Reminded me of the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear brush, but when I held them next to each other, the Essence brush was just a LITTLE smaller. But the shape and density seemed nearly identical. And I love the Xtreme Wear brush.
I love cheap dupes too, and this is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely polish, great colour and glittery too.

ReplyDeleteI could make an entire post devoted to how much I love dupes! Lol. I'm so frugal so when I can get a polish cheaper I'm all about it!!

I agree! I love blue polishes and it's just so pretty.
Apparently I loved this polish so much in the store I picked it up twice. lol Didn't even know it was supposed to be a dupe for more expensive brands.

ReplyDeleteLol!! I have yet to buy the same polish, but that's so funny! Perfect that it's only 99c, too!
