Mini Invogue Nail Polish Haul

I bought a few polishes from Invogue when they first came out, but since them I have only seen them in one superdrug so I haven't bought any more.

You can see my other reviews here:

Suede - Green

Concrete - Red

Feathers effect

Hi Res Glitter - Blue

Felt it was time to while I had some money in my paypal and superdrug had free delivery over the weekend.

This time I got two metallics which I didn't get any of last time, and another suede effect, my absolute favourite.

First is green sheen, a teal metallic. It had very good coverage on one coat, but as you can see all the brush strokes I put a second on just to even it out. Dries quickly and I think its a great stand out shade.

The second metallic I got is passionate, a lovely lavender colour, almost like the Barry M foil but slightly darker. The same application applies to this as to the other one.

The 3rd polish is my favoutite, suede effect hot gossip

 Had to take a few extra photos. The 'suede' effect, is a matte glitter. I am still after a matte top coat, but this will do until then. In the pictures its just once coat. Its a lovely dark pink I can definitely see me wearing this one a lot.

 Invogue is the more affordable range from Eye Candy and available at Superdrug.

They range from £2.99 (metallics) to £3.49 (suede) they have quite a few other effects too, a really good priced brand, I hope they bring out more in the future.

Another place to purchase invogue is on http://www.ohbeauty.co.uk/invogue-nail-polish they charge £4.49 each BUT it is free delivery! So it works out cheaper

Essie 'Penny Talk' Swatch and Review

My very first essie polish! Wanted one for ages but they are just a bit too expensive for me. I had been seeing a few good reviews for the April Glossy Box, which is where I got it from, my review of which can be found Here

Back to the polish!
This one is called 'Penny Talk' its light metallic bronze. I have been after a bronze for a while so I was happy with this.

As you can see, it is quite pale for a bronze, slightly pink tones to it. Is it weird that I love the shape of the brush? The curve is much better than the usual brush shapes. I used 1 coat on my little finger, it is  completely opaque but I have all those ridges where my acrylics were so I used a second coat on the rest of the nails. Easy to apply and dried quite quickly.

Essie retails at £7.99 per bottle, ouch! I just cant justify spending that much on one bottle, which is a shame because they have some amazing colours available.

The official website is here: essie and you can also purchase them in Boots stores.

what do you think of this colour?
