So its Friday and time for a new varnish! This week I was excited to try one of the colours from Essie's Winter Collection. I've had my eye on this colour and Snap Happy since other bloggers have been posting photos of these lovely colours!
Leading Lady is described as "a supreme deep red with glitter". Its a bit darker than I thought it was going to be, I thought it would be more similar to Dear Santa which OPI brought out about three years ago but I like it - I think its a classy glitter polish if there is such a thing!
Sorry the light is not the best, I am not sure why but I have found it hard to get a good photo that shows this colour off to its best. Here is one more, its still not great quality but hopefully it gives you and idea.
Please excuse my dirty keyboard......must get my marigolds out and give it a scrub!!
Are any of you going to try the Essie Winter Collection?
Hi everyone!
I've been thinking about blogging for a while! I'm constantly reading other blogs and find them so useful, I love the reviews and opinions of others! My blog will mainly be about beauty - both products and treatments. Every now and again I may blog about random stuff - hopefully it'll all be interesting to someone out there!
I hate bad service - it really gets my back up! For instance recently in Selfridges I experienced the most pushy Shu Uemura assistant in the history of pushy assistants! I was at the counter to repurchase some items and her aggressive sales technique left me seething!!! On the other hand sometimes I have had great service at beauty counters and that is always worth shouting about too!
A little about me - I'm female, 37 and live in central London. I'm currently temping so have to try and control what I spend (eek) but its not going that well ;-)
Speak soon x
I am going to start blogging about my favourite nails varnishes! These tend to be either Essie or OPI - both have a fabulous range of colours and are so long lasting. I can be a bit boring in the colours I wear - as you will find out I tend to stick to reds, I just feel like reds are the most flattering to my very pale skin colour.
So here is one of my favourite Essie colours - Russian Roulette!
Its a gorgeous vibrant red. I really think this is a classic pillarbox red. Sometimes I look at it and can see coral in it but thats only in certain light. I don't think you can go wrong with this red and it looks great on pale and tan skin.
Here's another pic:
What do you think of this colour and what are your favourite nail brands and colours?
