Essence Ciao Oliviero 161

Essence have released loads of new polishes for autumn.. I love when this happens because they're only €1.79 and I can buy them all without feeling guilty!

Today I'm going to show you one of their new greens (I think there's three new greens). This olive green is really shiny and very very neutral. If you are pale, like me, it will compliment your skin tone. If you are tanned, it will work even better!

I used two coats for this polish, it applied lovely - I am getting used to the fat brush that Essence are now using - and I really like this colour on. I wore this polish for a few days with Out The Door top coat and only experienced minimal tip wear. Very impressed.

Polish is available now in Penneys and pharmacies across Ireland.

Hello readers! :)

Work has kept me very busy in the last week.. so I've not had time to post at all. 

Today I have two beautiful polishes that have been sent to me for review by Tip Top Nails. They are a South African based nail polish brand, and they have SO many products! Just take a look at their website here.

I will have more of their polishes to show you in the coming days.

First up I have Sitting Pretty; a really nice bright almost neon pink. Coverage was opaque in two coats, and the polish was really nice to apply. The brush is perfect for me; I prefer a small brush because I have tiny hands and it's easier for me to get the polish where I want it! You cannot see my nail line in real life, the flash shows it in the pictures.

Secondly I have Super Trooper - an aptly named Khaki Green colour. Not what I'd normally choose myself when buying polish but I do really like this colour on my pale skin tone. Again, two coats for even coverage and a lovely formula.

Overall, I am impressed with these polishes. They have a lovely formula, and I found the polishes to be well lasting (I used their own brand base and top coats).

You can check out Tip Top Nails on their facebook page too! 

You can not purchase Tip Top Nails products in Ireland, though I am really hoping to see them for sale on our shelves in the very near future
