Swap post!

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a good weekend, it is so hot here I am dying :(. Yesterday was like 87 and today is supposed to be 85, which isn't bad really except when you have no air conditioning! And the hotter it gets here, the less wind and breeze there is so it sucks. I hope this is the last heat wave of the summer, bring on fall!

A little while ago, I did a little swap with the lovely Roisin of Cuti-CLUE-les which was lots of fun. In my package from her I received 3 of the Essence Snow White polishes! I love the ones she sent, I got Doc, Grumpy and The Huntsman. These are my first ever Essence polishes, and they did not disappoint. The formula on them all was great, went on easily with no troubles pooling or anything. For the pictures below I used 2 coats and no top coat and even the glitter was great! I actually sat down and swatched these the day they arrived, so I feel bad it has taken me so long to post them!

First up I have the one that I had wanted most, Doc. Doc is a lovely orange. I am still surprising myself with how much I love orange polish. Even without top coat this is shiny as well!


Next I have Grumpy, a bright blue. Another great color, I never get tired of blue polish! Again, shiny even without top coat.


And finally, I layered 2 coats of The Huntsman, a gold glitter in various size and shapes, over Grumpy. I like the glitter, and feel I got good payoff with it, but I don't think I like it over Grumpy. I will be wearing this over other colors for sure.


Once again I would like to thank Roisin for sending me these, the swap was fun! Everyone go check out her blog, she is amazing.
