essence colour & go polish in 145 flashy pumpkin*

If you've been reading my blog for a while now you will know that I love my essence nail polishes. The shade that I am sharing with you today is 145 flashy pumpkin. It is a bright, vibrant (but not neon) orange shade with a creme finish. Think of the stringy pith inside a pumpkin, it looks like that shade of pumpkin. The above swatch was three thin glossy coats, easy application and removal.

The essence colour & go polishes retail for S$2.90 (8mL) and come in a variety of different shades and finishes. Halloween is only a month away so make sure you grab this polish and maybe a black and do some cute pumpkin nail art! Get creative!

MUA Love Hearts Polish: I WANT U....to be less streaky!

Hello!

So the first polish that I am going to be talking about is I WANT U.

*All photos taken in natural daylight*

I WANT U is a bright, tangelo creme. This was 3 coats on some nails, 4 on others. I actually love orange polishes and this one is no exception.

Except the one MAJOR downfall! The brushes on all of these polishes are terrible. They are short and have plastic fibres which drag the polish making it streaky no matter what I try.

The formula is nice, with a better brush I would probably only have needed 2-3 coats for it to become opaque. The polish dried pretty quickly.

I've decided to just empty an old nail polish and just use that brush whenever I want to use these polishes because this brush is seriously unmanageable! Maybe that's just my particular ones but then again, ALL of the other brushes are the same. But I mean, it only cost £2 (S$4), so I didn't except it to have a perfect manufactured brush!

Size:
6.8mL for £2 (S$4)

Availability:
I ordered mine from Superdrug. (Sent to my nan's house, my dad was in England for work so he picked it up hehe!) You can find them on the MUA website also.

Thanks for reading!

Watsons Disney Polish ~ 45

Hello!

I showed this polish in my recent haul, which you can see here.

I found it at Watsons in one of the bins near the cashier, where they have all the cheap things on offer so you buy something extra. grrrr evil!

These are 12mL for S$2.90. The colours really drew me in, but they were all seperated in the bottle but I thought since they were so cheap, why not try them? Plus, I love all things Disney.

Here's the first polish I got, number 45...

 Natural Light

 Flash

Number 45 is a peachy pink with an orangey gold shimmer. As far as application goes, I was pleasantly surprised.

I started with my index finger first and then did the rest, when I finished painting my thumb, my index finger was completely dry. This was three coats. The finish is smooth, it wasn't gritty at all, on par with OPI and Orly I would say.

I had this on my nails for three days with no top coat or base coat and it only chipped because my actual nail chipped! I had a shower, washed my hair, opened boxes and it was still perfect. I'm pretty amazed by this since the first time I tried a Deborah Lippmann polish which retails for S$35, I had a shower and it peeled completely off in sheets the same day!

So for S$2.90......Bargain! If you can find this at your Watsons, pick it up!

Thanks for reading! Follow if you would like to see the rest of the Disney polishes :D

Sleek Blush by 3 ~ Lace (No.367)

This was my first ever Sleek product since it isn't sold here in Singapore. However there are a few products available on Luxola, but not this particular product.

I actually asked my cousin to bring it over from England when he visited, and he did so thank you! (:

From the title you've probably guessed I'm talking about the Sleek Blush by 3 in 367 Lace.

The packaging is so sleek eh? (Yes, I made that joke :P )

Concept

"The Blush by '3' palette has been formulated with intense pigment yet the shades can be layered in order to achieve the required intensity".

 Without flash

With flash

From left to right we have: Chantilly, Guipure, Crochet (which are different beautiful types of lace, hence the name!)

Chantilly is a matte tangerine orange.

Guipure is a shimmery orange/gold with random silver glitter

Crochet is a matte burnt orange/red.

 Shade

Natural daylight

All three shades are extremely pigmented. You get 20g for £10 (~S$20). I like the packaging, however it has a huge mirror, which I think is quite unnecessary for a blush palette, because I don't ever take blush with me when I go out.

As with any matte product, application can be quite patchy but it's nothing that can't be fixed.

 I would definitely recommend that when first applying this, less is definitely more. It's easier to add more product than to take it away.Also the wear of these blushers is nice.

Guipure looks lovely layered over the NYX Stick Blush in Orchid, which you can view here.

There is a few other shades available in the Blush by 3 range: Pink Sprint, Sugar, Flame and Pumpkin.

This is the only palette that really stood out to me. It is also the most wearable in my eyes. If you want to see the other shades, you can click here.

That's the end of the blog post, I hope you found this helpful.
