Essence Update: Ready for boarding limited edition nail polish review

When visiting the Drugstore yesterday, I also found  one other nail polish of the ready for boarding collection, 05 Destination Sunshine. Like the name almost already says, indeed it's a yellow one.

I needed two layers of the polish. Do not be to spare while putting a layer on your nail. You will get strokes in the polish. That looks ugly and you have to redo the nail.

I do like the  soft yellow color. Really a summer color.

Go to your drugstore where they sell Essence to get this lovely limited edition nail polish which will cost you 1,49 euro.

Essence Ready for boarding limited edition nail polish review

Essence has a new limited edition line, named: Ready for boarding. It contains: eye pencils, nail polish, eye shadow pallet, lip & cheek creme, a luggage label, hand & body wipes and a make up bag. Actually all you need when you go on holiday.

I did not buy the whole collection. I skipped the eye pencils because eye never use them. I also did not buy the luggage label.

From the nailpolishes I bought two bottles, the rest of them was already sold out. I've got 02 beauty on tour, which is a pink coral. The other one is 04 via airmail! a blue nailpolish. I also bought the peel off base coat 01 carry me home.

This is the base coat. It's created to peel it off, so you do not need any nail polishes remover to get your nail polish of your nails anymore. When I opened the bottle, saw the texture ans smelled it, it reminded me of the  glue we used at school when i was young. Maybe it is something like that, because you have to let it dry for ten minutes after you have put it on your nails.

The base coat getting dry. 

The bottle. And as you can see on my nails. When the base coat is dry, it gets translucent 

The coral one: 02 beauty on tour

The blue on: 04 via airmail!

Peeling of your nail polish while wearing the base coat, you can just peel it off. If it will not come off your fingers in once, just scratch with another nail on it.

Also, If this base coat is not available anymore, Essence included it in their new collection which will be available in September 2012.

Nailpolishes are 1,49euro each
Peel off base coat: 1,79 euro

Essence Fruity Nailpolish collection review

The Fruity Collection from Essence  contains  five colors of nailpolish, a fruity topcoat, a sealing topcoat and fruity figures to  put on your nails.  The only thing   for the  nails that i did not buy where those figures because they where sold out.

From the 5 colors of nailpolish, 3 are with sparkles. The other two are shiny pastels. In the picture you can see them with the names.

If you out on 2 layers, it gives a semi transparant color. I like that, because it looks  like sumemr should do: light, and sunny. When you put on 3 layers It gives a high opaque and matches the color in the  bottle. To give you the idea about the 2 and 3 layer difference, i've made some photo's with 2 and 3 layers.

05 mashed berries

04 one kiwi a day…(two layers)

04 one kiwi a day…(3 layers)

02 peach beauty

01 banana joe

03 very cherry

Then there are the 2 top coats. The Fruity smelling top coat  smells sweet as in tropical lemonade syrup sweet. If you do not like sweet smell that will stay for  more then one day. Do not use it. Else just enjoy the sweet smell.
The  sealing  topcoat is actually made to seal the  fruity figures on top of your nails. But you can use it also as a normal topcoat on the nailpolish, like i do.

Still available at stores where they  sell Essence. In the Netherlands  you can  buy it at Kruidvat. The nailpolishes you can buy for €1,79. the topcoats are €1,99

Essence nail colour 3 review

Essence has released a new nail polish collection. The collection exists of duo colors. You can use the colors separated or layer them on your nails. I Bought: 02 shopping trip in Soho

At the moment you can buy them in 6(actually 12)colours which you can see on the website

First the packing. This nail polish comes in cylinder shaped bottles connected with a middle part, the brushes. If find the packaging very useful. Because of the cylinder shape and also the right thickness it is very comfy to paint your nails.

Colors: I like the colors. The are very bright. And do all contain a glitterpolish in the bottle on the other side.

Price: not expensive. they are €2,79.

Review Essence nail colour 3: 02 shopping trip in Soho


In this photo, the pink nailpolish named: shopping trip in soho. This is a shimmering pink colour. I have to layers on my nails. It's a nice pink colour


In this photo I've putted the glitter polish named: party all noght long on top of the pink colour. This turns the colour into an dark colour of pink with a little sparked. Like a lovely Barbie Pink. Personally i think the sparkles could have made a little bit more present. But it still gives a nice effect.

I was curious about how it would look the other way around(first sparkle layer then the pink polish. Since I already painted my own nails, The next photo's are my moms nails.


This is the party all night long polish. Hope it is visible enough because of the flashlight. It is an semitransparent polish in a dark pink.



On top of the sparkle layer, I've putted the pink layer, shopping trip in Soho. It has quite the same effect as the first combination. but now you will get a shiny dark pink.

I think I will buy some more of this polishes since I do like them.

Favourite Red

My favourite red nail polish: Maybelline #15 Candy Apple. No other nail polish will ever defeat that one! (but that's my opinion);)
