Essie- Case Study

So this is the first time I'm swatching Essie polish on my blog. I like Essie polishes so its kind of weird that i haven't swatched them before. Anyways aside from my rambling today I'm gonna be talking about Essie Case Study. Case Study is a creamish brown polish. If you guys don't already know, I'm a sucker for nude, tan, beige and creamish colours so when I saw this in the store i knew i had to have it. 
The photos show 2 coats but this is opaque with one coat if you do a generous coat. However knowing me, i had to add the second coat. Only downside to this polish is that it is so much darker on your nails then in the bottle. Don't get me wrong i love the colour on my nails but i initially picked it up because i loved the colour in the bottle and if i had to pick which I liked better, it would have to be the colour in the bottle then on the nail. I still love the colour on the nail though but not as much as in the bottle. In fact if you look at pictures below(not the top photo cause you can't tell) you can tell the difference between the polish that is in the bottle and on your nail. I do have to say that you can notice a bigger difference in person then the pictures.
Okay enough said about the colour. Applying was a breeze and no clean up which I love. Drying was good, not great but definitely better then alot of polishes and by good i mean that once you painted both your hands, you had to wait 2-3 minutes for the next coat which is not bad. I usually say great drying time to polishes that are done by the time you finish your both hands that you can go straight away with a second coat. Still pretty impressive. The formula was also great. I definitely see myself using Essie Case Study in the future.
What's your favourite Essie polish? Have you used Case Study?

Friday Nail Polish Search

Hey guys so I finally got some time from my fully packed life to head out and buy nail polish. That's right nail polish! It all happened Friday.

I usually go out and buy nail polish whenever I want. If I like it, I buy it. That's my rule. So I went out on Friday just to look around and ended up buying 5 nail polishes. No pictures yet but I promise to have them up.

Living down under means that Finding some great nail polish brands such as China Glaze, Opi or Essie are very hard. If we do come to access to it, they are usually $20 AUD. Pricey but what can we do. Before you think about the 5 nail polishes I bought and great brands, let me tell you one was from revlon and the others from Jordana.

Now your thinking why did I tell you about expensive nail polishes such as China Glaze. Well I told you because I've heard of a store for about a year but never went to because it's about a 40-45 minute drive. They sell china glaze and other brands for real cheap. China glaze I heard was $6. So I may go someday soon. Maybe even today. For those who want to go to it too. It's called pro nail supply in bankstown. Search it on google and you will find its website with the address.

I guess that's the end but I will put pictures of my nail polish haul I did on Friday.

Take care guys and see you next time
