Essie - Not Just A Pretty Face






My first ever Essie nail polish! Wowww! Where have i been you ask? I've always felt Essie and Opi are very overpriced nail polishes as i am 100% happy with using £2.99 Barry M colours.
I was pretty bummed to find out that my local Superdrug are not stocking the Essie polishes as i was hoping that seeing them in person would persuade me to buy some. However, the other week, walking through Boots i clapped eyes on the stand with all of the pretty colours from Essie. I was so pleased but also kind of nervous that i would now splurge on a £7.99 nail polish every time i go in there. Anyway, i obviously HAD to buy one! I have been after ballet slippers for a while as i heard it gives that clean and polished finish. After seeing this i thought it was a little too light and opted for 'Not Just A Pretty Face' instead as this looked like it had a tad more colour.





Every single day since i had have this i have worn it on my nails! At first, with one coat i didn't really see my difference in my nail colour. I then added another coat and then my top coat (Barry M) and i fell in love with it immediately. The light flush of pink that it gives your nails, like you've just had a manicure. It's almost like you can't tell its there until you look but gives your nails the most perfect natural finish. I love it so much and think that after one polish, i am an Essie convert. I cannot wait to buy more colours for the summer!

What's your favourite shade from Essie?
