Essie Wicked - Perfect for Halloween

Halloween's in a week! Yay!!

I don't know why I'm so psyched for Halloween. I guess I'm really enjoying all the unconventional creative beauty looks and tutorials around.

University finals are in exactly a week (GAH!!) and I don't think I could really spare the time for a full blown Halloween look. However, in the spirit of Halloween, I decided to paint my nails in a very Halloween-isque colour!


Essie Wicked is a gorgeous wine red which can sometimes look red, brown or black under different lighting.

I used 2 layers to achieve complete opacity. One layer gives me a dark red wine colour but a second layer brings the polish a different dimension, where to brain can't pinpoint if it's red ro brown.

I'm so glad I won this nail polish from Tezza's giveaway cause I seem to be falling in love with dark polishes! I doubt I would have picked out this polish among the sea of colours!

It's spring and I'm addicted to dark polish? Whut? Lol!



Are you sporting any special nail colour or design in the spirit of Halloween?

Cheers!!

  9. This is actually my first and only full sized Essie polish! I have a couple small holiday sets which I really like! =D Now that you've mentioned it, Essie polishes are really true to their bottle unlike some of my OPIs! I'll have to follow up with this observation tho!

  13. Dark nail polishes are the bomb! But I'm pretty worried it may stain the nails much more easily (it happened to me once with a dark blue polish, but there could be other factors involved, eg. brand) but I still love them! =)

  14. Thank you so much! I'm starting to panic right about now. XP Yeah there aren't as many colour choices as OPI but there's still a decent fun amount available at Hair Warehouse etc. Have a WICKED Halloween! ^.~

  21. I found it really easy to apply! The first layer applied streaky but the second layer covered them up perfectly! I find this polish a lil more watery than other polishes too! Don't know if it's just my polish acting 'weird', but I really like the runny formula!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yeah! I really like the dimension of the colour! =D
