NOTD - Pink Gradient Mani

Hey Lovelies!

Today I am wearing my very first sponged gradient manicure! For this manicure I recycled my previous mani - Essie's "Watermelon" (please see previous post for more information). I also Essie's "Guchi Muchi Puchi" which is a light pink creme polish for this manicure. I painted some of Watermelon and Guchi Muchi Puchi onto a plastic board and then applied it onto my nail using a sponge. There are tutorials on YouTube showing the technique.

I am really pleased with this gradient and the colours go well together! I will definitely be trying out more sponged gradients in the future!

NOTD - Essie Watermelon

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am wearing Essie's "Watermelon" which is from my pile of untried's! Watermelon is a deep pink (verging on red) creme polish. The formula applies like butter and is a one coater but I used two for the swatches below.

I am really happy with this polish it is very shiny and feminine.

Good news UK ladies - Essie's are now available at Boots and Superdrug stores. I happened to stumble across a stand yesterday in my local Boots (pictured below). Essie's are priced at £7.99 each which is pricey, however, both stores often have promotions like 3 for 2 offers and I noticed today that Superdrug online currently have 3 for 2 across cosmetics including Essie polishes!
