Essence - Choose me! with Halley's Comet comparison

You're probably really sick of this one, aren't you? Plus I'm an era or two late with this comparison, but I did it a long time ago and I said what the hell, let's show it for the 64132158th time. Choose me! was the first Essence I actually tried. Crazy, eh? So you can imagine my immense surprise at the facts that the brush simply rocks, the formula of the polish is wonderful and it is a beyond awesome colour. All for 1,49€. FTW




No idea how, but I somehow managed to pick the insane duochrome effect up to a maximum, it looks insane, on the first pic is looks like I did a gradient mani with green and blue. Well, I didn't. No words neccessary for this one, you know it well, together with all the dupes. It's gorgeous, it needs three coats to be fully opaque and it stains, two coats of base coat are highly recommended. It also dries really fast, i didn't use any top coat and I had it on for a couple of days, smudge free.

The comparison with Orly Halley's Comet was made when I got my Choose me! bottle, hence the different nail lenght. I did the comparison because back then I was comparing the Cosmic FX collection and I wanted to see how close they get. They are rather close, the blurry picture only shows the minor difference between them. Still, I don't think you need them both, unless you're really crazy about the colour and would want a back up, since Essence bottle is small. Both brushes are fantastic and both need three coats.




Which one of the Charla-Catch Me In Your Net-Halley's Comet-Choose Me!-two or three more I can't remember from the top of my head-dupe circle did you get? Do you have more of them? Which one do you use the most often then?

Thank you for reading, have a great Saturday!

  5. Imam ovaj lak za nokte i obožavam ga! Kada nanesem dva sloja, teško mi se skida ovaj glitter pa nekad poludim :D

    Imaš predivne nokte! Predivne!

  7. How can you get tired of seeing this polish on blogs? ;) It's a classic colour, especially gorgeous in the sun <3 And your pictures rocks! Wow, it really glows :) I have this version (the cheaper the better! And the brush is perfection, yes) but I am thinking of getting Halleys Comet (I've heard it should be more opaque).

  8. Biba, Essence je lahko za backup. ;)

    Gina, thank you!

    Just me and Hohner, I agree, my opinion on their products really got insanely great during these last few months.

    Lendoxia, možda pošto se stvarno teško skida? Ja imam taj problem sa nekoliko lakova, voljela bi jih nositi češće al zbog skidanja ne mogu, izgubim živce totalno. :/

    rock-or-not, I'm glad someone found the late comparison useful! :)

    Melody of Beauty, da, baš kažem Lendoxii, imam isti problem, skidanje stvarno nervira. Sad pokušavam ovakve lakove stavit na base boju, možda če biti bolje. :) I hvala za divan kompliment!

    The Nail Buff, no problem, swap, my darling, swap for them! :)

    Jette Fromm, hehe, well, I felt I'm a bit late with this little one. :D And yeah, I have no idea what's with my pics, my camera had a good day that day, as it seems! :) Hm, I wore them both, and I think they both need three coats, otherwise you have VNL ... I hope you won't be disappointed if you get the Orly one!

    Thank you all for your lovely comments! Hvala za super komentarje!
