Essence - Be Optimistic

Hey guys! How are you doing? It's a lazy Sunday. The weather is so sad and I'm having a post-concert laziness in my bones. It was a cool night yesterday. Thanks to my studies I put concerts down to a minimum and so I enjoyed it even more when I finally went out after a while. But I got so tired I fell asleep with my contacts and full make up still on, my BF woke me up after a couple of hours of sleeping, and I almost ran to the bathroom to clean everything off. I felt like I did some great injustice to my poor skin, I really take care of removing my make up every day, so my skin is clean for the beauty sleep. *sigh* Oh well, it's good that only now it's the first time that happened to me, I guess. :)

Today an Essence beauty from the new sortiment. This one was my number one on the list to buy. Great copper orange, epic win polish.

Two coats, application is a bit tricky, it can get brush-stroky fast, so you have to be a bit careful about that. But look at the colour! It's sooooo gorgeous. IMO one of the best Essence ever made. 

Your thoughts? Which ones did you get from the new sortiment?

Thank you for reading!

Depend 225

Hello darlings! As I'm waiting for my BF to show up so we can go out and enjoy this beautiful day, I'll show you another Depend dear Kaneli sent me all the way from Finland. One of the two greens from new spring collection by Depend, this one is a problem child, tricky and a bit unusual.

You can see why this is a problem child. Because of the amount of fine silver shimmer, this one is very brush-stroky, it dries metallic kinda-matte and well ... it's a goopy mess. It actually dragged from the bottle like a tooth paste! So I'm not very happy with the formula. Although brush is good, as always with Depend, I had troubles dealing with the blasted thing of a varnish. I think this was two coats ... I think I needed three on some fingers, to even it out, but I'm not sure. Later on I added TC, but forgot to take pictures, finish changes a bit, gets glossier, metallic finish fades a bit.

As for the colour - very special polish. I can imagine lots of you are going "eeeww" right now. ;) Tell you the truth, I didn't like it much, although the bright greens are my love, this finish isn't. I didn't hate it, but I think it's one of those colours you really need to be in the mood for. What bothered me the most is that varnish didn't sit on my nails ... it looks like I have fake nails, and that's the look I dislike. That's why I maybe didn't give the right chance to the colour. But I'm sure I won't grab this bottle often nevertheless. 

I tried this one with Lightning Bolt, you'll be the judge of that combination tomorrow. :) What do you think about Depend 225 alone?
