Don Deeva Polish Pickup Video Games June 2018

Don Deeva Dots for Breakfast, Ghosts for Lunch is inspired by none other than Pac Man! I first played in 1984 at a hotel near Mt. Fuji when my family lived in Japan and it was all the rage! The polish is a black jelly with primary colored matte glitters, holo microglitters, red to gold multichrome microflakes, and copper to gold multichrome flakes. I wore it in four thin coats for maximum depth, but fewer will do. The glitters come out easily and it dries quickly. It does have some texture, but smooths out with a couple layers of top coat. I wore this four days recently during a conference and it held up like a champ!

Price: $13

Capped at 150 bottles sold

I'm back with the second half of my review of the Essie Soda Pop Shop Collection . These polishes are inspired by the diners of the 50s with a soft, cheerful palette. If you missed it, my review of the shimmer polishes from the collection are here . Next up are the cremes! *sent by PR for photography and review* Essie Pin Me Pink  is a bubblegum pink creme. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will do. It has a medium dry time and a smooth formula. Essie Cherry On Top  is a bright maroon creme. I wore this one in two thin coats. It has a great, fast-drying formula. Essie Drive-In & Dine  is a raspberry purple creme. I wore this in two thin coats and it had a nice, smooth formula. Medium-to-quick dry time. Essie  has revised their brushes, and this collection was the first to launch with the new version.

Essie Soda Pop Shop Collection Swatches and Review Part 1

Image
I teased you with the press release  of the Essie Soda Pop Shop Collection  a while back an now I have real live swatches on these fingers for you! This is a fun vintage-inspired collection and today's post focuses on the shimmer shades in the group. Tomorrow I will be back with the cremes! *sent by PR for photography and review* Essie Going Steady  is a sheer ivory with green shimmer. I wore this in four thin coats, but it is not streaky, so you could layer it however you like, and even a single coat looks nice. It has a medium dry time and I recommend thin coats to stop any bubbling, since it is a sheer. Essie Out of the Jukebox  is a coral jelly with gold microflakes. I wore this in four thin coats for maximum depth, but it can be worn in as few or many coats as you like. Great formula with medium-to-fast dry time. Essie Babes in the Booth  is a taffy pink shimmer. I wore this in three thin coats, but two might do. It is nicely reflective without being frosty. As usual with shim
