Review and swatches: Essence Re-Mix Your StyleOpis in ocena: Essence Re-Mix Your Style

Essence Re-Mix Your Style top coats were sold with the speed of light in my country. Fortunately I was able to get them in neighboring Austria. :nails:

I bought 5 base colors: Light My Fire, Maybe I’m Amazed, Show Me The Way, Stairway To Heaven (shimmer), Someone Like You.

Light My Fire (red) and Maybe I’m Amazed (purple) shades are little more sheer that the rest of the Essence Re-Mix Your Style polishes, but all of them looked perfect after 2 coats.

I layered all 4 top coats over base coats in the same order as in the above photo.

First one I tried out was Waking Up In Vegas aka Dance … gorgeous flakie nail polish. :wub: Formula is just right – thick, loaded with douchrome flakies suspended in clear base …

Next one was Feels So Good aka Love. I thought this is pinkish shimmer but it turned out that it’s actually duochrome.

And guess what – Essence actually got it right and Just Can’t Get Enough aka Pop is scattered holo top coat. :party:
This is too opaque formula for top coat to suit me, but I still love it just because it’s holo. :biggrin:

Last topper is called We Will Rock You aka Rock. When I saw it in store, I thought this would be the dud of this collection. But it turned out just as useful as other top coats. This is very, very sher smoky black formula with tiny shimmer. I love using it over other top coats to achieve sandwich effect and lessen the “wow” effect of other toppers.

I did manage to swatch few base polishes and few top coat combinations. It was actually pretty funny, but every single manicure I did that day had accident. So I only have photos of those I either managed to photograph before the mishap or the damage is not so bad. :silly:

I guess Light My Fire is no brainier as I adore red nail polishes. Very pretty cooler toned elegant red that I’ll be wearing again in the near future. 2 coats + top coat.

Maybe I’m Amazed is pretty purple shade. Application was a little more demanding with this and Light My Fire polish than other ones from this TE. But I can say it was nightmare or anything along that line. 2 coats + top coat.

But when you add Feels So Good over Maybe I’m Amazed … wow! What a gorgeous, starkly combo. :love:

Show Me The Way is blue-green polish that applies beautifully … and stained my nails. :devil: Fortunately it was not heavy staining so I removed it completely with help of acetone, vitamin C and washing my hair. :biggrin: 2 coats + top coat.

I played around with Show Me The Way and layered Waking Up In Vegas over it and then added one layer of We Will Rock You on my pinkie.

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.Essence Re-Mix Your Style nadlaki so se v Mullerjih razprodali s svetlobno hitrostjo. Na srečo sem jih uspela dobiti v Avstriji. :nails:

Kupila sem 5 baznih lakov: Light My Fire, Maybe I’m Amazed, Show Me The Way, Stairway To Heaven (šimer), Someone Like You.

Light My Fire (rdeči) in Maybe I’m Amazed (vijola) odtenka sta bolj prosojna kot ostali laki v tej kolekciji, vendar pa na na nohtih dva malo debelejša sloja zadostujeta za popolno prekrivnost.

Vse štiri nadlake sem nanesla čez bazne lake v istem vrstnem redu kot so naneseni na prvi fotografiji.

Prvi je seveda prišel na vrsto Waking Up In Vegas oz. Dance … prekrasen lak s krpicami. :wub: Formula je ravno prav gosta in nabita z duochrome krpicami, ki so suspendirane v prozorni osnovi.

Feels So Good oz Love vsebuje ogromno roza šimra … vsaj tako sem najprej mislila. Potem pa sem ugotovila, da gre dejansko za duochrome efekt, ki pa ni tako pogosto viden.

Uganite kaj je novega – Essence je tokrat celo res postregel s holo lakcem in ne z duochromom s holo imenom. Just Can’t Get Enough oz. Pop spada med lake s holo šimrom/bleščicami. :party:
Za moj okus je formula preveč prekrivna – brez roza osnove bi bil lak veliko boljši. Ampak holo je holo, tako da mi je še vedno všeč. :biggrin:

Zadnji nadlak se imenuje We Will Rock You oz. Rock. Ko sem ga prvič zagledala, mi ni bilo najbolj jasno kaj naj z njim. Vendar se je izkazal tako uporabne kot ostali nadlaki iz Re-Mix Your Style TE. Če ga nanesemo čez katerega izmed ostalih nadlakov, jih ravno toliko priduši, da dobimo še vedno živahno, a bolj elegantno manikuro. Gre pa za zelo prosojen črn lak z drobnim šimrom.

Nekaj lakov oz. kombinacij mi je celo uspelo poswatchati. Prav neverjetno kako je tisti dan šlo vse narobe. Uspelo mi je namreč poškodovati čisto vsako manikuro. Na srečo so nekatere zdržale do fotografiranja, druge pa niso bile tako zanič, da vam jih ne bi mogla pokazati. :silly:

Light My Fire je verjetno očitna izbira za ljubiteljico rdečih lakov. Zelo lepa temnejpa rdeča s hladnejšim podtonom, ki jo bom v prihodnosti zagotovo še nosila. 2 plasti + nadlak.

Maybe I’m Amazed je zelo lušten vijola odtenek. Skupaj z Light My Fire sta se malo težje nanašala kot preostali laki v kolekciji, vendar nič takega kar bi povzročalo resne težave. 2 plasti + nadlak.

Ko pa dodate Maybe I’m Amazed eno plast Feels So Good … uau! Kombinacija je enkratna in se prav čudovito iskri. :love:

Show Me The Way je modro-zelen lak, ki se zelo lepo nanaša … a tudi obarva nohte. :devil: Na srečo je bilo zabarvanje le površinsko, tako da so aceton, vitamin C in pranje las opravila s to nadlogo. :biggrin: 2 plasti + nadlak.

Čez Show Me The Way sem nanesla Waking Up In Vegas krpice, potem pa na mezincu dodala še eno plast We Will Rock You laka.

Kako so vam všeč imena odtenkov? :silly:

Ker se na fotografijah bleščice ne vidijo prav izrazito, sem vam pripravila videoposnetek Essence Re-Mix Your Style lakov v akciji.

  1. This is great (although the chances of me wining are close to nothing). I’ve wanted Waking Up In Vegas so bad but just couldn’t get it anywhere. Now I’m too late, TE Vampire’s love is already being sold. :/

    • Yeah – they didn’t plan well and way to little of these beauties was available. But you newer know … maybe they will add it to regular line in the future.
