Previously, I wrote about Essie Spring 2009 collection. Presentation of the collection and photos of shades Mesmerize and One Of A Kind are HERE. It is a good collection, maybe not best suited for spring, but good. With creme blue shade called Mesmerize Essie hit “freaks” like me right in the heart. It is really unusual blue creme, which applied beautifully. But this collection did disappoint people who expected pastel, soft, sheer shades, because this collection does not offer any.
Today I’d like to present you: Status Symbol. It is a vibrant creme pink with a bit of coral to it. It is not “barbie pink” nor neon pink, it is “just” vibrant pink.
With this one I didn’t have any application issues. Picture above is taken with two coats.
When running through my stash I realised, that Status Symbol is really similar to Essie’s last summer shade Movers & Shakers.
They are really similar but not dupes. Status has some coral hint to it, which Movers & Shaker does not have.
Pred časom sem že pisala o pomladanski kolekciji znamke Essie. Predstavitev kolekcije in fotografije odtenkov Mesmerize in One Of A Kind si lahko preberete TUKAJ. Kolikor sem spremljala odzive na tole kolekcijo, lahko kot kratek povzetek napišem naslednje. V splošnem je bila kolekcija kar dobro sprejeta, čeprav ji malo očitajo, da ni najbolj primerna za pomlad. Najbolj je razveselila takšne “freak-e” kot sem jaz, saj je ponudila čudovit krem moder odtenek. Razočarala pa je tiste, ki so za pomlad pričakovali nekaj nežnega, pastelnega, celo prosojnega, saj za spremembo v pomladanski Essie kolekciji ni nobenega prosojnega odtenka.
Za danes imam pripravljen živahen roza odtenek Status Symbol. Resnično gre za živahen roza odtenek, ki pa ni “barbie pink”, prav tako ne sodi med neon roza. Dejansko gre “le” za živahno roza s koralnim pridihom.
Pri nanašanju nisem imela nobenih težav. Na fotografiji zgoraj sta dva nanosa.
Ob pregledovanju svoje zbirke, sem ugotovila, da je Status Symbol zelo podoben odtenku Movers & Shakers iz kolekcije Poletje 2008 znamke Essie. Primerjava…
Odtenka sta si zelo podbna, vendar nista popolnoma identična. Največja razlika, ki jo jaz opazim, je to, da ima Status Symbol koralen pridih, ki ga Movers & Shakers nima.
