Random things from Essence…Essence NOVOSTI!!! – 1. del

In April, Essence introduced some great new products. Above all, there are some really great new nail polishes. I was very excited about Show Your Feet collection and I wasn’t disappointed. The collection is mainly for pedicure. The formula is antibacterial, long lasting and highly pigmented, so only one coat would be needed for full coverage and I fully agree with the high pigmentation. I didn’t have any application issues at all. The brush is flat and I didn’t have any problems with it.

Deep Blue Sea and Caribbean Sea are both pretty shades. There is only one thick coat pictured below.

There are also some new shades in the Colour & Go collection. One of them is creme green shade Check Me Out, pictured above. There are three coats in the picture.

Essence upgraded the Multi Dimensional line into the XXXL Shine and with the upgrade came some great new shades.

So Wanted is a shade that will make a lot of people happy, because it’s a dupe for Yummy Gummy from the Jelly Baby Trend Edition. Two coats pictured below.

Next shade from the Show Your Feet collection is Flashy Pink., which is a creme pink shade. Two coats pictured below.

Object Of Desire (pictured below) is an orange shade with some red to it. It has silver shimmer. It is highly pigmented and I had no application issues with it. If you are careful enough, you’ll only need one coat. Two coats pictured below.

Object Of Desire reminded me of a discontinued shade from Essence, called Why Not? But I have to admit they are far from being dupes. Object Of Desire is more red. Why Not? is more orange and has a frost finish, which means that there are visible brush strokes.

However, I found a dupe in the Show Your Feet line. I found out that Very Berry from SYF is a dupe for Very Berry shade from Jelly Baby TE. The only difference I see is the consistency. Very Berry from SYF is more pigmented, which is a good thing.

Next we have a wonderful purple shade from the Show Your Feet line. It’s name is Purple Magic. It’s purple with some blue tint to it.

Hotie from the XXXL Shine line looks identical to Purple Magic in the bottle. But when applied on the nail, there is a difference between the two of them. Purple Magic is more pigmented, that’s why after two coats it looks darker that Hotie with two coats. Hotie has some frost finish which Purple Magic does not have. Both applied well. The difference in color is very subtle. Maybe it would be easier for you to decide between the two of them if you consider that SYF line has flat brush and the formula is more pigmented.

Below is a comparison between OPI – Purple With A Purpose and Jessica – Birds Of Paradise. Both are beautiful rich purples. Both are lighter purple than Hotie or Purple Magic.

And some glitter for the end!

Nail Art Glitter Topper – Shiny Star is a top coat with different shaped glitter in clear base. This one is really pretty, but the glitter is hard to remove.

Pred časom sem pisala, da se nam v aprilu obetajo novosti na Essence stojalih zaradi prenove stojal. Končno smo jih dočakali! :w00t: Novosti je kar nekaj, jaz bom pisala le o lakih za nohte…

Novost, katere sem se verjetno najbolj veselila, je kolekcija Show Your Feet (krajše SYF), ki vsebuje osem čudovitih odtenkov lakov za nohte. Kolekcija je v osnovi namenjena pedikuri oziroma lepšanju nohtov na nogah. Formula naj bi bila antibakterijska, dolgo obstojna in dobro pigmentirana, saj naj bi zadostoval že en nanos za dobro prekrivnost. Glede dobre pigmentiranosti se popolnoma strinjam. Odtenki se lepo nanašajo in ob previdnem nanosu resnično zadostuje le en nanos. Zanimivost je tudi sploščen čopič, ki mi začuda ni delal veliko preglavic. A to je bilo na rokah, kako se bo obnesel na nogah, kjer so nohti manjši, pa ne vem.

Čopič…

Nekaj novih odtenkov je tudi v liniji Colour & Go. Vzela sem le odtenek z imenom Check Me Out, da preverim, ali so izboljšati tudi formulo.  Gre za zelo živ krem zelen odtenek. Konsistenca laka je normalna (ne preredka in ne pregosta). Edini problem je bilo progasto nanašanje. Po treh nanosih so tudi proge izginile.

Deep Blue Sea in Caribbean Sea (na zgornji fotografiji) sta čudovita odtenka iz Show Your Feet linije. Oba se izredno lepo nanašata. Na fotografiji je en debelejši nanos vsakega.

Prav tako je novost “nadgradnja” linije Multi Dimension, kateri so dodali XXXL Shine. :cool: In z nadgradnjo se lahko veselimo veliko novih odtenkov. :w00t:

So Wanted (fotografija spodaj) je odtenek, katerega bodo veseli vsi, ki si srčno želijo odtenka Yummy Gummy iz Jelly Baby Trend Edition-a, saj gre za praktično identičen odtenek, če ne že identičen odtenek. Jaz ne vidim razlike med njima. Na fotografiji spodaj sta dva nanosa vsakega.

Flashy Pink (fotografija spodaj) je krem roza odtenek iz linije Show Your Feet. Na fotografiji spodaj sta dva nanosa.

Object Of Desire (fotografija spodaj) je oranžen odtenek z rdečim pridihom in drobnim srebrnim šimrom. Je zelo dobro pigmentiran in se lepo nanaša. Ob previdnem nanašanju, je dovolj en nanos. Na fotografiji spodaj sta dva nanosa.

Object Of Desire spominja na odtenek, ki gre iz prodaje, namreč Why Not? A v resnici si nista zelo podobna. Object Of Desire ima več rdeče v sebi. Why Not? je bolj oranžen in ima frost finiš, kar pomeni, da se proge od čopiča precej poznajo, medtem ko pri Object Of Desire ni opaznih nobenih prog.

Naslednje veselje za vse, ki neuspešno iščejo ali čakajo odtenek Very Berry iz Jelly Baby Trend Edition-a. V liniji Show Your Feet se je znašel odtenek z identičnim imenom, torej Very Berry. Naredila sem primerjavo med obema odtenkoma in ugotovila, da sta barvi praktično identični. Jaz med njima ne vidim razlike. Manjša razlika je v konsistenci, saj je Very Berry iz Show Your Feet linije gostejši in bolje pigmentiran od odtenka iz Jelly Baby linije.

Purple Magic je čudovit vijoličen odtenek z modrim pridihom iz Show Your Feet linije. Odtenek se izredno lepo nanaša. Na fotografiji sta dva nanosa.

Hotie iz XXXL Shine linije je v steklenični izredno podoben Purple Magic odtenku. V steklenični razlike med njima praktično nisem opazila. Razlika nastane šele, ko ju nanašamo. Hotie je namreč slabše pigmentiran in tako po dveh nanosih izgleda rahlo svetlejši od Purple Magic. Prav tako ima Hotie rahel frost finiš, ki ga Purple Magic nima. Oba odtenka se lepo nanašata. Razlika v barvi je majhna. Morda se boste lažje odločili za enega izmed njiju, če boste upoštevali, da ima Show Your Feet linija sploščen čopič in odtenki iz te linije so bolje pigmentirani. Hotie je po drugi strani malo svetlejši in morda si želite ravno tega.

Odtenka sem primerjala s prav tako čudovitima vijoličnima odtenkoma OPI – Purple With A Purpose in Jessica – Birds Of Paradise. Ugotovila sem, da sta oba odtenka svetlejša in imata manj modre v sebi. So pa čisto vsi štirje odtenki neverjetno lepi! :heart:

Na sliki zgoraj sta povsod dve plasti, le OPI je nanesen s tremi plastmi.

Za konec sem pustila nekaj bleščečega. :cool:

Na Essence stojalu sem našla Nail Art Glitter Topper – Shiny Star, ki vsebuje bleščice različnih velikosti in oblik. Med bleščicami se najdejo dokaj veliki kvadrati, srednje veliki in manjši šest ali osem kotniki in mini bleščice. V bleščicah se svetloba zanimivo odbija, saj bleščice delujejo skoraj kot mini ogledalca. :silly:

To je za danes vse. Gejba bo kmalu predstavila še drugi del novosti. :w00t: Do takrat pa me zanima vaše mnenje. Kaj menite o novostih, ki sem vam jih predstavila?
