ESSIE ON A SILVER PLATTER REVIEW FROM THE ENCRUSTED COLLECTION

Never really been an Essie girl, and always stayed true to my OPI ways. However, I made a cheeky exception when this gleaming beauty caught my eye. Hovering around Boots' 3 for 2 section I noticed I hadn't checked out Essie yet - And saw this little beauty sitting on the shelf. How could I refuse? This gorgeous unique glitter from the Encrusted collection is named On A Silver Platter - It's so gorgeous and expensive looking, it deserves it!
These photos really don't give this polish justice. With just two thick coats I had gorgeously sparkly nails to hit the town. If you apply thinly, it's still sheer, but over white, gold, navy or black this looks really pretty. But with two thick coats you get full coverage. The glitter spread effortlessly and evenly over the nail. The glitter in this polish is to die for. The blue hex glitter has a pretty rainbow holographic like shimmer to it, while the gold shimmery base has an almost white shimmer to it in certain lights - Definitely not a polish I can think of a dupe for! The only down side to this polish if you're wearing it alone is the life of it. By the end of the day I had bad chips, and the day after it just didn't want to stay on. However, it has quick drying time, so it's perfect for a one evening wear.

What do you think of this polish?
And what's your favourite Essie polish?
Grab this gorgeous shade from Boots for £9.99.
Hurry, it's limited edition!
Thanks for reading!!

  1. I'm an OPI girl too, but I am loving the colours that I am seeing with Essie nails at the moment, they have some gorgeous one's available!

    Shame it didn't last long on your nails, but it does look beautiful, and maybe not such a bad thing, as sparkly nail varnish can be a bit of a poo to remove!
