essence Effect Nail Polish Review- Sparkling Sugar and Glitter Jewels

This season trendy jewel tones are in style and I love all the glitz and glamour! I am big fan of essence cosmetics nail lacquers and I've acquired quite a collection of these mini bottles that are perfect for travel and very affordable!

This September Toronto hosted their world renowned film festival, commonly known as (TIFF) and all the stars came out to play. I attended a glam red carpet event and I made sure my nails were dazzling with the Glitter Jewels effect nail polish fittingly named “Party in a Bottle!” This shade is my favorite in the line and contains both large and small fragments of beautiful chunky blue-green glitter! 

Because the glitter dries quickly you can layer the polish for a full wash of sparkle without any thickness or bubbles. I like to apply the polish heavily because when my manicure starts to wear away there is so much glitter that you can't really tell when some has chipped off! When removing the polish it helps to soak nails thoroughly but I was able to lift up the edges and peel the glitter completely off without any nail polish remover.

You can wear the polish by itself and layer it densely (as seen in the photo below) or you can apply it lightly for a subtle effect.

Glitz and Glam is a dazzling pink glitter with a sparkling translucent, blue and silver base.

These lacquers are also available in sugar effects and a fun polka dots finish. The sugar effects are also sparkly and eye catching but they contain ultra fine particles for a less flashy look.  

The polish can be worn alone or paired with solid shades and the chunky glitter formulas are quite long-lasting. I didn't have trouble getting the glitter to apply consistently and application was simple. These lacquers are great for parties and the holiday season! They retail for just $2.99 each and you can find them at Shoppers Drug Mart, Ulta Beauty- for U.S residents and select retailers in Europe.

And now for some great lip products to go with your extravagant nails! If you haven't checked out the essence long-lasting lipsticks yet then you are missing out! These are some of my favorite drug store lip colors because of the beautiful shades, great formula and affordability! This fall essence has released some deep trendy hues and the lipsticks retail for just $2.99 each.
