Comparison: Essence Mr. Big and Essence Hot Stuff


Hello girls! I decided to do another comparison but this time with two more or less similar colors.
The first one is Essence Twins Mr. Big and the second one is Essence Multi dimension Hot Stuff. 
They're both two coaters and both have a shiny finish but Mr. Big is just a tad more dense. I've used no top coat on the pictures. 

The bottles:


Thumb & index: Hot Stuff
Middle & pinkie: Mr. Big


As you can see they look similar in shadow but on light the difference is very clear. 

Which one is your favourite?

Comparison: CG Blue Sparrow (neon) & Essence Underwater & Essence Bonnie


The last time I wanted to have blue nails I have discovered I have three blues and I wanted to compare them.
So here they are.

From left to right:
China Glaze Blue Sparrow (neon)
Essence Underwater
Essence Bonnie

All of them are two coaters except for Bonnie which is an one coater.
The CG Blue Sparrow is really watery (you have to be careful),  Essence Bonnie is very dense (but just enough) while Essence Underwater is something in between. As you can see they have really different textures as well :) CG has got big glitter in it (light blue) and dries in an almost satin finish, Underwater has got small shimmer in it and it dries glossy, while Bonnie has got no glitter or shimmer and it dries glossy as well. 

In all of the pictures there is no top coat used.


Which one is your favourite?

Comparison: Essence Joe and Essence Date me!


My sister Tamara asked me to bring home the nail polish Joe, to do a comparison between it and The One and Only. In the meanwhile she compared The One and Only with Date me! So, that gave me an idea :) Now that I have Joe and I have Date me! and since I'm hating my current manicure .... hmmm :)
So here it is a comparison of Joe and Date me! :)

Joe is a warm lilac color (you can't really tell from the pictures) while Date me! is a light (pastel) lavender purple.

See it for yourself:

This picture was taken under natural light and the pink undertone in Joe is best visible.
Thumb & middle & pinkie = Joe
Index & ring = Date me!

Artificial light

Glamorized :)

I've stamped a flowery pattern on all my fingers using Essence stampy set.
I've used Joe for index & ring finger and Date me! on middle & pinkie :)





Overall: I love Joe, since I don't have anything similar but Date me! is also a very lovely color.
