The Essie Virgin Snow Collection for Winter 2015 seemed like shades I would be interested in, so I made sure to buy the set. The collection is comprised of pastels, reds, and a couple shimmery polishes. Take a look at the pics and I'll tell you if I'm happy with my purchase or not!

Essie Virgin Snow Winter 2015 |
Apres-Chic: platinum metallic. Two coats, no top coat. This is a great formula for a platinum metallic. Even though I'm not usually a fan of metalllics, I like this one because it's a great base for my favorite glitters and nail art.

Haute Tub: black with purple shimmers. Two coats, no top coat. The shimmer gets a bit lost in this one. I wanted to like it, but I didn't. I have a few black with purple shifting shimmer polishes and the shimmer does not get lost. I'll show you in a future blog post a comparison.

Virgin Snow: pale lavender. Pale isn't the word, this is white with a hint of lavender. I love this. Two coats, plus top coat. I didn't realize my top coat had left a bubble on my middle finger, sorry about that. Did you rub your screen to get the dot off? Ha!

While these shades aren't earth shattering, I appreciate their great formulas and applications. My favorites are Peak Show and Virgin Snow because they look great on their own but they are also great for nail art bases. I have already completed a nail art look with Virgin Snow that I'll be posting to my Instagram soon.

ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty!
DeleteThese aren't super original shades. I feel like Essie hasn't been doing great collections lately. However they all look nice on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm glad the formula was great for you. Anytime I give in and buy the formulas are crap. I'm hoping they continue to get better. I love creams and these make me feel like I need them!
ReplyDeleteI used to feel the Essie formulas were to watery and tough to work with. These were not like that at all.
DeleteThe Reds look so freaking incredible on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeletePeak Show and Virgin Snow are my favorites from this collection. I've been liking Essie collections lately.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I love that they added pastels to a holiday collection.
DeletePeak Show looks interesting, those pale pinks tend to have awful formulas, I'm glad to read this one doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI love milky pinks. A lot have tough formulas and I'm glad this one doesn't.
