Essie – It’s Genius – Swatch and Review

Happy Thursday!

So I plan on mostly focusing on individual swatches for now, with maybe some collection reviews later on. I don’t want to be bound by just the the new polishes that come out.

Sometimes you’re in the store looking at a polish, and you want to see a swatch, but people only really swatch new polishes.

I’m hopping this is my remedy to that.

Here’s a polish my hubby picked up at HEB for me. He does that….. pretty much the best husband in the freaking world.

Please excuse the bumpy bubbly parts – I haven’t quite figured out why it’s happening, since the only thing I’ve changed about my routine is my base coat. I’m sure that’s why, but seeing as how the base coat I’ve been using is Nail Envy, and I need my nails to strengthen up, so I don’t feel like I can change it up any time soon 😦 I’ll figure something out… maybe I just need to let it dry longer and use a ridge filler in between.

Back to the polish: The formula on this is AWESOME it’s a two coater, and the perfect viscosity, not too thick not to thin. I really love the slight goldish shimmer to it as well.

Let me know if this is something you guys might want to check out!
