piCture pOlish Desire

Hey guys!

I finally got piCture pOlish Desire (after being in love with this stunning shade for almost a year) and today I would like to share a swatch and review with you guys!
Desire is a polish with a deep raspberry red base with a purple to burnt orange multichrome shimmer and scattered holo.

The formula is amazing - it is butter-y smooth and easy to apply. The opacity is good and it is opaque in two coats.

piCture pOlish Story

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the awesome piCture pOlish Story to share with you!
Story is a dark teal blue magnetic holo.

The formula is great and it is easy to apply. It is nearly opaque in one coat, which is amazing, but I used two coats to enhance the magnetic effect. The magnetic effect is fantastic and I love how it looks on the nails!

I am in love with this magnetic holo!

Essence True Love

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Essence True Love!
True Love is a red-tones berry crelly (creme/jelly) polish.

The formula was great. It was smooth and easy to apply. It was a little on the thin side, but nothing too bad. The opacity was amazing and I reached full opacity with two easy coats. Look how shiny it is!
