Essie Borrowed and Blue + glitter tips


As an impulse purchase, I've picked up Essie Borrowed and Blue, a very light pastel blue with a creme finish.
The formula was streaky and the color looked chalky, which was a disappointment. However, it did dry fast, which is always a plus. The color itself is less awesome on my hands than it is in the bottle, so I've decided to do a little bit of a glitter gradient and a nail sticker! This seemed to have made it a little more "interesting" am reminds me of fresh linen drying outside in the summer... 
Overall, don't like the color with my skin, don't like the formula, wish it was a little bit less chalky, but maybe I can use it for stamping!

  3. I love what you did with B&B, it looks so elegant and delicate :)
    Maybe the new light blue Essie would have been a better choice for you? I think it's called Bikini so Teeny or something xD

    1. Thanks! Yeah. Essies tend to be hit n miss, I should've looked up reviews, sometimes impulse buys can end like this :/ But that's okay!
