Review: Essence Silver "marble mania" nail polish~

Remember I talked about getting the innovative use of the silver marble mania nail polish from Essence Cosmetics warehouse sale yesterday? Today is the review on the colour on nails!

So this is how it looks like in a bottle... Really shiny and reflective... (Like mirrors of yore haha)

And this is how it looks like on a plastic nail.

Pretty opaque for 1 to 2 coats. I really like the colour!!!! (Perfect for Christmas) Only gripe with it is that if you're not careful with applying it, or not skilled enough, you might create some streaks. But methinks it isn't too much of a problem. :)

Innovative use of Essence Silver Marble mania nail polish~

I went to the essence warehouse sale a couple of weeks back...

Essence is basically a cheap (and good) European cosmetic brand, very much like the "AC" brand in Japan. (I got a flower blush from AC from another warehouse sale but that's for another post). I bought 3 nail polishes - a nude pink from the ballerina collection, a silver from the marble mania collection and a bright pink!

Besides using them as what they are supposed to be used for (you can read rave reviews of essence's products from many other blogs so I shall not start on that for this post), I've used the silver nail polish for a different purpose - decorating Christmas cards! Let the picture (singular) do the talking!

Innovative right! I used a pencil that I don't want anymore to draw the snowflakes. Being the non artistic person I am, I'm actually quite proud of myself for thinking of using nail polish as a silver pen and actually drew the snowflakes quite well. At least, by my standards. XD

A pat on the back for me please! So, next time you know that essence's nail polishes can double up as a deco-pen! :D
