Essence Snow White TE Swatches (Part 3)

Hey guys! Today I have the last part of my Essence Snow White Trend Edition (TE) swatches for you! :) You can go here to see the first part, and here for the second if you missed them!

Thanks again to Sharon who helped me get my hands on the rest of these babies! :D

First is Bashful, a gorgeous green with a gold shimmer! This was pretty opaque in one coat but I did two.
2 coats, no topcoat.

Bashful - artificial lighting
Bashful - sunlight
Doc is a pretty basic orange creme. Kinda bright too. It was a little thick, like most polishes in this collection but not hard to apply. :)
2 coats, no topcoat.
Doc - artificial lighting
Doc - sunlight
Snow White is a really gorgeous red jelly. The glitter toppers, as well as this red polish in the 10mL bottles, all have a nice wide brush. :) Can't wait to try a jelly sandwich with this one!
2 coats, no topcoat.

Snow White - artificial lighting (look at that shine!!)
Snow White - sunlight
Well that's the end of my Snow White swatches! I love all of the colours and I'm so happy I own the whole collection! :)
I also have a few of the polishes from this collection available on my BLOG SALE right now if anyone's interested!

Essence Snow White TE Swatches (Part 2)

Hi guys!
Today I'm showing you the second part of my Essence Snow White Trend Edition Swatches! :) You can go here if you haven't seen the first part.
I've already showed you two of the 'Dwarfs' and two glitter toppers. Today I'll be showing you the last glitter topper and 2 of the 'Dwarfs'. :)

Thank you to Sharon who helped me get my hands on the rest of these babies! :D

If you didn't see my Aussie Christmas post yesterday, you won't know that I have kind of changed my nail shape! I rounded them a bit. Still not 100% sure how I feel about them, they might have to grow a bit more before I like them.

Dopey is a really gorgeous pale lavender with really pretty silver micro glitter. This one is probably the sheerest of the collection but I don't mind that at all. :) I think it needs to be sheer so that the micro glitter can show through the base.
3 coats, no topcoat.
Dopey - sunlight
Dopey - artificial light
Evil Queen is a chunky purple glitter in a clear base. This is made up of only large purple glitters, which I personally love! I love huge glitter pieces! The formula on this was a bit thick but not too hard to work with. The glitters did want to clump together in certain areas but it wasn't too hard to move them around.
1 coat over Dopey, no topcoat.
Evil Queen - sunlight
Evil Queen - artificial light
Grumpy is a super bright cobalt blue. This one is supposedly very similar to Nails Inc Baker Street if you want a dupe of that for a much cheaper price! :) The formula on this was great! No complaints here!
2 coats, no topcoat.
Grumpy - in the shade
Grumpy - artificial light
Happy is a butterscotch sort of yellow. Very different from every other yellow polish I've ever seen! This colour actually almost matches 'Happy' from Snow White's hat! Some of the other colours in the collection don't match the character they're named after, though. This polish was a bit thicker than I usually like, but not too bad. I'll add some thinner I think.
2 coats, no topcoat. It looked a little streaky in person, so I probably could've used a third coat, maybe.
Happy - in the shade
Happy - artificial light

Overall my favourite of these four is definitely Dopey, I love lavender colours like this! I think I need a back up of that one because I'm in love. Evil Queen has to be my favourite of the glitter toppers in this collection!

Also, a reminder! My HTF China Glaze "OMG" auction ends tonight at 11:59pm - which is about 12 hours from when I'm uploading this post :) Go and put in your bid if you're interested HERE!

Essence Snow White TE Swatches (Part 1)

Hello my lovelies! :D I'm sorry if any of you don't like when people post more than once a day. I've been trying to space my posts out as much as possible.

I am super super super excited about today's post! I have a review of the Essence Snow White TE (Trend Edition) for you! :D The Disney lover in me is insanely excited to be showing you these!!! :) I'll be posting them in 3 parts.
In the Snow White TE, there is 3 glitter toppers (10ml), 1 normal size polish (10ml), and 7 'dwarfs' (5ml), along with some nail art stickers and nail file.

This is Sleepy*, a baby blue with a really pretty blue sheen through it. The formula on this one was kinda weird. On the first coat, it was very thin, but when I added the second, it was very thick. o.O lol. Nothing too hard to work with, but a little thicker than I prefer. I think I'll add some thinner to this one.
2 coats, no topcoat.

Sleepy - sunlight
Sleepy - artificial light
This is Prince Charming*, a mix of small holographic and larger blue glitter in a clear base. This is a really pretty glitter! I didn't have any problems applying it.
1 coat over Sleepy*, no topcoat.

Prince Charming - sunlight
Prince Charming - artificial light
This is Sneezy*, a warm brown with silver micro-glitters through it. I don't usually go for browns but this was lovely! Definitely something I can see myself wearing in winter or autumn!
2 coats, no topcoat.

Sneezy - sunlight
Sneezy - artificial light
This is The Huntsman*, a mix of tiny and larger gold (leaning on the copper-y side) glitters with sparse large holographic flakes throughout in a clear base. I think this is gorgeous! I think I'd prefer it if the flakes were only small and contained no huge ones (see ring finger), however. Though the large flakes are pretty sparse so you could probably apply it avoiding the large flakes.
1 coat over Sneezy*, no topcoat.

The Huntsman - sunlight
The Huntsman - artificial light
This TE also offers some super cute nail art stickers, and a nail file!
The nail file has a picture of the Evil Queen on one side, and Snow White on the other! :) So cute. This file is quite nice. It's a little more coarse than I like to use on my fingernails but I'll probably use it for pedicures! It has 2 sides. Side 1 is for 'shortening' and Side 2 is for 'shaping'.

Nail File
The nail stickers that come with this TE are so cute! There's lots of stickers to choose from, including all 7 Dwarfs, Snow White and the Evil Queen along with some other cute designs. :)

The design ideas on the back of the package are really cute! I'll have to try them out some time.

Overall So far, I'm really impressed! Although I had a tiny issue with the formula on Sleepy*, I absolutely love the colour! And although Sneezy* is not something I'd usually wear, it's gorgeous!
I can't wait to show you the rest of this collection!

Stay tuned for the swatches of the other 7 polishes in this collection over the next week or so! :) I'll be posting 2 more parts!

A reminder about my China Glaze "OMG" HTF Auction! It ends tomorrow night at 11:59pm South Australia time! Go HERE to bid!
