NOTD with Essie Van D'Go

Ever since I saw this gorgeous shade on 'chelle's blog a few days ago I knew I had to have it. So off to my local Myer I went and came home with this stunning colour.

It's a lovely peachy pink cream colour that is perfect for those days when you want to look polished but can't be bothered making an effort.

It's actually my first Essie nail polish. Yes I know, I can't believe it either! I'm quite impressed with the application of this particular shade. I used 3 light coats in these pictures, and they dried in no time at all.

And here's a picture where I went a bit "artsy" and almost strangled the poor rose from our garden. It is a great colour match though!

Have you tried Essie nail polishes? What's your favourite shade?

  2. Anni - thanks babe, that's exactly what I thought.

    Kikoprincess - it's $18.95 at Myer, quite pricey I reckon. You can prob get it cheaper online on ebay.

  3. I only started buying Essie about 2 months ago and I'm quietly hooked - they have so many pretty pinks/red/corals.

    I picked up most of mine from eBay because I don't think they're worth $19 a pop. eBay prices run at about $6-8 a bottle + P&P

  11. Pretty color! I like Essie's polishes but wish their brush was a bit wider. I do like using the smaller brush when my nails are shorter though.

  12. I have two Essie polishes: angora cardi (a shade of mauve) and rose bowl (more of an azalea, if you ask me). I think they are both gorgeous, and I love how they go on. Not streaky, and they don't get gluggy (as you say ;-) ) Of course, over here in the States we pay much less for these--$8 - $9.

  14. I have not yet tried any Essie polishes, but am dying to! I have noticed that Hairhouse Warehouse now sell them, and they have released a summer gift box with four bright colours. Am thinking I might start with that... e. Xx
