Essie Stylenomics...

Are you ready for Fall yet??? I am! Although this will be my first year ever experiencing Fall since we don't have "seasons" in Florida (Florida seasons go like this: hot, disgustingly hot, hot, kinda hot.. lol). So I'm looking forward to participating in this season everyone calls Fall ;)

 Essie Stylenomics


Miss Fancy Pants...

 Miss Fancy Pants is an opaque beige with a hint of grey. The formula was very nice and it applied smooth and even, it was pretty much opaque in 1 coat but 2 coats makes it even and completely opaque.

Don't Sweater It...

 Don't Sweater It is a darker more brown version of Miss Fancy Pants. Again this a an opaque creme that applied very smooth and even.


Recessionista..


 Recessionista is a deep purple creme with a red base. This one seemed a bit thicker but still applied nicely, however it did need 2 coats to make it opaque and even.

Head Mistress..



 Head Mistress is a beautiful candy apple red. This one applied amazingly and was opaque in 2 coats. If you are fair to light, like me, then this is a must have red! I'm not a red fan but just like having that perfect red lipstick everyone needs that perfect red polish and for me this one is it! 


Skirting The Issue...


 Skirting The Issue is a blood red crelly (creme+ jelly). This was a tricky one to apply, some parts of the nail would look sheer while other parts would be opaque. It took 3 coats for the color to become opaque and even. Was not a fan of this color.

Stylenomics...

Stylenomics is a deep forest green creme. This is a pretty green but if you apply it too thick it's one of those colors that can be mistaken for black. The formula on this one was great and 2 coats made it opaque and even.

Overall: This collection is really nice and great for Fall. All of them, with the exception of Skirting The Issue applied smooth, even and were opaque in 2 coats. The formula on these is great, not too thin but not thick and goopy. And they are super shiny! For some of them it was hard to pick a good picture because the reflection of the background was so strong, but I'm not complaining. =)

**This collection was provided by the lovely people at Stixie an online beauty store.
*sidenote: the packaging was amazing, I've never received nail polish so well packed!*

  1. No, I'm NOT ready for fall :( But I like the way these polishes shine. Color-wise I see nothing that makes me think: yay a new shade, so I'm probably not going to get any of these...
    Thanks for good swatches!
