As you can see in the title of this post, I'll be posting one of my favourite products every Friday. These will include current flings and long-time lovers alike. :)
Today I have for you one of my favourite red polishes: Essie Up's.
This is three coats of Up's and a coat of Seche Vite on top (on the third-ish day of wear, hence the scratches and semi-dull surface....I'm not really making the best case for this polish here, am I?). Excuse the not-so-great pic; took this really quickly on my way out. (Also, yes, my skin is actually that pale.)
As you can see, Up's is a rich, blue-toned red jelly. I'm not much of a red person, to be honest, and the reds I do like are usually shimmers or glitters, but every once in a while I'll crave a rich red polish. This is one of the very few reds I have and the only one I wear regularly. (Jellies own my soul, even when they're a pain to apply.)
I love to wear this with Illamasqua lipstick in Box. Makes for a pretty awesome retro, diva/pin-up-esque makeup!
Happy Friday, everyone!
Wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI wishI could wear that color :(
ReplyDeleteCute, this is a wonderful IN YOUR FACE red ^_^
ReplyDeleteSchöne rote Farbe, passt dir super! :) Sieht dem Nagellack Essie Limited Addiction sehr ähnlich!
ReplyDelete@sonidlo: Thank you! xx
ReplyDelete@Christina: Meh. I wish I could wear those gorgeous pinks you can wear, so shut up. ;P
@FOREVER '92: That's why I love this polish. It's in your face without being bright!
@ritterbraten: Dankeschön :) Das dachte ich auch als ich deinen Post gelesen habe, aber Up's transformiert sich leider im Schatten nicht so schön.
