Date in the moonlight

With the new Essence polishes that were just released came a lovely navy shimmer called "date in the moonlight". This polish is a lovely navy colour with subtle blue shimmer. It is a great colour, sparkly and glossy :)

This polish which is part of the new Essence range consists of the new formula. I am really pleased with the new formula (thus far, anway). The formula wasn’t thick and wasn’t too thin, on a continuum I would probably say it is slightly leaning to towards the thin end. The formula was easy to work with and dried quickly.

With the new range also came with a new brush and bottle shape. The new bottles are larger. The old bottles were 5ml and cost $2.55, the new bottles cost $2.75 but you get 8ml. I love how the new bottles are the same colour as the polish they contain which makes them easy to find : )  The new brush is interesting to say the least…. I haven’t decided if I like it yet, it is quite wide and an unusual shape. I think I will have to use it a couple of times to decide.

Overall I really like this polish even though the shimmer wasn’t as prominent as I wanted it to be. It is a gorgeous navy polish, very versatile and dries quickly. It is best applied in two thin coats and I am definitely glad it is in my stash of polishes!!!
