Orly Happily Ever After

Hi all!

A year ago, Orly came out with the Once Upon A Time Collection and I loved it! I ended up buying five out of six polishes and I'm planning on getting the last one as well. It sort of grew on me.. Anyway, here's Happily Ever After!

Orly Happily Ever After, three coats in daylight. Happily Ever After is a gorgeous berry colored polish with magenta shimmer in it. The shimmer shows more clearly in the bottle, but it shows itself when light hits it. I love this secret feature!

Application was good. I love the Orly handle since it's rubber so it's really easy to work with. Why aren't there more polish companies with these kind of great handles? Anyway, the polish went on smoothly and almost applied itself. Drying time was good.

Thanks for stopping by!

Essence Hot Stuff

Vandaag wederom een Essence lak: Hot Stuff! Ik weet zo uit mijn hoofd niet of deze uit het assortiment gaat, maar dat zal ik even opzoeken en zodra ik het weet, zal ik deze post even updaten.

Today I have another Essence polish: Hot Stuff! I don't know if this one is discontinued as well, but I will check and update this post as soon as I find out.


Essence Hot Stuff, drie laagjes in daglicht. Dit is een berrykleurige jelly, of in ieder geval met een jelly-achtige finish. Een leuke lak, maar naar mijn idee niet ontzettend bijzonder of uniek. Applicatie was okee, All Access was zeker een stuk beter en droogde daarbij ook sneller.

Essence Hot Stuff, three coats in daylight. This is a berrycolored jelly, or a creme with a jelly-like finish. It's nice, but not that great or unique in my opinion. Application was OK, All Access definitely applied a lot better and dried quicker as well.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend! I uploaded my post for tomorrow already, since I won't have time to swatch again this weekend. I cannot reply to your comments today and tomorrow, but I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks for stopping by!
