Swatches & comparisson: Essence Girls on tour LE polishes

I recently saw this LE in our store and I got all 4 polishes.
 This is what Essence says about them:
Ready for take off? Absolutely! With these four trendy and long-lasting nail polish colors. Rosé, purple, pink and green add a touch of color on your nails and thanks to their practical size, they’re perfect when you’re on tour with the girls.
And here's what I think of them:

•  01 Voyage, voyage

This polish dries soooo fast! I mean it, I waited no more then 5min between the coats, and that is that. On the picture you see three coats, no top coat. The applicaation was okay, but when I applied it, you could see streaks, but everything leveled out durig drying. This is the perfect bubblegum pink creme. It's so girly, I love it!
I compared it to the following:
Catrice Sweets for my sweets(pointer), Essie Knockout pout(middle), Sally Hansen Countess creme(ring) and Sally Hansen Prism frost(pinky)

Catrice is similar, but lighter, Essie is way brighter, Countess creme is more muted and darker and Prism frost is actually pretty close. It's a tad darker.

• 02 Go, sightseeing

This one has a bit runny formula. I've had some problems with the application because of this. I used three coats, no top coat on the pictures. It might be a good idea to use four, since I could still see a bit nail line IRL. Luckily this dries fast. It's pink with blue/purple metallic shimmer. I really like this colour!
I found these ones similar:

 Manhattan 57Q(pointer), which is more pink, but the shimmer is almost the same, Essence Most wanted(middle), that is way lighter, Color club Ultra violet(ring finger), that is actually completelly different in the colour and the shimmer, and Sally Hansen Vibe creme(pinky), that is close, but more vibrant.

• 03 Hop on, hop off!

This isn't accurate colour, but I just couldn't capture it =/ The colour is actually more cherry. Not completelly red, but going there. You see two coats on the picture, and another amazing polish!
The colour is actually very similar to Essence Yummy gummy(from Jelly baby LE), but that one is a jelly and Hop on, hop off! is a creme. I was looking and I couldn't find any other polish similar to this one in my stash.

• 04 Tickets, please!

It was so hard to capture to colour accuratelly =/
This are two coats, no top coat. When I was applying this polish I was suprised, but not in a nice way. I love the colour and application, but when I was polishing a bristle from the brush came off and stuck to my nail. I've never expirienced anything like that before! I hope it was just this one =/ Other than that, everything was fine. The polish goes on smoothly and 1thicker coat could be enough, but I did two thinner. It's a bit lighter in the bottle than on the nails, but the colour is still nice, a darker turquoise - green creme.
When I saw it in store I was sure, I have a colour at home that's the same. Guess what? I was wrong! The closest two I have are Sinful colours Rise and shine and Essence Green grass.

Green grass(on my ring finger) is darker and more muted, so they aren't all that close. Rise and shine(on my point finger) is lighter and it has shimmer. I'm glad I got this one, since I don't have anything like it.

All in all, these dry extremely fast, have an amazing formula and normal brush. I was surprised, since they are quite unique  - they are similar to some of the polishes I have, but no dupes here. If you ask me, I'd say get them if you can! =)

Ruby kisses "Look at me" purple and fun with striping tape

This is such an amazing polish! It's bright and it totally freaked out my camera, this is the closest I was able to get to true colour. It dries matte and if you apply top coat it darkens a bit. The application is easy and this are two coats on the picture.
And I had to add something. A while ago a girl from MUA posted her mani with striping tape and texture polish, and I knew I'll try it someday. And this was the day ;)

I used Misslyn Royal blue on top and I helped myself with striping tape. I like it, but it wasn't what I expected it to be. Maybe the colours were the problem? Anyway, I will try this again with some other colour under the texture and we'll see how I'll like that. But it is fun mani, I have to admit! What do you think?

Sally Hansen Iced cream matte

 I got this polish long time ago from a friend. It's a very light blue polish with shimmer. It dries matte. Application was on the difficult side, some brush strokes and it did need a rather long time to dry. But, the colour is gorgeous! I have four coats on the pictures, three would have been enough if I was carefull with the application. I'm not wearing top coat on the pictures. Maybe I'd get better results with spongin the colour. I'll have to try it next time. =)

Catrice - I scream: Ice cream and some nail art

This one is from Candy shock LE, and it's beautiful. See for yourself:

It actually reminds me of ice cream, even tho I've never seen an actual ice cream in this colour =) In the bottle you can see pink shimmer, that is not really visible on the nail, but I love this polish anyway. I don't know what's with me and this kind of colour, but I love almost every polish I have similar to this. The application was a bit harder, you have to be careful. This are three coats, but two would also be enough, I was clumsy.

I haven't done nail art in a while, so I didn't really have a lot of ideas. I decided to search online for some inspiration. I found this post from Nail by Kayla Shevonne and I decided to recreate it in my own version, since I liked hers so much.

 I love it! Unfortunately my top coat draged the black a bit, but it's not that bad IRL, so it doesn't bother me =) What do you think?
And here's what I used:

Poshe Basecoat, Essence Black is back, Catrice I scream: Ice cream, China glaze Shocking pink(neon), Essence Studio nails Better then gel nails top sealer high gloss, dotting tools

Because of this manicure I've decided I need to do more nail art. I've already forgotten how fun it is and how much I love it!

Misslyn - Royal Blue

Uh, I haven't been here for a long time. But I have a good reason - I was preparing for the most importaint exam in my life. Well, it's equaly importaint to all the others, but it is the only one I don't have a clue about and it is my last one. Also, I was organizing my polish collection, because I hated that it was so unorganized. Now, everything is where it should be and everything is written down. I will show that to you soon=)

But first, the most amazing polish I've seen in a while - Misslyn Royal blue from their Velvet diamond LE.

Two coats, no top coat. Can you see, how beautiful it is? I can't stop staring at my nails! This is just so beautiful. This is my first textured polish, and I adore it!! =) I think this is one of the polishes I'll wear as long as I'll be able(so, as long as it'll look at least decent, with no major chippings or tip wear). I hope it'll last long. Ah, my beauty <3

I'm also thinking of getting another one from this collection. This is the display:

Do you have any suggestions?
