Nail of the Week: essence Re-Mix Your Style Nail Polish in 05 Maybe I'm Amazed
Hi y'all! Just gonna share the polish I'll be sporting for the next few days. This is one of the polishes I got from essence's Re-Mix your Style collection (released 2011). The nail polishes were on sale in Watsons Takashimaya so I thought to pick up a few.
Maybe I'm Amazed is a pretty purple, orchid-y shade. My eyes might be fooling me but it seems that this polish has a pinkish/pink-red undertone to it. I really like this color as it somewhat fits any season. I wore this last summer and here I am wearing it again during the rainy season. Anyhow, I do have some issues with it. It's somewhat sheer and patchy. Just when you thought you coated a nail perfectly, a spot appears out of nowhere, making you feel inadequate in applying nail polish. Haha! But hey, nothing a 2nd or 3rd layer can't cover up right?
I applied three coats of polish to achieve a dark plummy color on my nails, the shade I desire. On the photos above, my polish looks brighter. That's what I'm talking about the polish fitting in any season. When it's bright and sunny, the shade looks like a pretty purple-pink polish but when it's a bit dark and there's no sunlight involved, it looks plummy. Application might be a bit tricky but in my opinion, the trouble's worth it.
