NOTD : Navigate her!

Back with another nail post featuring my first ever Essie nail polish. Essie is quite a popular brand originating from the US and has become increasingly popular these past few years in the UK. I first heard of Essie from the blogosphere but found their polishes just abit too expensive (usually retail for about £8 a bottle) to find them worth trying. Also I've read that they are incredibly streaky to apply.

Whilst surfing the internet I happened to glance upon an Essie polish called Navigate Her and completely fell in love with the colour. I had to have it! So did a quick google search and managed to find it for only £2.99 on this website. Postage was only £1.95 and it arrived a couple of days later.

I found the application a little tricky, if you applied too much pressure with the brush it was streaky but with a light hand application was a breeze. I used two coats and applied Sally Hansen's Advanced Hard as nails on top. The above picture was taken after 5 days of wear and apart from my index finger (where I've actually broken my nail) there's been no chipping. I'm probably going to remove it just from boredom but I'm sure this could easily last another few days! I'm very impressed by this polish and am definately going to be repurchasing some more Essie!
