With the new diffusion line hitting the stores I enviably picked up a good few shades
from Superdrug as they were and still are on a 3 for 2 offer.
I wanted a shade to rival my beloved OPI Barefoot in Barcelona
and found Essie Eternal Optimist to be just that - I may favour the Essie shade a little more
than I do OPI Barefoot in Barcelona...oops!


Essie Eternal Optimist is a dusky rose nude shade with a slight yellow tone
that is perfect for day time wear or for those who like to look polished
and don't really wear brights/darks, it is an understated shade that is very classic.
I really enjoy shades such as Essie Eternal Optimist as they are effortless to wear
and pretty much go with most skin tones and clothing choices.


Essie Eternal Optimist is fairly thin and did require three coats to become opaque,
the coats did dry fairly quickly and in my opinion was completely worth the wait.
It applies fairly streak and has a soft creme finish.
Admittedly I am still no fan of the wide brush and find I make more of a mess
than I usually do.

Have you picked up any of the shades from the Essie diffusion line?

Nail Polish Disclaimer - I will no longer be commenting on the wear of nail polishes
unless it chips instantly etc as I change my nail colour too frequently (sometimes daily),
to comment properly on the wear and as we all use different techniques such as top coats/base coats
I don't feel that my comments on wear time are helpful in any way.
