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.
I have this nail polish and love it so much! It is perfect for every day and is a bit of a twist on the classic cream shade :) x
ReplyDeleteI love Essie neutral shades, they're the best :)

Thank you :)
DeleteI wish these were sold in my local Superdrug as I'd totally take up this offer!
ReplyDeleteMe too I had to order mine online!
DeleteHow long nail polish lasts is so different on people. The most I get is 1-2 days out of mine (and the 2nd day is normally grating on me as it's not quite right) I am always amazed by how many peopleget a week out of theirs. But I have 2 kids and a house to clean and I work, so I'm tough on my nail varnish!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely colour. Reminds me of OPI Tickle my France-y xx
You are so right that's why I'm not commenting on wear as I don't want to give people the wrong idea when like you I'm really hard on polish! Oh yes you are right :)
DeleteSUCH a gorgeous colour. I just went into muy local Boots and Superdrug to search for these, but I couldn't find them...I didn't actually know where to look! Is there a little essie counter? Or are they put with other things? xx
ReplyDeleteIt should just be a little stand with them on it? However i've been told it is only the bigger stores :(
DeleteThis colour looks so good with your skin tone
ReplyDeleteAww thank you :)
