For me...well as far as nail polish shades are concerned I can not pass up on a good cornflower blue,
I'm obsessed and own a good few and do still feel there is room in my collection for a few more.
In fairness this too shall past as last year I was all about neon pink polish haha!
Essie Lapiz of Luxury is of course a cornflower blue, a lovely mix of blue and lilac
and the perfect option for those like myself who don't really like full on blue shades.
I will be the first to admit that Essie Lapiz of Luxury is not a completely original shade
for instance it is pretty similar to China Glaze Secret Peri-Winkle
but i'm sure you will agree that it is a lovely fresh shade none the less.
As far as my experience with the Essie Diffusion line has went this has to be one
of the the thinner formulated shades and does streak quite easily.
To get full opaque coverage I found this shade to require three coats
but as with the other shades in the range the layers did dry fairly quickly
and once dry Lapiz of Luxury has a soft sheen finish that is typical of a crème polish.
If you have read the other reviews you will know I hate the brush in the diffusion line,
the brush is too broad and makes a holy mess of things in my opinion anyway.
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.
all these posts about essie are gonna make me go out and buy the whole range. such a pretty blue reminds me a lot of rimmel's aqua cool

DeleteLove Essie Polishes although sometimes I find they take forever to dry! Love that shade though - very nice for the summer.
ReplyDeleteah really I can't say I have had that problem yet but knowing my luck the next shade I test will be so slow haha :)
DeleteI think the new brush has mixed reactions. I think people are either loving it of hating it.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that Essie is now more available. Always put me off buying as I would have to hunt for them. xx

I agree but it is worth it for the shade :)
DeleteHi.....! So pretty. I really love these colors. :)
ReplyDeleteAh that's a shame, the original Lapis of Luxury they changed the name, I have no idea why lol) had a lovely skinny brush and was a jelly finish, super duper pretty! Thanks for the heads up, I was tempted to get a back-up bottle but if it's changed, there's no point! It still looks pretty though xx
ReplyDeletethe name sounds so pretty. just for the name only i want this polish but i shouldn't as i already blue bell and beth's blue xx
