Day 211) Me & My Ice cream Essence (swatches+nail art)

Today another trend edition.
"Me & My Ice cream" by Essence:

 

 

From left to right:

 

- 01 Ben & Cherries

- 02 Always in my mint

- 03 Ice, ice baby

- 04 Icylicious

 

Of course I did some single nail swatches:

 



First of all the colors are very light. You need at least 2 to 3 coats to get good coverage.
At the second thin coat I even questioned myself if Essence had changed the brushes, because I still could see some lines in it.
After 3 thin coats it looked great!
The colors are very sweet, I would say: "adorable".
I do think the light pink and lila look too much a like...especially when you use them close to each other (as on the picture) you only see a slight difference.
The finish is glossy (I didn't use any topcoat on the picture above) and there is some pearly shimmer in it.
This trend edition looks a lot like the limited edition "Candy Shock" by Catrice.
But who cares...you can never have enough light and bright colors (IMO)!

Then for the nail art. When I make a nail art using a limited (trend) edition I always like to paint something that links to the edition itself. "Me & My Ice cream" ...do I need to explain why I chose to do an ice cream nail art?'
