Here are the polishes I purchased:
I didn't get the liquid gold because I have plenty of golds and a lot which are simular to the Essence one.
I also didn't get the other products from this line. For me they were just not so interesting.
Here are the swatches of the polishes that I have:
I'm not really a fan when it comes to polishes like this.
It's a sheer polish containing different sized and colored glitters.
In the bottle it looked like a purple but it actually is more like a dark pink.
This jelly doesn't go on smoothly and it will take at least 3 to 4 coats to get it somewhat opaque.
Maybe it would work fine as a topcoat.
I was really surprised by this polish.
I've been trying thermo polishes before but only when I held them in hot/cold water I could see a change. You had to look really close to see a slight difference between tip and the rest of the nail.
This creamy polish went on very smoothly. One coat was just a little too sheer for my kind of taste but I already saw a big difference in color between the tip and the rest of the nail.
Two coats gives a nice coverage.
Hot = pink
Cold = purple
This polish really works! The best thermo effect I have seen so far!
I did use a basecoat but I'm not sure about a topcoat and the effect it may have on the thermo effect.
Definitely a favorite!
A smooth two coater.
An iridescent polish with a beautiful shimmer.
The picture doesn't even do it justice...I kept turning my hand to look at all the beautiful color changes.
Another favorite!
A silver shimmery polish containing a lot of holo glitters.
The camera had trouble catching the holo glitters but believe me: this contained a lot of holo.
And as you might know by now: I'm a big holo fan.
Gorgeous!
This teal liquid sand goes on very smooth.
Two coats is enough for good coverage.
Besides the subtile sand texture it also contains some shimmer.
Beautiful color but sand effect wise it could have been better.
The galaxy flakes and thermo effect were nice to try but for me not really keepers.
The rest I will use more!
