Sasatinnie - FCW033






Sasa is a chain of beauty stores across Asia. I got this in China. The bottle fools you! The 2nd nail shows one coat. The other nails are about 5 or 6!!. Still, as a very translucent jelly effect, it was quite sweet. Just not quite my kind of thing. I really loved the colour in the bottle. It's a greyish lilac and has blue/green iridescent glass fleck in it. If only that was the colour it came out as! Very watery formulation, but a nice brush. Could work with this all day. Very quick drying, but what can you expect of a polish that is so thin? I dunno, Sasatinne.. I am not quite convinced.

Essence colour & go - 86 a lovely secret



You can get these from Target and Priceline. They are in a 5ml size, with a semi flat brush, 3mm wide square tipped. It's quite a good brush to work with although I find the whole handle a bit on the short side and not so good for control. 

This colour is a very nice lilac with violet shimmer. There are also blue specks! This looks really nice on. The speckles give it a duck egg kind of look. I've done the 3rd finger in one coat so you can see it goes on quite sheer but still pretty evenly, which I was surprised about. I really like the formulation, very smooth and easy to apply. It took about 3 or 4 coats to get opaque. It did wear quickly though, as you can see on the tip of the fourth finger. That was about 1 day on.

Loreal Color Riche - 610 Rebel Blue




This new range is a 5ml offering and I found these in Priceline last week. Rebel Blue is a midtoned blue with blue iridescent shimmer throughout. However this sadly was not very apparent on the finished coat. Formula is a bit thicker than I like using but for the very careful it might be a one coat wonder. It has a 5mm flat brush with rounded end. I do not like using these!!! Two people commented that they liked it on the first day. To be honest, it was not really a shade that I enjoyed having on. It is eye catching, but it could have been so much more. The bottle lies!! But I do love the size. I grazed over the other shades on offer but only got one other, being Green Couture... Hope to try that next week.

Someone joked that I looked like the lid of the office pens, so there you go, a possible comparison of what this colour is like in real life!
