Essie mint candy apple

I've always wanted a huuuuge Essie collection. Until a few weeks ago, I couldn't find their nail polishes ANYWHERE (boo living in such a small country), so you can already imagine what my reaction was when I spotted the Essie diffusion line in my local drugstore! I literally jumped and squealed 'Omg Essie!' (my mom was soooo embarassed, haha) and ran towards the counter. There were so many colours to choose from, so eventually, I chose 'Mint Candy Apple'. I already heard sooo much of that shade and it just seemed to be everyone's favourite, so I took it up and payed and then it was mine. Mine! I finally have an Essie nail polish! (I seem to make such a big deal out of it and 'normal' people always look at me like; what are you so happy about? It's just a nail polis/lipstick/*insertbeautyproducthere*) I took my other nail polish off and applied it, and it applied like an absolute dream! I don't know about the original brushes but they seemed to be a lot thinner than the diffusion line ones. People who already have some shades from the original line bought the same shads but from the diffusion line, just because it applies so well!
The colour is just lovely. It turned opaque after one coat already, but I applied another one because I always do that haha. I then applied a transparant top coat and the nails are still going strong! They haven't chipped since Wednesday, which I'm very happy about. I really want some other shades! I'm wearing Lapiz of Luxury right now, which is also gaaaawgeous :)

What are your favourite Essie shades? And do you prefer OPI or Essie?

OPI do you lilac it?

I am currently obsessed with pastel colours. I think they are lovely for spring, so I think it's needless to say that I can't wait for spring to come! I want the sun to shine so that everyone gets happier again, I want to leave the house without having to wear a huge fluffy coat and having to hide my face in my scarf, I want to hear the sound of birds when I wake up, I want to have a nice and cute little picnick with my boyfriend. So when I saw this nailpolish, it immediately reminded me of spring and lovely lavender fields in France!
Okay, so I have to admit that this is only my second nailpolish by OPI. I bought my first one, Last friday night by the Katy Perry collection, back in the Christmas break with money I got for Christmas. I really liked the quality of it back then, but I really couldn't justify spending €14 on just a nailpolish.
Being a shopaholic like I am, you can imagina that I really couldn't resist getting this one when I saw it in the shop. I took it and immediately rushed to the till, feeling a little bit guilty as I took the money out of my wallet and gave it to the lady, but the guiltiness disappeared as soon as I applied it on my nails.
It's such a lovely lavender-ish colour, perfect for spring! It's also really long-lasting. I usually find that most of my (cheap ass) nailpolishes wear of rather quickly because I'm not very carefull with things, but this one lasts me for ages! I think it's really worth the price, OPI nailpolishes are amazing and have a great quality.
I normally always apply two coats of nailpolish and then use a topcoat, but being lazy as I am I just couldn't be annoyed to search for my topcoat, so I just applied two layers and it's fantastic! One layer could have been enough because it really doesn't have a transparent finish, but I just applied two coats to be sure it would look beautiful. It gets opaque after one layer though.

Do you own any OPI nail polishes? What's your favourite colour?
