NOTD: Essie Bright Tights

Posted by on Labels: , , , ,

Remember the Essie Turkey Best Combination Contest I was talking about a while ago? Well, I was one of the two winners =) Today I received five bottles of polish from Essie, handpicked by me. I actually wanted to wait for the Braziliant Collection to arrive, but then I changed my mind and picked these instead:


L-R: Wife Goes On, Bright Tights, Cantaloupe, Borrowed & Blue, Kisses & Bises

Do you remember me not wanting to get Kisses & Bises? This picture by Kari Anne totally changed my mind about it, and I was sure I needed it in my life. So glad I picked it, it really looks amazing over pastels and dark, murky colors =D
Today I have Essie Bright Tights on my nails. I thought it would be more opaque, but it's actually quite sheer. This is three coats over white. My white was quite streaky, and Bright Tights is quite streaky, too. The end result - a cuticle drag fest. Next time I'm going to try this over a better white. And believe me, Bright Tights needs a white polish underneath. If you don't use white, it will never be opaque. Been there =)

I also took some fancy pictures using my brother's blue LED, just to show you how intense the neon effect can be. Please proceed with caution, as the pictures may damage to your retinas permanently.

Doesn't it look like I'm holding something radioactive in my bare hands? It's so glowy.

This one makes me think of Warhol =)
I really want to wear this to a club now!

Hani Essie Turkey Kombinasyon Yarışması'ndan bahsetmiştim ya? Kazanan iki kişiden biri ben olmuşum =) Bugün Essie'nin hediyesi olan 100 TL değerinde ojelerim geldi. Anneler Günü indiriminden de yararlanarak 5 oje seçtim. Aslında Braziliant koleksiyonunun gelmesini bekleyecektim, fakat sonra karar değiştirdim ve resimde gördüğünüz ojeleri aldım.
Soldan Sağa: Wife Goes On, Bright Tights, Cantaloupe, Borrowed & Blue, Kisses & Bises.
Kisses & Bises benim tarzım bir oje değil, almayı düşünmedim demiştim, hatırlıyor musunuz bilmiyorum. Kari Anne'in bu resmi fikrimi tamamen değiştirdi ve kesin olarak almaya karar verdim. Birkaç oje üzerinde denedim şimdilik, pasteller ve koyu, kirli renkler üzerinde aynı derecede harika duruyor =)
Bugün tırnaklarımda Essie Bright Tights var. Ben şahsen bu ojenin biraz daha opak olacağını düşünmüştüm, fakat oldukça şeffaf yapıdaymış. Beyaz üzerine üç kat sürdüm. Beyaz ojemin yapısı çok kötüydü, sürükleniyordu. Bright Tights da aynı şekilde çabuk sürüklenen bir oje olduğu için, tırnak diplerinde çok fazla açıklık oluştu. Bu yüzden bir dahaki sefere daha düzgün bir beyaz oje üzerine süreceğim. Bu arada neon ojelerin altına, eğer bir de opak olmuyorsa, mutlaka beyaz oje sürmenizi tavsiye ederim. Hem renk patlayacak, hem de tırnak çizginiz belli olmayacaktır böylece.
Kardeşimin meşhur mavi LED'ini kullanarak bazı resimler çektim, neon etkisinin ne kadar güçlü olabileceğini göstermek için. Dikkat edin, retinalarınız kalıcı olarak yanabilir.
Sanki elimde radyoaktif birşey tutuyormuşum gibi gözükmüyor mu?
Son resim de bana biraz Warhol resimlerini hatırlattı =)
Sanırım hakkını vermek için bunu sürüp bir club'a falan gitmem gerekiyor =D
Bu arada Essie Turkey'e hediyeler için çok teşekkür ederim, çok cömertsiniz =)

    and i'm happy you posted that picture of kisses and bisses, it is gorgeous. i bought it the other day (on sale 60% off!) and i tried it over a mani i had on already and you could not see it AT ALL!
    and i put it on my mom's bare nails - practically invisible!
    now i know its potential!

    Thank you guys =D
    @rebecca, to the lighter or brighter colors it just gives a soft wash of pink pearl, but it really comes alive on darker & dirtier colors like grays, taupes, purple-grays etc. =) I'm glad it was any help!

    I used to be so amused with my nails when I had black lights in my room years ago. Hehe, anyways I love how you used that for your nail pictures! These nails reminds me when I wore neon orange polish during laser tag & I was an easy target x)

    @omgnoodles haha never thought about wearing neons to laser tag! now I definitely will =D
    @serena_nuvola thank you, my dear ^-^
    @Lendoxia it's really eye-burning IRL =D
    @Varnish Vixen I must try this over a good white for the final verdict. I think it's all the white's fault!
    @j.d. benim de turuncu sevdam yeni yeni alevlendi =D
