Essence Effect Nail Polish - Baby You're A Firework 02 Swatch & Review

Essence Baby You're A Firework is a beautiful duochrome glitter polish. You can either use this on its own or as a top coat over a darker colour. I've layered this one over Nykaa's Black Licorice. The bottle holds 10ml of polish.


I just could not get this polish to photograph well. In a couple of pictures, I've kept certain bits blurred on purpose just to show the duochrome effect.

Shade

As mentioned above, this is a duochrome polish which shifts from a metallic pink to a copper gold depending on viewing angle. The gold shift is particularly beautiful. In sunlight though, it mostly shines pink. Unfortunately, my camera decided to only pick up the gold in sunlight. Strange huh!

Formula &Application

The formula for this polish is excellent. The consistency is so thin and watery in the bottle but it doesn't apply runny on the nail at all. No pooling or flooding near the cuticles. I've had this polish for a while and it hasn't gone goopy at all. One swipe gives you pretty dense coverage if you want to wear this as a top coat over a darker base.

I haven't worn this polish on its own as I prefer this as a topper. If you'd like to see how it looks by itself, a quick google search will help you out as a bunch of other bloggers have reviewed it like that.

Longevity

This polish lasts fairly well, provided you apply it over a good quality base colour. I can't make any claims as to how well it would last if worn on its own though. I however,  have a couple of other polishes from Essence and haven't had any issues getting decent wear out of them.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I'd say this is a good budget polish to have, especially since you can't get your hands on many duochromes in India. It really adds that extra spark to your nails.
