Allo polish Pals!
Happy weekend to you all :) I feel like
I am saying that every two days, gosh the weeks are flying by fast!
Yesterday I had a really lovely surprise from my sister in law (who
is really just the most beautiful person in every way) who bought me
six new Essie polishes! Of course I want to try
them all at once but I decided to show you Recessionista
which is a colour that takes me out of my comfort zone!
Colour ~ 'Recessionista' is a
really bold statement shade, it is described as a fire brick red but
you know what else it reminds me of? Black Cherries! In certain
light it certainly looks redder. Due to the burgundy tone also going
on I also think that sometimes it has a slightly purple tint – do
you see it too? I am wearing two coats with no top coat, and look at
that shine, baby!
Application ~ Wonderful! I had
to be incredibly careful not to have too much on the brush, and being
a wide flat brush (in typical Essie manner) you have to be careful
with the neatness of application because using such a dark shade will
show up any mistakes or flooded cuticles. That said it was
incredibly fast drying. I also encountered no
issues with bubbles or streaking.
Texture ~ Slightly on the thin
side (another reason to watch how loaded your brush is) and dries to
a beautiful high glossy finish.
★★★★★/5 Considering I am normally a little shy of red colours I am actually falling in love with Recessionista. I know a lot of people will say this is such a 'fall' shade but I actually think it would look great with some nail art, I'm thinking golds accents! I am really impressed with the dry time and the high glossy finish. I think it looks pretty classy but perhaps isn't the most flattering on my nails.

What do you think of this deep
black cherry shade? Do you prefer brighter or darker reds?
Have a great day, my friends!
