ESSIE: Sunny Business

Lately, I’ve been really enjoying wearing yellow whether it be on my clothes, accessories, or in makeup, so nails are no exception. I’m usually very picky about shades, you know, not every yellow is a good yellow. Some are just too straight in your face and not very office appropriate and I didn’t want to own yet another so-called weekend polish.

I found new summer release Sunny Business by Essie during my scrolling through Instagram pics, like usual, and got immediately attracted by this positive ray of sunshine with the same name as the collection.

Sunny Business is quite sheer, shimmery golden yellow. To me, the focus is on golden what is a shame in some way, because from the pictures I saw online, I expected more of a yellow tone. The color is not  very buildable, for the pictures I used three layers and as you can see, my nail line is still visible. Maybewith adding two more, I would finally get my desirable shade, but who wants to do that anyway?

The persistence of the polish was average. I really like the wide brush they finally included, until now all my Essie polishes had that terrible thin brush. If you like sheerer shimmery and positive shades, this collection is for you, but if you’re looking for true yellow, check their previous releases.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
