Models Own Ibiza Mix + Essence A Lovely Secret

Essence Colour Go #94 A Lovely Secret is a periwinkle lilac that gives opaque coverage in two to three coats. The formula is not fast-drying though, hence the nick on my index finger about five minutes after application. The violet micro shimmer that is visible in the bottle is not apparent when applied, so that was a bit of a disappointment.

I topped it withh Models Own Ibiza Mix, from the Hed Kandi collection, which is a party-friendly mix of large hexagonal glitters in pink, gold, orange and teal with smaller glitters in pink, gold, orange and blue.

It's tricky trying to distribute the glitter pieces evenly but at least the polish does not streak or cake even when layered thrice over. There was no bumpiness or edges sticking up. Nevertheless, I applied a coat of Canmake Gel Volume Top Coat for an extra smooth finish.


Not a combination that I would wear during the week but it's perfect for a relaxed weekend.
