Review: Essie Status Symbol

First of all - I am THE worst blogger in the history of blogging! A massive apology for the lack of activity - it's been a hectic few weeks with work and not being very well but I'm back on it and ready for action.

Today I have the most beautiful pink polish to review - Essie's Status Symbol.

As it's sunny, I thought I'd make the most of it and snap a few pics in the sunshine! However, I've done a sun shot and a shade shot because the colour can look different.

It was really hard to get the correct colour in the shots. It's a beautiful pinky shade that errs on the coral side as opposed to a blue tone. Status Symbol isn't as bold other fuchsia shades and definitely not as neon as other pink shades that are around at the moment which makes it really wearable - perfect for this weather!

I'd compare it to OPI's Strawberry Margherita - my sister had it on the other day and they really do look exactly the same (except Essie's is around £4 cheaper at £7.99).

I actually bought this during one of Boots' amazing 3 for 2 offers that ran across all makeup so I'm really pleased with the price. I'm happy to pay that for a polish anyway in all honesty, the quality is great so definitely worth it.

It's not streaky at all which is great and as you can see the finish is flawless - no streaks or uneven patches.

Overall, it really is a gorgeous polish. If you're looking for something that'll take you through till summer (when you can wear some really bright, powerful polishes) this is definitely a contender!

I'm starting to love Essie more and more - are there any shades you'd recommend?

Much love,

Ax

To kick things off I thought I'd start with a post on one of my favourite beauty treats - nails! This week I had them done with a candy pink and then mint green, candy pink and deep lilac chevron design on the ring finger.

FYI: I have gel extensions and get them infilled every 2-3 weeks. A lovely lady called Louise does them too.

This is a very short (but sweet!) post but enough to get things kicked off!

I'm excited to share all my beauty goodies with you all so keep your eyes peeled!

Much love, Ax
