This is Essie Hello world. If you’re thinking now that you never heard of this polish before, you might be right: this is a European-only shade. It’s probably the most spectacular out of these sheer Essie shades, but also the one that is the most opaque. Hello world contains a gorgeous iridescent shimmer that flashes from blue/green to pink/purple. It reminds me a lot of these loose unicorn powders that you can use for gel nail polish. From a distance, it kind of gives a pearly vibe, similar to Essie Pillow talk-the-talk or Essie Pretty in ink. Picture perfect and Hello world definitely have the most pronounced shimmer. Picture perfect was a bit difficult to apply though, and your best option might be to layer it over a white base coat or to combine it with another sheer. Essie Hello world is very pretty, but you must be into the pearl finish that it has. Essie Gel Couture ‘Lace To The Alter’* – a ‘ soft elegant ivory sheer accented with iridescent pearls’. This is not at all my kind of colour (spam hands ahoy!) but I think it would make a really pretty nail varnish topper to give a bit of shimmer to your manicure. This was very sheer on application so I applied three coats to get this opacity. It’s a silver-blue toned white with fairly chunky glitter to really catch the light.

Have you tried the Gel Couture formula? How do you think it compares to other ‘gel’ polish formulas? Let me know in the comments below! Essie ‘Lace Me Up’* – The palest of pale pink nudes, described as a ‘misty rose pink’. I had to do three coats to get rid of the streaks, which isn’t uncommon with very light colours. It’s slightly morepink-toned that these photos show and would suit pretty much everyone. Party season is truly over: I never want to look at another Quality Street ever again, I can’t face the thought of any more alcohol, and it’s really flipping cold. After theOTT glamour of the festive season – all gaudy golds, rich luxurious reds and cosy greens –I feel like I need a bit of a colour palette cleanser before I get into the pretty bright pastels of spring/summer. If you’re the same then you will be as enamoured with the Essie Gel Couture Ballet Nudes collection as I am.
