Brand: Essence 2017 Fall, Out of Space Stories

Essence recently released a collection of outer space-inspired nail colors, and over the course of several trips to Shoppers Drug Mart, I couldn’t help picking up, well…all of them:

• Outta Space Is the Place (01)
• Across the Universe (02)
• Space Glam (03)
• Beam Me Up! (04)
• Intergalactic Adventure (05)
• We Will Spock You! (06)
• 1000 Light Years Away (07)

The packaging is very sleek and feels a bit fancier than their usual product packaging, with squared glass bottles and mirror-shine caps. All the shades are also various types of iridescent shimmers and glitters. The price reflects these details, and the 9 mL polishes retail for CA$3.99 instead of the usual $2.99 for the 8 mL Gel Nail Polishes.

Today, I’m reviewing Outta Space Is the Place (01), a pearly iridescent white that is—very happily—opaque!

Application is smooth and quite even, with two coats giving full coverage.

I love the opalescent shimmer that flashes green and pink, and even though the finish does veer a bit frosty, I think I still really like it. It’s the perfect snowball nail polish!

Definitely check this one out if you like the look of it!
