Review: Essie Mucho Dinero - Elegant rosy nude

The weather has become chilly recently where I live. The sun sets earlier but still shows his face for most of my working day. This is the ideal atmosphere for Essie Mucho Dinero. It's a warm rosy nude that has enough color to adorn your fingers and is muted enough to grace your work place. Mucho Dinero was listed in J.Crew's summer catalog but I find it versatile for year round. It's the warmer-month version of Essie Lady Like. 

The texture is creamy and very smooth. It goes on completely opaque after two coats. I don't have any chipping until day 7. Mucho Dinero has an outstanding consistency that is very comparable to Essie Lady Like. Although the latter has better texture, Mucho Dinero is still a well-done polish. Highly recommended!

Review: Fall Manicure - Essie Lady Like

I had a crush with Lady Like, much like a love at first sight, when I spotted it on the shelf. Lady Like has a mixture of muted mauve, pink and purple - a perfect tone for cooler months. Beside the lovely color Lady Like offers an exceptionally fool-proof texture. Most cream nail polishes tend to live in the streakville especially under clumsy handling (mine, for instant). Not Lady Like!  It evens out itself after one minute without help of a top coat. The texture is concentrated and almost gel-like. It goes completely opaque with two coats although one coat will offer enough coverage with skilled application.

 Lady Like would flatter cool tone better than warm tone but light warm tone will be just as beautiful. Strongly recommended!
