How is it possible that I haven’t blogged about this polish until now? I picked this up back in November or December (whenever people were raving about it) along with “On a Silver Platter.” I wasn’t the biggest fan of “On a Silver Platter” because it looked kind of wonky on my nails, but I still have it in hopes of finding a cool color to pair with it. This polish on the other hand, I love! I’ve included it in my favorites videos on YouTube, worn it for many manicures as an accent nail, and actually busted it out the other day. So when I saw the pictures on my computer in my “need to edit” file, I about died!
Essie “Hor D’oeurvres” is a dense silver microglitter with chunky silver hex glitters and gold shimmer. The result is this shift changing polish that changes from gold to silver, making it the ultimate metal glitter. Ya know how some people don’t like to mix metals and have to wear gold with certain things and silver with others? Well, the combination of silver and gold in this polish makes it look different in every light and means it can go with everything!
The formula of this polish is amazing, but a little dense. With a dense glitter, you have to expect that the formula is going to be on the thicker side, so I wasn’t too bummed out about that. It was completely opaque on the nail in just 2 coats and dried really really quickly. No complaints with the formula whatsoever! I absolutely love this polish and felling like slapping my hand because I haven’t blogged out it!
What do you guys think? What are your favorite glitters right now?
I love this polish too!!
it was the stand out hit from that collection! it seems like people had mixed feelings about it, but this polish is just amazing i don’t know anyone who would hate it
I couldn’t agree with you more Holly! I LOVE this one and On a Silver Platter as well. The gold shimmer in these just makes them really special. I have both plus Lots of Lux but haven’t tried it yet. I had no problem with either formula.
i’m in love too lori! it was the stand out hit for me in that whole collection
This polish is just like diamond glitter!
i hope that you have this one because its totally worth it!
This is a fun shade. I’m one of those people on the fence about mixed metals though. Haha. It might be the time of year it is but I’ve been wanting to wear Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry OPI collection. LOL. Still in love with Deborah Lippmann’s Stronger too.
stronger is such an amazing shade! and i need to wear teenage dream again. i have been hoarding it for so long that even now that i have a backup, i’m still scared to wear it.
I love Essie. Just used Twilight in my last fashion pairing. {BLONDi Style} Under the Twilight Resort Fashion Lookbook http://wp.me/p3jcsE-zm
