Essie Penny Talk

Essie Penny Talk

Essie Penny Talk came out in the Mirror Metallic Collection in the summer of 2012. The collection consisted of 5 metallic shades including a gold, silver, blue, purple and pink. Penny Talk is the rose gold coppery toned polish.

I'm not the biggest fan of metallic shades, but I think they look beautiful for nail art. I was pleasantly surprised when I put this on my nails though, it's a stunning colour.

I applied two very easy coats onto my nail. With careful application you can definitely get away with one as it's a very opaque formula. I applied quite a thick coat, because the formula dries very quick. If you're using thin coats it easily creates bald patches which get difficult to cover up.

 The colour looks slightly more rose toned on the nail than it does in the bottle. It applies a little dark, but I found it lightens as it dries.

Today is a pretty gloomy rainy day in Melbourne, and it doesn't really match the weather. I can imagine this is beautiful in the sun.

The nail polish is still readily available in Australia. I bought mine from priceline a few weeks ago. Normally Essie retails for about $18 at Priceline, but they have tons of sales, so wait for that!
