Review: Ocean Vibes in a Bottle - Essie’s First Kiss Bliss is my absolute favorite color from them. I wanted something that reminded me of the ocean, and this shade is exactly it. It’s a soft, light aqua-blue, like seafoam, but leaning more blue than green. It is calming and gives off that breezy, coastal vibe I was going for. I actually bought it to match a top I have, and it matched perfectly. I don’t use a topcoat, and even so, I can wear it for about a week before it starts to chip, which is pretty good. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, and the brush makes it simple to get a clean finish without much effort. It’s functional for everyday wear whether I’m out and about or just want something that looks nice without needing constant touch-ups. For the price, it’s great value. You get a beautiful, long-wearing polish that feels fresh and fun. If you’re into ocean-inspired tones, this one’s a total win.
Review: Perfect shade - This is the perfect shade of dark red. The nail polish goes well and lasts for days. I really like the essie brand. I've never been disappointed.
