In my opinion, I do not own nearly enough Essie polishes. I have brought countless bottles of Good To Go top coat over the past few years, but only a few polish colours. I own;

Sittin' Pretty
Serial Shopper
Blanc
 Vices Versa
Navigate Her
Mojito Madness
 On A Silver Platter

There are quite a few Essie polishes that I am desperate to try and because I love making lists, this is my current Essie wishlist.......

My top 2 favourites are: 

A Cut Above & Girly Grunge

The others on my list...

A Stroke Of Brilliance, Jazzy Jubilant, Mezmerised

Winning Steak, On Your Mistletoes, Starry Starry Night

Sparkle On Top, Sweet Souffle, Dressed To The 90s

Knee High Life, Social-Lights, Ring In The Bling

Getting Groovy, Designated DJ, Aim To Misbehave

No More Film & Mooning

I so badly wish I had £50 right now!

I was browsing on Superdrug's website today and saw that they have an Essie 24 day advent calendar, and it looks beautiful. It is currently (as of writing this) £50, reduced from £80. 

The advent calendar includes a 'fun festive mix' of different polishes; 7 nail polishes (both core colours and gel couture), 13 mini polishes, a mini nail polish remover and 3 mani surprises. Plus if you are a hoarder of Essie polishes, this calendar includes 5 polishes that are exclusive to this calendar!! 

If you love nail polish then this is probably a perfect advent calendar for you. If you have £50 to spare and are either looking to expand or start your nail polish collection then this would be a perfect way to do it!! 

Although £50 may seem expensive for an advent calendar, if you do the math for what you are getting then it's a total bargain!! It's a good deal even if it was at it's original price of £80. If you just calculate the 7 full size bottles (6 core at £7.99 & 1 gel couture at £9.99) that totals to £57.93.... and that is not even close to totaling everything you get in this calendar!!

You can get this at Superdrug here.......

Although I love Purple Frost a ridiculous amount, nothing beats a classic orange colour for wearing on Halloween, and that is why Satsuma tops my list. Darker than a lot of orange colours, this has quite a bit of red tone to it. Whether wearing it on it's own or as part of a design, this pumpkin coloured polish is a great choice for Halloween.
