Essie Luxe Effects A Cut Above

Sparkly nails again! I ordered this super pretty Essie polish on ebay about a week ago and honesty didn't expect it to arrive before Christmas. But it has and it's perfect for this party season!




I applied one layer of Avon "Rave" (glitter) and on top of that one layer of Essie "A Cut Above". These two polishes are very similar color. They're both "pinky minkish dusty red" shade that I clearly have trouble describing :)
Avon Rave is not a full on glitter polish. By this I mean that it doesn't have chunky glitter bits but finley milled shiny particles. It's opaque coverage.
Essie A Cut Above is a basically clear polish with different size round shiny bits in it. I think probably two or three coats would cover the whole nail with shiny circles. There is a lot of them in there and what's important a lot stay on the nail. What I found is that they are easily spreadable on the nail. With some polishes second swipe takes the glittery bits away but this didn't happen here. They don't feel rough on the nail either.

Have you tried any of the polishes from Luxe Effects Collection?
