A very late discovery...

An amazing little find!
 
 
Hi everyone, I hope you're all okay!
 
So in today's post I am going to be talking about something which you've all probably heard about before but I've only just jumped on the bandwagon with it *slaps self on the wrist*.
 
It's is the ever so famous nail polish 'Fiji' by Essie. I know you're all probably thinking 'how has she never bought it before?!?!' and I've been asking myself the same question. It's a nail polish that I've wanted to try for ages but every time I've looked in my local Boots stores they've been sold out... Until the other day when I went in there just for a look and ended up spending £25 (oopsy!). It's one of those products that I've um'd and errr'd about for ages but I finally decided to take the plunge and I must say I'm very impressed.
 
Surprisingly I only own one other Essie polish which is 'Tart deco' a gorgeous pastel orange shade which I love. 'Fiji' as most of you probably know is a beautiful pale pink shade; I was a little sceptical about it first off because I'm not the most tanned person in the world, however I find it compliments my skin beautifully.
 
 


'Fiji'

The above photograph shows one coat of 'Fiji' and like all Essie products, or at least like the polish 'Tart deco' the consistency of this is lovely. It's a smooth application and leaves no brush marks or streaks. You could easily get away with applying one coat of 'Fiji' too and it dries so quick. I also think it would look beautiful with a glitter top coat over it, I can't wait to play around and try out different looks with it!
 
All in all, I'm so glad I finally found this because I love it!
 
Byeeeeeeee!
