Essence - It's Khaki Time

From my latest polish purchases today I've picked the one I'm most excited about - khaki green shade from Essence Colour & go line. 




This one looks very different in various lights, so I'd say all pictures are color accurate. The color, as most green shades, is very flattering on me, it's a warm olive/khaki shade, leaning a touch brown in certain lights, and makes me wonder how does it compare to Chanel's Khaki Vert, as I'm somehow convinced this one was supposed to be a copy of that one. 
Application was good, 2 coats, opaque and fast drying, but by the end of second coat I could already feel the polish getting thicker - that's the curse of fast-drying polishes - the same way they dry fast on you nails they will dry and become thick in the bottle in a very short amount of time. That's the reason I am not very fond of this line of polishes, as some I own have become unusable after just 2-3 applications. But I didn't see a similar color elsewhere so had to buy it.  
Sad fact is that they're discontinuing it. So, if you like it better get it fast.
Thanks for reading :)

  3. Zelo lep odtenek, taka barva mi je trenutno zelo všeč, a tega sem preskočila, ker je v moji zbirki kar nekaj podobnih odtenkov.

  5. Baš izgleda zanimljivo ova boja. Drago mi je da sam vidjela kako lijepo izgleda na noktima, a inače me ne bi privukla :D

    1. Boja je super, taman da se istiće dok se nose pastelne proljetne bojice!

  6. Jako dobro ti stoji. Meni ubije ten sve sto vuce na maslinasto.
