#notw 27/10/13

(I added a matte top coat on my forth nail just for variety! It's Essie matte about you) 

Haven't posted a notw since forever so here's one!! This week I used JulieG's nail polish in Holla-Peño from the 2013 collection. You can purchase this at rite aid but I don't have one near me so I purchased mine online. You can go to the Jesses's Girl Cosmetics website to purchase it if you like (I'm singing Jessie's Girl in my head right now). 

Holla-Peño in real life is a little more milky and creamy I would say. A tinge litter than photographed in the photos as well. I tried on many occasions to get the exact color but I couldn't so this is the best I can do. I'm thinking of getting a light box for better photographs. Hmm... I think it'll be a good investment but I'm so not willing to spend the money at this point of time. Anyway, to get to the point, here is my overall opinion on the polish. 

Price: 5/5 

(Each bottle retails for 3.99 which I think is really affordable for its quality) 

Formula: 4/5 

(It is pretty good and I can get full opacity in 2 coats)

Brush: 3.5/5

(This brush is to the thin side unlike OPI's really thick and fat brush. However, I do prefer thicker brushes but it's just my personal preference. I know a lot of people enjoy thin brushes such as the ones from Essie which I really don't like. This one is pretty much in between Essie and OPI) 

Color: 5/5 

I absolutely love the color!! I think it's a pretty unique color and it shows up exactly the same as in the bottle) 

Overall: 17.5/20

I'd say you should purchase this colors if you like green because it'll be a pretty unique color in your collection. It's absolutely gorgeous in my opinion 😊

Cheers,

P/s: Sorry for the many filters. I was trying to see which ones showed the true color of the polish the most. I'll try harder at taking more accurate photos 😁✌️
