Essence - Bee My Honey, swatch

Picked this out at DM, it's a special collection called Nail Candies containing 5 shades. The bottle says "6 in 1" and on the back I can read "Soft skimmering nail candies with 6 benefits for beautiful manicured nails; hardening, protecting, ridge filling, fast drying and fruity scented with a high gloss finish."

Well, I picked out the pale pastel yellow Bee My Honey. So to start with the positives, this yellow shade is awesome, fresh, pale and with a retro feel, the soft shimmer is subtle and not so visible but probably adds some depth to the colour.

I'd guess that the formula is jelly since it doesn't seem to cover that well. I don't mind jelly but this one has streaky problems which means that after 5(!) coats it still looks streaky. The 6 in 1 quote makes me suspect that they meant that it needs 6 coats perhaps? ;) The brush isn't like the good rounded flat as in the standard collection so it's a bit hard to work with. Especially since the formula is thin and drippy. It also isn't fast drying at all, even with SV it feels slow drying, probably because of the multiple coats.

As mentioned it is scented. I don't mind scents so it doesn't bother me. It isn't intense, only if I put my nails to my nose. The actual scent is hard to describe, chemical candy like fruit of some kind.









Basically I sadly can't recommend this, way too many coats, and sadly too streaky with fewer coats. A pity considering that awesome nuance.. I would have bought the other nuances too, but now I'm not in the mood.. :/

Price: 1,79€ at DM.

    Så tråkigt att det behövdes fem lager lack, det känns lite för mycket. Men en fräsch färg annars.

      Mjo, jag håller med, det blev dessutom ganska tjockt. Men jakten på fina pastellgula får fortsätta ;)

      Ja 5 är för mycket, speciellt när det bara är blekgult. Jag gillar ju färgen, men 5 är alltid en gräns där jag känner att lacket måste vara topp 10 för att jag ska vilja använda det igen på samma vis. I nail art kan jag tänka mig att testa igen. Typ pond mani. :P

      Yea, I love this nuance of yellow, but 5 is too much. I'm thinking of using it in a jelly sandwish or a pond mani in the future though.

    Underbar färg men sannerligen tråkigt att det behövdes så många lager :/
    Jag såg detta lack i butiken då vi var och handlade mat och jag var så nära att köpa det men det var ju tur nu då att jag inte gjorde det ;)

      Ja jag älskar färgen, men usch för lagren. Hörde att det rosa eventuellt var bättre. Gul brukar ju vara svår. Jag funderar på att testa att göra en pond mani eller jellymacka av den nästa gång.. För det kan det faktiskt funka till, har svårt att tro att jag bär den bara såhär fler gånger.
