Swatch for Pantone Color of the Year 2016: Rose Quartz // Essie French Affair
Continuing my post from last week where I showed you my pick for the representation of Serenity, this week I bring you my pick for Rose Quartz! I went with Essie French Affair which is a polish I've had for ages and one that gets quite a bit of wear. :) I think it's just the right shade of soft pink to go with the second Pantone Color of the Year for 2016.
Check out more on this shade below!
Essie French Affair is a shade that's been around for a few years and it's a great basic pink. It took three coats for me to build up, and if you layer it too quickly then it does tend to be a bit streaky. So take your time with this one and be absolutely sure each layer is dry before you do the next.
Next up I'm hoping to do a look with both shades together... I'm thinking maybe a vertical gradient with some stamping? We'll see. I can't promise it will be up next week but I'll certainly try!
What's your pick for Rose Quartz? Is French Affair a shade you think you would rock this summer? Let me know!
Thanks for visiting! xx

Its a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great polish, especially for an Essie. Essie always has such a horrid formula for me.
ReplyDeleteTo me, it is just a typical Essie pink but then I groaned when they released the pantone colours for this year so... not the hugest fan of them
ReplyDeleteDon't own any Essie but this pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for Rose Quartz.
ReplyDeletePink is your color.
ReplyDeletenot a fan of pastel pink shades but it looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty on you! Not a color I would wear though, I like loud and in your face pinks lol
ReplyDeleteI am not sure the Rose Quartz shade looks any good on me, but you rock it!
ReplyDeleteI love this shade. I do not love it on me because it doesn't look that good, but I like it on you!
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty, but the application issues are kind of a bummer... thank you for telling us ;) I am looking forward to that gradient with stamping, yay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice pink. I have had nothing but application issues with Essie, which really bums me out because they have some really pretty colors!
ReplyDeleteLove this colors, too bad I'm not an essie fan
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty color! I usually have application issues with Essie, so I don't buy them often
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! Even if I don't get a chance to reply I read and appreciate each and every one of them!! <3
