essence le – secrets of the past
this is another essence le I didn’t really care about. the colors are very retro, nothing special at first sight. but yesterday I found them on sale and I thought it wouldn’t hurt to get them anyways ^^
I only got 2 of them though and I kind of regret leaving the other 2 in the store. maybe I’ll pick them up next time.
here we go:
meet you in budapest: this is a very nice dark teal creme, right in between green and blue. I have a lot of teals, but this one is the most perfect, so I’m happy I decided to buy this.
matryoshka doll: a dark brown creme, very muddy. first I thought it’s similar to jacques, but it’s not. this one is much darker and deeper. I really like this one, and the funny thing is, that my mum just gave me my old, originally russian matryoshka dolls (we used to call them babushka), which I loved to play with many many years ago!
the formula on these was good, a bit runny, but still opaque. I used 2 coats and a topcoat on the pics. brush as always.

I got the orange and the teal, and while I really liked the colours I found that they stained my nails a bit. But as they were stained before it doesn't really matter, right? ;-)
Oh, yes Budapest is a total winner here. I love it! And lucky me, I already have it! Yay! :D
cucumpear: I haven't removed it yet, but I hope my p2 basecoat is a good shield ;-)
What a gorgeous teal! And speaking of the babushka/matryoshka, does you daughter like to play with them? I always wanted a set because of this sesame street video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxnL7QvtPYg, but are not widely available here.
haha that's cute!
my big one has also 10 parts. lili doesn't play with them yet, she's too small and would swallow the pieces ;-)
my dad got mine from businesstrips to russia. maybe you find one on ebay?!
