ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Essence Movie Star & Sally Hansen Ice Queen
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
I try to make drugstore nail polish runs as often as I can. I like to check out the seasonal displays regularly and see what’s new. The last time I was out, maybe a month ago, I noticed a display of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails polishes that included a fun glitter called Ice Queen. I keep meaning to wear it but I didn’t know what I wanted to layer it over. Well I pulled out some of my Essence untrieds today and inspiration hit. There’s something about the moody, neutral hue of Essence Movie Star that made it the perfect partner for the glittery happiness of Ice Queen. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Essence Pool Party

Have you ever spotted a nail polish line that is so inexpensive you can only assume that it has to be a waste of money? Well, that’s what I thought the first time I heard of the Essence Colour & Go line carried at ULTA. I mean, how great can a nail polish be when it’s priced UNDER A DOLLAR?!? Well, I finally bit the bullet and decided to order some colors from the line last Summer but even after they arrived, the bottles looked so cheap and tiny that I felt no immediate need to try them. Today I put this budget brand to the test when I took Essence Pool Party for a spin. |
