Essie Bargains!

Hello! I saw the Essie polish-for-£1.99 on the fragrance direct website on a few different blog posts about a month ago I think, I had a look but they'd been pretty much wiped out of the ballet slippers and mademoiselle polishes everyone was posting about, and were only left with a few orangey and green shades that didn't really take my fancy, even for £1.99.
Anyway, then, about a week ago I checked them again on a whim just to see whether they had any left at all, and it looks like they'd restocked! I was able to get my hands on all the shades people had been hauling on their blogs and I was so excited! So obviously I put in an order right away...












In order, T-B, L-R: apricot cuticle oil £2.50, power clutch, ballet slippers, a crewed interest, muchi muchi and sugar daddy £1.99 each

I know what you're thinking.. I think I like milky pink polishes, maybe that combined with ESSIE FOR £1.99 made me a little silly... Most of the polishes I got are from the diffusion line, with the only exception being power clutch, meaning that one has a thinner brush than the others (which I'm sure everyone knows by now) I'm yet to try any of these but they all look so pretty - and similar haha!

Have you picked up any of the essie bargains from fragrance direct? Which do you think is the nicest colour I got?

    Lovely! Great success in my book - Essie retails in Australia for $18-20 so this is a win!

      No way!! Some nail polish is ridiculously expensive, Essie is usually about £7 a bottle over here, which I think is about $11AU so it sucks they're selling it for so much in AUS :(

      Haha!! That's what I was like when I saw everyone else getting them, definitely have a look on the website because I don't think it's a case of once it's gone it's gone, because like I said, I checked and they hardly had any shades left and then I went back on a few weeks later and they had magically restocked! Worth having a look for such a bargain :)

      I know! I think it's because they were really hard to get hold of in the UK until about May when they released their diffusion line in Superdrug and Boots, and since then everyone's gone crazy for them! They have a really beautiful shade range though!
