Essie Encrusted Treasure Holiday 2013 Collection - with swatches!

If you like glitter, sparkle and texture then you're in for a real treat with the Encrusted Treasures holiday collection from Essie. Breakthrough formulas add layers of texture, embodying the glamour and power of magnificent jewels and intricately beaded lace gowns. With full coverage and a 3D finish, this collection goes one step beyond traditional colour for a glittering, sculptural effect – all in 1 stroke.

Peak of Chic - alpine white holographic rainbow fringe - this is with 3 coats, another few coats and I could have gotten full coverage with a look like the Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coats that were out this past summer.

On A Silver Platter - pearlescent gold with holographic violet glitter

Lots of Lux - shimmering lapis lazuli with a superfine matte finish - this is with a top coat because I'm a fan of a glossy finish!

Ignite The Night - Sparkling hematite with a superfine matte finish

Hors d’Oeuvres - platinum gold with iridescent silver glitter

Belugaria - holographic jet black lace - it's meant to be a matte finish with a lot of texture but I wanted to see what it looked like with a top coat - and as you can see it just becomes kind of a mess, so don't do this!

Available now at Essie retailers for $10 each.
