Hello and a happy Friday to you!
Today I have the limited edition essie Gel Couture Wedding Collection by Reem Acra for you. In case you didn’t know (and I didn’t until now) Reem Acra is a well known fashion designer, especially in the bridal world. She makes some stunning dresses!
Overall the formula was pretty good with these. I will say a few are on the sheer side, so if you want them opaque, I suggest three coats or a ridge-filling base coat and two-three coats, depending on your nails.
picture perfect
picture perfect is an ivory white with golden shimmer. This is two coats and I would have liked it better with three I think.
getting intricate
getting intricate is an eggshell blue creme. This too could have used either a ridge-filling base coat for me or three coats. Pretty shade though!
you’re golden
you’re golden is a light yellow/gold metallic. This is two coats.
handmade of honor
handmade of honor is a light rose gold metallic. This is two coats.
moments to mrs.
moments to mrs. is an orchid with iridescent irregular flakes of glitter. This is three thin coats.
forever family
forever family is a mulberry red metallic. This is two coats.
Pretty shades but I do wish they were a bit more opaque. The metallic ones were the best in terms of just needing two coats for full saturation. My personal favorites are getting intricate and you’re golden.
You can find the limited edition essie Gel Couture Wedding Collection by Reem Acra on their site and in stores now and they are $11.50.
Do any of these colors interest you?
