Essence: Red Romance
Burgundy semi matte crème
“Red Romance” is from an old collection from Essence called “Dark Romance”. I can’t remember exactly when it’s from but it’s not from recently.
The formula is good and easy to work with. I used two coats for full opacity and the drying time was good.
I topped it with a red/whie/pink/black glitter mix, also from Essence. It’s called “Be My Town Homie”, it’s also an older polish.
Then I stamped on top of it all. The design is from the stamping plate “JR-58” and I stamped with a baby pink stamping polish without name from Born Pretty Store.
Here’s the result:

| Essence “Red Romance” topped with one layer of “Be My Town Homie” |
I like the mix on my nails.

This is two layers of “Red Romance” topped with one layer of “Be My Town Homie”.

| Essence “Red Romance” topped with one layer of “Be My Town Homie” |
This is “Red Romance” alone; two coats and no topcoat. The top has a sticker with the text “The Matt” on, but as you can see the polish doesn’t dry up completely matte.
