My Take on Essie Head Mistress Nail Polish:

Yesterday, DH and I had an outdoor photo shoot and I wanted a bright red manicure and got hold of this gorgeous color in my collection. Who doesn’t love bright reds during a special occasion? Red color instantly brightens up and gives a very classy look. It not only adds as a nice pop of color but goes well with any outfit.

Talking about this particular shade by Essie, it is described as a bold, in charge and direct red. As described, it is a true red color with a cream finish and absolutely no shimmer. Though it is not a very unique shade as it can be easily dupable and available in many other less expensive brands like Sinful Colors, Sally Hansen and Wet n Wild.  I don’t have much complaint about the color as no girl who loves reds can have enough of these classic shades in their collection.

The shade gives an opaque color in just a single swipe and gives a nice even finish in two coats. It coats the color without any streaks and gives a true color as shown on the package. It dries quite fast and doesn’t feather or become messy immediately after drying even with multiple coats. It stays on for good 6-7 days without a top and base coat without major chipping on the nails. It gives a salon-like manicure immediately after applying, but the shine on the nails gets duller in couple of days due to the use of moisturizer, water and household work! This color looks beautiful on any skin color and a very classy color to dress up any outfit.
