Today I want to show you another creme (If you haven't noticed, I'm on a creme hype lately), which I used as base for my french moon manicure the other day.
White Hype is a creme polish with a satin finish - or as it says on the bottle, soft touch finish. It means that it isn' glossy when dry, which you'll see in the pictures.

I'm not sure what to say about this polish - I'm trying to find a few good qualities, but I'm having a hard time doing that, to be honest. One thing I do like about though, is the chalky, satin finish.
White is not my colour, it brings out all my redness and yellow tint so I doubt it's a colour I'll ever be wearing on its own. While White Hype covered bald spots in two coats, the formula was horrible - absolutely horrible to work with - thick, clotty and streaky. While doing my nails, the brush picked up so much semi-dry polish in the end that I was worried I'd have to use acetone to clean it. And it was incredibly thick in a not good way.. I don't normally hate polishes with a thick tendency, but this was just too thick.
To sum it up, I am satisfied with the satin look and hope Essence will be doing a few more, just work on the consistency, please ;) I have never been this close to throw a hissyfit over something as small as a nail polish before, LOL!
You did a great job with applying this one. I have it at home but when I tried it on one nail, I just give up, it's soooo thick, I'm not so patient. But I like white nails, so I'll try it one day, when I'll be prepared for horrible formula. :D .
SvarSletSynes nu at du bærer hvidt ret pænt :)
SvarSletville egentlig også sige at hvid er pænt til dig, ved ikke om det er lyset, men på billedet synes jeg det det ser godt ud :)

SvarSletI hope these come to the US! So pretty.
SvarSletEnig med de andre - den er rigtig flot til dig.
SvarSletThank you so much, everyone! It means a lot to me :) Maybe it's just me that's not used to wearing white nailpolish. Will def. give it a try another time. :)
SvarSletThat's a very interesting colour and to be honest I think it looks good on your nails. Maybe you can layer some glitter over it too :)
SvarSletThat's a great idea, Cel! White base would be amazing with Lippmanns Happy Birthday :)
SvarSletEller today was a fairytale tror jeg også kunne være flot derpå :D
SvarSletGud ja, Kathrin! Ville ønske jeg havde den, eller den var på listen over de lakker jeg har på vej, hehe ;) Ihh, tror snart det er tid til en lak fra Lippmann igen!
SvarSletHihi lokke lokke. Jeg har selv en lippmann på vej :P (Dog ikke today was a fairytale)
