Grey-T to Be Here is a grey creme polish with a lovely pink shimmer running throughout. The formula was great but I was disappointed to see that Essence had switched over to the trendy "wide brush" style, which I absolutely despise. I know a lot of people like these paddle-type brushes, but I feel like it makes application more difficult for me. The polish pools up on the sides of the brush and I find it much harder to apply polish evenly with this type of brush. However, these type of brushes have been taking nail polish companies by storm and there's just no getting around them anymore. I'm just going to have to get used to them, I suppose.
Despite the tricky application with the new brush, Grey-T to Be Here is a fantastic polish. I absolutely love the shimmer in this color so it gets an A in my book! Pink and grey is always a winning combo =) Here's 2 coats of Essence Grey-T To Be Here. Enjoy!
What do you think? Have you picked up any of the new Colour & Go polishes yet? How do you feel about the wide paddle brushes?
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a splendid day!
YAY! Looks great on you! I love the wide brushes! Maybe because I get better coverage since my nails are mid length. I have a couple of other colors. Modern Romance is gorg but a PITA!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I'm glad that some people are enjoying the wide brushes, that's a good thing! My Ulta was pretty picked through but I got the green and the purple as well =)
DeleteEssence Polishes always make me excited because for the price, they're a really good deal!
ReplyDeleteExactly!! So cheap but so awesome!
DeleteOMG! This is fantastic! I need this, now! Looks gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely do! And they're so cheap, you can't go wrong!
DeleteHoly hell, that shimmer! I need to make an Ulta trip ASAP!
ReplyDeleteYes girl, you neeeeeeeeeed it!
DeleteLooks great I have to by it !
ReplyDeleteI love the new brush :)
DeleteYou definitely need it Shannara! I'm glad you like the wide brush, you'll love this one then!
DeleteOMG. That is gorg!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it!!
DeleteI love the color! I picked this up along with three others of their new Color&Go range but I haven't tried any of them yet. The shimmer shows up nicely on the nails!
ReplyDeleteWOW that shimmer is gorgeous - I cannot wear grey, but I might have to try this one LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one for the grey haters. It will totally change your mind!
DeleteThis is so gorgeous and really unique too! The pink shimmer is lovely. ULTA is a bit of a drive from where I live, but if I ever go, I'm going to pick up some Essence polishes and this will be one of them.
ReplyDeleteIt really is unique, I've never seen a grey with pink shimmer. Definitely worth a trip to Ulta!
Deletewow! I was just telling one blogger how greys don't do it for me, and then I saw this!! I guess shimmer fixes it all!!! It is gorgeous!!!! And I actually like the wide brushes haha =)) so this just might be a win for me =)
ReplyDeleteThe shimmer totally makes this polish!! You may need to give this bad boy a whirl =)
DeletePretty color! And I like your hand placement around the funny-shaped bottles. I've been trying to swatch a few Essences and I had such trouble getting my fingers to line up around the dip in the bottle lol. :D

Thanks! I didn't really think too much about it, but I'm glad it worked out =) I have a hard time with certain kinds of bottle though so I know exactly what you mean =)
DeleteThat fuschia shimmer in it is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it gorg?! Glad you like!
DeleteThis is gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it!
DeleteOooh, Jacqui, that looks so beautiful on you! This one was sold out at my Ulta (it's SO COOL to finally have an Ulta near me), but I need to call and see if their Essence display has been re-stocked. I did get Walk on the Wild Side, which is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! Yeah, our Ulta is always suuuuuper picked through in the Essence display, this was one of the last ones left. Good thing all the muddles took the boring shades =)
DeleteI want this sooo bad!! I'm about to pull the trigger on my online order! Why does Ulta have to be so far! I just want a couple Essence polishes lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely worth the online order, I don't think I've ever seen a grey with pink shimmer. Dooooo it!! Lol I'm such an enabler =)
DeleteI feel ya on this wide brush trend. I prefer smaller brushes, like the Essie brush because I have small nails and a wide brush results in me having to do major cleanup. Nevertheless, this is an awesome polish!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love Essie brushes too, they are perfect for me! Oh well, I guess we are just going to have to get used to these wide brushes =( Glad you like the polish!
Deletelove this! the shimmer really makes it stand out. that's too bad about the brush, though
ReplyDeleteIt really has awesome shimmer! Glad you like it! The brush is a bummer but there's so many like that nowadays it's time to get used to them =(
DeleteNina Ultra pro went with new paddle brushes too... I could go either way. This is an awesome color. Love the pink shimmer.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's crazy that Nina Ultra Pro went with the paddles too. Gahhhhh I hope some brands stay with the small brushes!
DeleteOoh this is lovely. That shimmer is gorgeous :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it!! The shimmer definitely makes it =)
DeleteI love grey polish! This one looks really interesting with the pink shimmer in it. I hope we get these new "revamped" bottles here soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like this! I hope you guys get them soon too, they have some awesome new colors in the Colour & Go line!
DeleteI need to buy this one, seriously!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful polish!
ReplyDeleteThis + Finger Paints' "Sparkle Top Coat" = one of the best frigging manicures I've EVER done in my days as a polish junkie. OMG if you have that one you HAVE to try it!!! Its like that copper-pink shimmer inside the Essence bottle taken up to 3,000!!!
