Introduction

Hey guys, it's been a while since I last checked in. I wanted to give you a quick update on what's been happening in the past few months. I had a severe allergic reaction to my eyeglasses, specifically the plastic and metal frames. This reaction caused my eyes to swell, burn, and itch, leaving them red and irritated. It took a while to figure out that my glasses were the source of the problem, and during this time, I had to refrain from wearing any makeup. It was a challenging period, but I believe we have finally resolved the issue. Today, I'll be sharing swatches of the Essie Spring 2023 Collection and my thoughts on each polish.

Allergic Reaction to Eyeglasses

Symptoms and Diagnosis

The allergic reaction I experienced due to my eyeglasses was quite intense. My eyes would swell, become red, and feel incredibly itchy and irritated. It was a struggle to deal with on a daily basis. After several months of uncertainty, I finally consulted a dermatologist who helped me identify the cause of the reaction – the plastic and metal frames of my glasses. Identifying the trigger was a crucial step in finding a solution.

Treatment Options

Treating the allergic reaction to my eyeglasses involved a combination of steps. Firstly, I had to avoid wearing any makeup, as it could further irritate my already sensitive eyes. Secondly, I had to eliminate potential skincare products that could be worsening the reaction. This meant cutting out certain creams and lotions that may have been causing an adverse interaction with my glasses. By following these precautions and working closely with my dermatologist, I was able to make progress in managing the reaction.

Makeup Restrictions and Skincare

During the period when I couldn't wear makeup, it was a challenging time for me. Not being able to enhance my features and feel confident in my appearance took a toll on my self-esteem. However, it was necessary to avoid any further irritation to my already sensitive eyes. I temporarily stopped wearing makeup, focusing instead on maintaining a basic skincare routine to keep my skin clean and healthy. Though it was a difficult adjustment, it allowed my eyes to gradually recover.

Essie Spring 2023 Collection

The Essie Spring 2023 Collection consists of six beautiful polishes. Each shade brings something unique to the collection, making it a wonderful addition to anyone's nail polish collection. The formula and coverage of these polishes are impressive, and Essie has certainly improved their formulas in recent times. Let's take a closer look at each polish and discuss their individual characteristics.

Polish 1: Your Sensational

"Your Sensational" is a muted chartreuse yellow with green undertones. The formula of this polish is incredible, providing excellent coverage even for a pastel yellow shade. While I wished it was a brighter yellow, the coverage and formula certainly make up for it. Essie has truly stepped up their game in this collection.

Polish 2: Ride the Sound Wave

"Ride the Sound Wave" is a milky sky blue with red undertones. The formula and coverage of this polish are outstanding. It applies smoothly and levels itself out nicely, creating a flawless finish. This shade is personally my favorite, as it perfectly captures the essence of tropical waters.

Polish 3: In the Universe

"In the Universe" is a bright taffy pink polish with blue undertones. The formula of this polish is similar to "Ride the Sound Wave," making it easy to apply and level out. It appears slightly lavender to me, adding a subtle touch of purple to the pink shade.

Polish 4: In High Time

"In High Time" is a mid-tone mint green with blue undertones. While the coverage of this polish was slightly streakier compared to the others, it still performed well. It required two coats to achieve full coverage and leveled out nicely. The color may be less creamy than the rest, but the end result is still impressive.

Polish 5: Don't Burst My Bubble

"Don't Burst My Bubble" is a periwinkle purple with blue undertones. This polish has excellent coverage, levels itself out smoothly, and applies evenly. It dries slightly darker than it appears during application, but the difference is barely noticeable. Overall, it's a lovely shade with a great formula.

Polish 6: Feel the Fizzle

"Feel the Fizzle" is a vibrant light pink with multi-dimensional blue and pink pearls. Although it is described as vibrant, the pink undertones are not prominent on the nails. It works well as a shimmer topper, applying evenly and providing a subtle touch of sparkle. However, it's important to note that it may not appear as pink as expected, even after several coats.

Favorite Polishes from the Collection

While I enjoyed all the polishes from the Essie Spring 2023 Collection, my personal favorites were "In High Time" and "Ride the Sound Wave." "In High Time" is a refreshing mint green shade that captures the essence of spring, despite being slightly streakier than the others. "Ride the Sound Wave," on the other hand, is a stunning pastel blue reminiscent of tropical waters. The formula of both polishes was exceptional, making them stand out in the collection.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the past few months have been challenging due to an allergic reaction to my eyeglasses. However, through careful diagnosis and treatment, I have managed to overcome this issue. During this time, I had to forgo wearing makeup and focus on maintaining a basic skincare routine. Today, I shared my thoughts on the Essie Spring 2023 Collection, highlighting the formula, coverage, and individual characteristics of each polish. While my personal favorites were "In High Time" and "Ride the Sound Wave," the entire collection offers beautiful shades that are worth exploring.
