Matching Lips & Nails? Esprique Precious BE280 + Heart-y NOTD

I was browsing my iPhoto and came across some pics I was supposed to blog about but never got around to posting. So today I'm sharing swatches of my Beauty de Kose, ESPRIQUE PRECIOUS Dress On Glossy Rouge in BE 280, a lip gloss I purchased a long time ago, and my (unintended) matching NOTD! haha! thought it was too cute not to share. 
got this from gooddealer.com for USD 25.83 + S&H


the flat paddle applicator has 2 sides: a fuzzy and a flat side
the fuzzy side is convenient to use and being flat makes it easier to apply color on the lips, I think the flat side is meant for thinner application of the gloss. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

swatch:
The consistency and color reminds me of Canmake Nudy Glow lip gloss. Its a moderately pigmented gloss in a soft beige-coral-pink shade with very fine shimmers, neutral enough when worn to pair with a lot of colors like green, blue, brown, peach, beige... It feels a bit sticky, but that can always be fixed with blotting. :) I also find this gloss moisturizing, which is great! I'm going to wear this a lot this S/S season, paired with some Lunasol palettes I got recently.

NOTD:
Essie Shop till I drop, 2 coats + Arezia (Sasa brand) heart glitter polish ~which reminds me of Nicole by OPI x Justin Bieber Step 2 The Beat Of My Heart. (please note that this photo was taken last year.)

products used:
Essie Shop Till I Drop, Arezia heart glitter polish

Its quite challenging taking those glitter hearts out of the bottle I tell you.

But its worth it. :)

Thanks for dropping by and an early happy Valentine's greeting to all of you!
♡,

  12. The tube of gloss is so pretty! It's also a very pretty color. I love your NOTD too. The unintentional match with the gloss worked out so perfectly.

  14. ohhh, both the gloss and your nails look so cute. I really like the easiness of the sparkly hearts to put in the manicure, so it might be do-able for a manicure-clutz like me too

  17. The lipgloss and the nails colours are so sweet and cute! I’m more drawn to the nail colour actually. Seems like Essie is a good brand. Often see gorgeous nail colours from Essie by beauty bloggers. Happy V day!
