Essie 666 Sexy Divide nail polish swatch & review

As I previously posted here, I won £40 to spend at BeautyDept. I read a lot of beauty blogs and one brand kept popping up - Essie. I'd never tried an Essie nail polish so when I noticed that BeautyDept stocked some of their colours, I decided to go for it. 

I purchased Sexy Divide (666). It's described as "a sparkly intense violet with hints of shimmer for dazzling up nails" and it really stays true to that.

I used two coats and think the colour comes up brilliantly and it dries really quickly as well.

At £8.95 a pop, I think they're definitely worth a shot!

Have you tried any Essie colours? Which are your favourites?

I recently won a competition run by Beauty Dept on their Facebook page.
As you all know, Jessie J shaved her head for Comic Relief so Beauty Dept wanted people to show off their craziest hairstyle to win £40 to spend on their website. 

I entered on a whim and I won. Here's my winning entry:

I was absolutely chuffed as after having my son 6 months ago, I rarely spend a penny on myself! 

I ordered it on the Wednesday, it was dispatched on Thursday and arrived this morning (Friday) so they sent it Special Delivery & delivery was FREE!

Here's a little peek inside my box:

When I saw the items below, I thought "I didn't order these!" They had thrown in 3 little samples!

My purchases:
