Unboxing the Naturally Yours Collection
The Coloressence Naturally Yours collection arrived in a unique box, distinct from their other collections. The creamy nude color scheme is visually appealing, with the collection name clearly displayed and a beautiful graphic design. The packaging is elegant and makes it a perfect gift for any nail polish lover.
Shade Swatches and Pigmentation
The Naturally Yours collection features five shades: N10 Nude Dusty Rose (a medium brownish nude), N5 Nude LAT (a dusty purplish nude), M3 Nude Sand (a light creamy brownish nude), a nude pink with orangish undertones, and N2 Playful Pink (a dusty pinky nude). Each shade boasts impressive pigmentation, achieving full opacity in just two coats. However, the formula is thick and goopy, making application slightly challenging.
Formula and Application
The biggest drawback of these polishes is their thick, goopy consistency. This makes them difficult to apply smoothly, leading to brush strokes and potential flooding at the cuticles. While achieving a smooth finish is possible with careful application and slightly thicker coats, the drying time increases. Improvement in the formula's consistency is highly recommended.
Price, Availability, and Overall Thoughts
The Coloressence Naturally Yours box set retails for ₹300 and includes five 6ml polishes and a 10ml remover. They are available through online retailers. Overall, the shades are beautiful and highly pigmented, making them a worthwhile purchase for those who appreciate nude tones. However, the challenging application due to the thick formula needs improvement.
Brush Quality and Final Verdict
The brushes are wide and flat which can make application messy for some users. Previous collections from Color Essence had brush issues (broken bristles, gunky brushes), but this collection did not have such problems. Despite the application difficulty, the pigmentation is exceptional, making it a good option for those with practice applying thick polishes. Overall, if Color Essence addresses the formula's thickness, this collection would be outstanding.
Favorite Shade and Conclusion
My personal favorite from the collection is M3 Nude Sand, a light creamy brownish nude. Its lighter shade compared to my skin tone makes it easier to apply and ideal as a base for nail art. The Naturally Yours collection offers stunning, highly pigmented nude polishes. Despite the thick formula making application tricky, the beautiful shades and excellent pigmentation make them a valuable addition to any nail polish enthusiast’s collection, especially considering their affordable price point.
