Liquid Euphoria Dreamy Over Essie Going Incognito

So somehow I lost my camera AGAIN. I swear I loose it at least every week. I took these pictures before I lost it though, so they are still kind of good :) I really hope I find it soon! I'm still going to be taking pictures while I look for my camera with my friend's camera, but I'm not sure about the settings on it so I may not upload them. Anyways! This is two coats of Essie Going Incogneto.


Then I added one coat of Liquid Euphoria Dreamy on top. This was a kind of a good luck mani for my final on Monday. I went in to my school to take the test and I found out there it was a 3 hour long final. I was NOT happy. :(



I think I'm going to layer it over blue next. Here's a bottle shot where you can see the awesome blue side of the pigment!

Preeeettyy! Thanks for looking, and hopefully I'll update soon!

Essie Demure Vixen

Good morning! Today I have Essie Demure Vixen to show you. Now, this isn't my favorite polish as nudes generally don't look very good on me, but I do like the purple shimmer. You can see it better on the bottle than in the nail in my experience, but it does give the polish a purple-y tinge. This was two coats, which makes it a perfect manicure for when you don't know what to wear!

Essie Marshmallow and Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air

I swear Essie Marshmallow hates me. It seems like everyone else has good fortune with this color, but it just looks horribly streaky and puffy on me! Even the application has something against me - I can't apply this without having to redo at least one nail. Oh well. It doesn't even look that good on my hands so I'm not sure why I bother! Here is Essie Marshmallow, 4 or 5 coats:

Then I added Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air over it and waited for it to dry. When it did I added another coat of Marshmallow - I wanted the glitter to be milky :)


Thanks for looking!

Essie Coat Azure

Good morning! As you know, I love blues, so I love Coat Azure! I love the shimmer in it, it's beautiful! This was three coats with one coat of Seche Vite on top. I obviously really love Essies :)


See you soon!

My Top 10

Good morning! Today I wanted to share my top ten favorite polishes in my collection. I think I've posted manicures of most of these, but if you want some swatches of any of them feel free to let me know!

First up is my cremes. From left to right: Essie Lapis of Luxury, OPI Do You Lilac It?, Maybelline Banana Puddin' and Rimmel Steel Grey. The only one of these that is hard for me to apply is Banana Puddin', which is a bummer because I love the color so much!
 My favorite glitter. Those of you who read this blog should have been able to guess this! Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Air. I love how sheer it is and how I can layer it over any other color.
 My duochromes! OPI La Boheme and Liquid Euphoria Dreamy. I honestly can't pick which one of these I like more... they're both so cute!
 And finally, my favorites, my holos! OPI My Private Jet, OPI DS Shimmer and OPI DS Original. I love how OPI does their holographics, I wish they would make more! I spent a very long time tracking down My Private Jet so I didn't have to pay eBay prices, and I'm so glad I did!
Hope you enjoyed! I'll post another one of these when my stash grows. It will be fun to look back at this and see how my tastes have changed (if they have!). See you guys soon!

Essie Absolutely Shore

Hi! Sorry for the absence of posts. Almost everyone at school right now is sick, and I caught it too :( I also got my braces off!

Here's my manicure from a couple days ago. This is two coats of Essie Absolutely Shore, from their Brazilliant collection. It makes my hands look a little red, but I like it nevertheless!


Till next time!

Essie Going Incognito

Hey guys! Here is the polish I'm wearing right now. My friend said it was one of the most unique and pretty polishes she's ever seen me wear, so that's good! She also wanted me to write that it was a best selling shade so you should snatch it up :) (not true by the way! But it is from the Winter Collection so it is limited edition). Hope you like it!



Here it is with Clarins 230 on top!


Hope you're having a nice day!

Essie Muchi, Muchi

Hey guys, hope your morning is going well! Yesterday I wore Essie Muchi, Muchi. Usually I don't like to wear creme pinks because I think they are boring, but I had an interview and I wanted to be a bit conservative. I'm glad I tried this, because I love it! This polish was a pain to apply but I think that it's worth it. This was 4 coats.




By the way, I'm getting/making a light box for myself over the weekend, so hopefully the weird lighting issues will be solved soon and my hands won't be as red! Yay! :) Till next time!

Essie Lapis of Luxury and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

Hey guys! Here is my Easter mani (late I know, sorry!). This is two coats of Essie Lapis of Luxury with one coat of SH Hidden Treasure. I love the different colors, but I think I don't like flakies in general... I know, strange! I think it's mainly the pain of getting it off :)

The sun was out today (briefly) so I got to take some sunlight pictures for you guys!


This is a shade picture. Look at the green and red!

Essie Demure Vixen w/Konad

Hey guys! I thought I took pictures of Essie Demure Vixen alone, but I guess I didn't - whoops! Sorry about that. I could only find pictures of it with the Konad I did afterwards on top. I used the M71 plate for this and Special Konad Polish in Black.
