I'm Bluetiful

Essence is going to make some changes in their standard collection. Unfortunately some of the main products will disappear. The good news is that new ones will take their place. Today's nail polish will be taken out of the Colour & Go collection. Luckily, I bought one before it was too late.

I think I'm Bluetiful is more lavender than blue. It has silver glitter particles and blue shimmer. 2 Coats were enough to become opaque. When I'm Bluetiful was released, it didn't catch my eye. But now I'm glad I bought it eventually, because it's really beautiful!

Have a great one!

Dear My Party Nails ~ Coco Black

When I began this blog, one of the first nail polishes that I used is from the Korean brand Etude House. They launched beautiful goodies in pretty bottles. The latest line is called: Dear My Party Nails. 

This is Coco Black (PBK803).

The base colour is a greyish blue, which is Zoya Kristen. The glitter party was brought by 2 coats of Coco Black. It came with lots of micro, squared, hexagon and bar glitters in black, pink, purple and white in a clear base. Coco Black really fits in this fabulous party nails collection. To make the party last longer, there is one layer of topcoat.

Have a great weekend!

Down the rabbit hole

Finally, this beauty gets the chance to shine:

BYS Down The Rabbit Hole has sparkling micro holographic glitters in a sheer black base. I layered two coats of DTRH over one coat of Essence Black Is Back. It's like having the night sky on my nails, causing me to look at them all the time.

I got this bottle from a swap a while ago. The main reason why I don't often swatch BYS nail polishes is because the smell is really bad. But DTRH will be an exception. 

Have a wonderful one!

Rule: I love bad boys

Essence Colour & Go nail polish number 127 I Love Bad Boys:

It's a dusty teal with blue/green shimmer. The colour combined with the shimmer is super! I have nothing like this among my collection. 

One of my aims for this year is to do more stamping nail art.

I used Konad M64 with Essence magnetic nail polish Copper Rulez!.

Have a great one!

Toujours Pretty

Paul & Joe nail enamel bottles are super pretty! That was the main reason to purchase one. I chose number 29 Toujours, which means 'always' in French.

Toujours is a lovely peach pink creme which needs3 coats to become opaque. The formula is good and it dries fast. 

Since I made the glitter nail art wheel, I find it easier to make glitter combinations. Today's combination will be Toujours with 2 layers of Nubar White Polka Dot. White Polka Dot is a clear base with lots of white hexagon glitters and micro glitters that shine blue and green. 

Have a great one!

Present and Past Visions

This is another one from the Essence Breaking Dawn Part 2 collection: Alice Had A Vision - Again. 

It's a dark purple base with lots of purple and green glitters. The formula was a bit thick. The pictures show 3 coats of Alice Had A Vision - Again plus topcoat.

There is another mani created with one from the old Essence Vampire's Love collection.

I used The Dawn Is Broken as base. Then I draw a rectangle with Essence Galactic Black and placed gold bullion beads on top of the black rectangle.

Have a great one!
