Naughty Nautical

I have been dying for this color and finally found it in Bed, Bath & Beyond. Who knew they carried so much Essie polish? Essie Naughty Nautical is a nice teal blue color and a shade that I don't have in my polish stash currently. It's just as gorgeous on your nails as it is in the bottle. It's hard to see in the picture but there is a faint shimmer to it that looks awesome outdoors. This is definitely a polish I got many compliments...

Peace, Love and Green Nails

It has been a pretty tough week for my family. My grandfather (we call him Pappy) passed away this Tuesday. Pappy was as Irish as they come and if you ever forgot, all you had to do was take a look at any of his notes from work or a card he signed and there was his signature green ink. Ever since I can remember he has used that same felt-tipped green pen to sign all of my cards... "Love Mimi and Pappy" they would always say with the...

Lilacism

It was a relaxing weekend with some nail polish time...haven't had one of those in awhile. My polish this week is from Essie once again :) My Grandmother bought me this one as a nice surprise. In natural light Lilacism is just as its name says, a lilac color. It was much lighter than I was imagining, but still very pretty. Shown above is two coats with Essie No Chips Ahead top coat. The formula was very nice, an easy polish....

All Yarned Up

On my trip to CVS this week for a few groceries I found myself in the nail polish aisle once again. Sally Hansen has a Fuzzy Coat line that has 8 different polishes (Check them out here). After trying a few in the store I went with All Yarned Up. The polish had a clear base so I chose OPI Tickle My France-y to go underneath. I wanted something that would be neutral enough so all of the colors of the Sally Hansen polish would be visible....

Tips and Polka Dots

I finally had time to do something with my nails this week! It's not too fancy but I'm happy with the outcome! I used Essie Come Here for the base color. It is a bright red/orange that looks very similar to Essie Hip-Anema that I painted my nails awhile ago. The formula was a bit watery and I noticed I flooded my cuticles quite a bit when painting, which was frustrating. But the color is still very pretty and definitely a good...

Matte About You

I found it! I have been searching for Essie Matte About You matte finisher for awhile now. I was on Amazon.com and stumbled upon it for only $6.50! This is definitely my new obsession and I apologize in advance if the next few mani's are all matte :) I am pretty sure I have never worn black polish, but I'm in love with the idea of a black matte nail, so that's exactly what I did today. I chose OPI Lincoln Park After Dark. It is...
