Essie Madison Ave-hue

This is a very understated pink. Not too bright and out there but still a noticeable pink. If you look at it closely you will notice a little bit of micro shimmer in it as well.

I used one coat of OPI Nail Envy, two coats of Essie Madison Ave-hue and Essie Good to Go topcoat.

OPI Eurso Euro with Polka.com

2/3 coats of OPI Eurso Euro with too many coats to count of OPI Polka.com on the ring finger as an accent colour. Both of these polishes are from the OPI European collection.

OPI Suzis Hungary Again

This is a nice bright pink that can pull a little coraly orange depending on the lighting. I can tell this pink is going to be one of my go to polishes when I cannot decide what colour to use. Some of my other go to polishes are OPI Charged up cherry and OPI hot n spicy. This polish is a bit thin so I used 3/4 coats. If you look super close you can see a bit of micro shimmer in it but from afar it is undetectable. I used seche vite on top as well.

OPI The Man with the Golden Gun

The man with the golden gun is an 18 carat gold top coat polish. I used two coats of it on top of a normal black polish. I used a few coats of OPI Mourning Glory that came in a mini Halloween set. As always I used seche vite top coat.

OPI Charged Up Cherry

This is one of my favourite colours. It's almost a red but not quite. I tend to not like reds so this is perfect for me. It's a bright pop of colour for the winter but also that perfect bright for summer! I believe I used two coats of this with seche vite top coat.

Essie Fiji with Essie Set in Stones

One of my favourite nail colours is a light pink/some type of "wedding" nail colour. Essie Fiji is one of those perfect light pink colours. I used 4/5 coats though since it tends to look a bit streaky and uneven. On my ring finger I wanted to do an accent glitter nail so I used 3 thin coats of Essie Set in Stones on top of one coat of Revlon Silver Screen. I like to use a matching solid polish under the glitter nails rather than the same colour as the rest of my nails because I like the more opaque glitter look. If I were to use the same base colour as the rest of my nails it shows through the glitter which doesn't always look as nice. I used one coat of seche vite top coat.

Alexander Wang

So I found these Alexander Wang shoes in the states at a Nordstrom rack they were only $250 !!!!! From like $700 something they were so sick .... Only issue I couldn't really walk in them long so I sadly didn't buy them but I just thought I share these lovely shoes !

OPI Tomorrow Never Dies

Wow it's been awhile! Today's nail polish is OPI Tomorrow Never Dies from the Skyfall collection. I did about 3/4 coats of this polish because I was having trouble making it look opaque around the edges. The last time I wore this nail polish it chipped super fast..like as in the next day so we'll see how long it lasts this time. It's a unique metallic shimmery purple colour that I don't seem to have anything like. I also used seche vite top coat which is super shiny.

Essie Play Date

 M and I searched high and low for this damn nail polish. I needed a purple polish and this was the one that I wanted to get but apparently it's like sold out all over the place.. I used two or three coats, I can't remember. Essie has been one of my favourite brands of nail polish lately.

 

 

Essie Off the Shoulder

 

This is a nice and simple midtone pink. Goes with anything and it's not too out there. A pink polish like this is a staple pink from every brand so you will be able to find a polish similar to this colour anywhere. I used two coats of this polish. I got this polish in a little mini set so it is nothing that you need to rush out and buy

 

China Glaze Celtic Sun

 This polish is seriously bright! Like in your face, it will hurt your eyes if you stare too long bright. Once again being a China Glaze neon polish it chips extremely fast, like the day I put it on as you can see above.

This is one of those neons that needs to have a white base coat underneath it. I used two coats of OPI Alpine Snow.

China Glaze Shocking Pink

Great neon pink polish. Love the colour but the polish itself not so much.

I believe I used two coats of China Glaze Shocking Pink

Like most neons this dries matte so I used Essie Good to Go top coat on top. This polish chipped the same day I put it on but I love the colour so I didn't want to take it off quite yet.

The next day I decided to add a gradient of fading glitter to the tips. This was the first time I added fading glitter tips but I suppose it looks alright. I could have brought the glitter down a bit farther though. As you can see, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Strobe Light.



OPI Hot & Spicy

Two or three coats plus top coat. This is a nice bright colour without being too in your face. Not really red, not quite orange or coral either but overall I really like this colour!

China Glaze Pink Plumeria

Care free everyday colour! This is from the China Glaze neon collection. Nice pop of colour. This pink is pretty unique, I don't have anything similar to this in my collection! I used two coats and OPI Rapidry top coat! 





Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

This colour was one that I was dying to try but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere so I picked it up on vacation months back. I was a little dissapointed, this is only the second time I am wearing this polish. I wanted it to be a bright cobalt blue but it isn't as bright as I was hoping for. It is a little bit dusty and it just doesn't have that wow facter there for me.. I used two coats and OPI RapiDry top coat to top it off. I want to try Nails Inc Baker Street so I will pick that up in the future!

Sinful Colors 24/7, Essie Set in Stones

I am seriously in LOOOVE with this combo. The neon is so neon and the accent nail goes perfectly with this.

Sinful Colors 24/7 was hard to paint on evenly. It was goopy and streaky. Neon nail polish also chips extremely fast and this one is no exception. It looked sooo awful in two or three days but it's totally worth it because it looks so good.

This is a polish from the Essie Luxeffects line of top coats. The glitter in here is sooo metallic and reflective. (The pink version of this can be seen here It looks super cool in the light. I used two coats here. This polish is dense so it's easy to cover the whole nail. As a side note if I were to use this glitter as an accent nail, I won't be use a polish underneath it because I don't like how the pink is still peaking through a bit at the edges.

I also tried out this new top coat I got in a little set and I am liking this more than Essie Good to Go. It it super shiny and dries fast like Essie Good to Go without the noticeable ridges around the nail where the top coat ended. So far so good!
