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.

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.

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

 

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!
