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.
