Essie In the Cab-Ana

Hello ladies!

Today I received a new nail polish in the mail, and of course I had to try it on right away!
The nail polish is Essie In the Cab-Ana which is the name-sake of the Essie Resort 2013 Collection.
In the Cab-Ana is a bright blue creme polish with teal undertones to it.

The formula was amazing - nice and smooth to apply. It only needed two easy coats, so the opacity was great as well!

I cannot get enough blues in my collection, and this one is a nice addition! I love the colour!

Jazz it up!

Hey guys!

So I felt like adding some sparkle to my current manicure - OPI Funky Dunkey. That is why I added a coat of Essie Jazzy Jubilant to jazz things up.

I love how pretty and festive this turned out! The two polishes work great together!

OPI Funky Dunkey

Hi girls!

Today I swatched the perfect purple polish - OPI Funky Dunkey!
Funky Dunkey is a rich purple creme nail polish from the OPI Shrek Forever After Collection of spring 2010.

The formula was good - a little on the thin side, but opaque, nevertheless, in two coats. Furthermore it is fast-drying to a shiny finish and it has a great wear-time!

I love this shade of purple - so rich and beautiful!

Easter Manicure #4

Hello ladies!

So today I had time to make some more easter nail art for you guys - an 'easter-eggs-in-the-grass'-manicure!

I started off with a light blue base of Essie Borrowed & Blue from earlier today. Afterwards I freehanded on some small easter eggs using a small nail art brush and the following polishes: Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (blue), Essie Lovie Dovie (pink) and Ciaté Big Yellow Taxi (yellow). Using the same nail art brush and the same polishes, I "decorated" the easter eggs with small dots and stripes. Lastly I used a nail art striper and the dark green nail polish Essie Going Incognito to paint on the grass around the easter eggs. And that is it!

I love this easter manicure - it is so cute and pretty! It looks a little like a colourful french manicure!

Essie Borrowed & Blue

Hey guys!

Today I tried on Essie Borrowed & Blue - one of my newest nail polishes.
Borrowed & Blue is a light (almost off-white) pastel blue from Essie's Bridal 2011 Collection.

The formula was great - two easy coats and you are good to go! I was really surprised with the quality of this nail polish as most off-white colours are very difficult to work with.
The dry-time was amazing as well!

I really like this nail polish - perfect for spring and summer (and weddings of course).

Easter Manicure #3

Hello ladies!

Today I made yet another easter manicure for you guys - a bunny ears manicure!

I started off with a light pink base of Essie Fiji on all of my nails. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush, Essie Fiji and the white nail polish OPI Alpine Snow to freehand on the bunny ears on my two accent nails.
This is a really simple design that even nail art beginners can do!

I really love this manicure! I think it is so cute, funny and pretty.

Easter Manicure #2

Hi girls!

Today I made some more easter nail art for you guys - an easter egg manicure.

I started off with a base of Etude House BL601 and L'Oréal Confettis to make my nails look like Robin's eggs. Afterwards I outlined my nails with a black nail polish and a small nail art brush in the shape of an egg - pretty easy really.

This manicure is not as easter-y as I'd hoped it would be, but I really like it anyway.
Can you guys see it is Robin's eggs? What do you girls think about this nail art? Is it easter-y enough?
