The Classics: Pink

Hello ladies!

Today I have another blog post for the series of blog posts concerning classic nail polish colours that every woman should own!

Pink is the most feminine and girly shade, whether it is a classic pale pink for your sweet side or a vibrant pink for your wild side. Pinks is just a classic shade in all of its meaning!

I chose four different pink shades from my stash.

L-R: Essie Watermelon, Essie Bottle Service, Essie Lovie Dovie and Essie Fiji

Essie Fiji is a pale pink - the most elegant shade of pink.
Essie Lovie Dovie is a medium pink - the perfect Barbie pink.
Essie Bottle Service is a neon pink - the shade of pink that just screams summer.
Essie Watermelon is av pinky red - the most chic shade of pink.

Which of the pinks do you girls like the best? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

01 The Sky

Hi girls!

Today I have the first manicure of the June Nail Art Challenge for you guys! As the title of this blog post displays it is a Sky Manicure!

I started off with a sky blue base of Essie Avenue Maintain. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool and the white nail polish Essie Blanc to dot on the clouds - and that is it! Pretty simple really.

I think this manicure turned out really cool and for some reason it reminds me of the wallpaper from Toy Story.

The Classics: Nude

Hello ladies!

Today I have another blog post for the series of classic nail polish colours that every woman should own - nude nail polishes!

Nudes (or neutrals) is for when you do not want to change your polish to match every outfit, for a barely-there look that still adds something extra to your nails with a creamy hint of colour and for a natural look that is perfect for the office or for school.

I chose three different nude polishes from my collection, that matches my skin tone (fair skin with pink undertones).

Essie Spin the Bottle is a nude with pink undertones - a perfect shade for the mannequin hands manicure.
OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around is a light, pink toned nude with grey undertones - a flattering shade for most skin tones.
Gosh Nude* is a tan nude - perfect for summer.

Which of the nudes do you girls like the best? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished!

*I actually do not know the name of this polish, as I took the sticker with the name on of (silly me). If any of you guys know the name, please let me know!

Essie Aruba Blue

Hi girls!

Today I have another Essie polish to swatch and review for you guys - Essie Aruba Blue.
Aruba Blue is a beautiful royal blue shimmer polish.

The formula was amazing - it was nice and easy to apply and there were no visible brush strokes. The opacity was great as well - really pigmented and a OCW of you are careful.

For some reason I did not really care for this polish in the bottle, but I am in love with it on the nail! The blue is so deep and beautiful!

Essie Purse and Buffer

Hello ladies!

Today I bought two new Essie-polishes and received a GWP (Gift With Purchase) consisting of a little Essie purse and an exclusive Essie nail file.

The two polished were Essie Aruba Blue (a royal blue shimmer) and Essie Cocktail Bling (a grey creme with blue undertones).

I love free stuff and I love Essie, so of course I just had to get this set!

French Manicure

Hi girls!

Today I made a simple french manicure.

I started off by freehanding on the white tips with Essie Blanc (white). Afterwards I added two layers of Essie Mademoiselle (sheer pink) to make the manicure look more natural.

I love how simple and natural this looks - so pretty!
