Essie's 1000th Shade: Aim to Misbehave

PRESS SAMPLES

Hiya Dolls!

Essie just debuted their 1000th shade and it is a sparkly YELLOW!  That really surprised me because Essie doesn't have very many yellows in their core collection.  Aim to Misbehave is a jewel toned yellow with gorgeous shimmer.

I don't have anything like this in my collection.  Actually, I just counted my yellows and I only own 8.  My yellow's are all creams, so this one definitely stands out.

The formula is super easy to work with, two smooth coats gave pretty good opacity.  You can always do a third if you prefer to hide your nail line.

What do you guys think of this shade?

Have a great day loves!

Wet n Wild LAC - My Mani?

Hey Dolls

I was super intrigued when I saw this matte finish Wet n Wild polish on one of my shopping trips to the States.  I haven't even heard of these yet here in Canada.  I picked up this lovely soft yellow color called LAC My - Mani?  (Hate that name).

Formula was a pain in the butt, really patchy.  I needed three coats to even things out, but the bonus is that it dries super quick.  I obviously did not use a top coat and this polish held up for 6 days!  For reals.

3D Nail Charm Mani, Born Pretty Store

Hey Dolls!

 

 

I have a gorgeous 3D Nail Charm to show you today from Born Pretty Store.  I have seen so many fun 3D mani's around that I wanted to try it out myself!  These are definately not for everyday wear, but are super cute for a night out on the town.

 

To attach the charm to my nail I just put a thick coat of my quick dry topcoat, waited about 30 seconds and then pressed it on.  It worked perfectly and I had to actually pry this off my nail a couple hours later. 

 



The gorgeous sunny yellow on my pinky finger is OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana, my middle and ring finger is OPI Sorry I'm Fizzy Today, and my pointer finger is Joe Fresh Starry.

 



 

You can find these nail charms at The Born Pretty Store here.  You get 2 charms and there are lots of different styles to choose from.  I think they are a super fun way to spice up a mani.

Brazil by OPI Collection

**Press Release

 

Hiya Dolls

 

I have two press release polishes from the new Brazil by OPI Collection to show you today! 

 

First up is I Just Can't Cope-acabana, which is a stunning sunshine yellow cream.  Application was so easy (especially for a yellow).  I know I will be wearing this a lot this Summer!  I used two coats for my swatch.

 

Next Stop...The Bikini Zone is described as an amethyst-toned pewter.  The duochrome is so lovely and unique, the edges show a pretty beige color!  And it totally matches my amethyst ring that I wear everyday!  I used three coats for my swatch as the polish is a little sheer.

 



These are an unlikely pairing, but I actually LOVE them together!

 



 

Brazil by OPI will be released this February 2014!

 



Clinique Yellow Genius Mix and Match Mani

Hi Dolls!

 

I have pretty Clinique polish to share with you today.  This creamy yellow is called Yellow Genius.  Formula was fantastic, this is two thin coats!  No streaks at all!

 

I had a little fun and mixed up this mani.  On my pointer I added one coat of Maybelline Polka Dots Clearly Spotted.  I LOVE this glitter topper!  I put a cute bow from The Born Pretty Store on my middle finger.  My ring has three thin coats of Joe Fresh Starry.  And I added a coat of Orly Crazy Diamond to my pinky.

 

 

 

Do you guys like the look of a mix and match mani as much as I do?

 

Twinsie Tuesday School Colors

Welcome to Twinsie Tuesday!

 

We are showing some school spirit this week by showing off some mani's in our school colors.  I'm trying to rock this mani, but I hated the colors in high school and apparently I still hate them!  My school's colors were yellow and black.  Love black, and love yellow, but together it's just not my thing.

 

I used three thin coats of Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and the polka dots are Wet and Wild Black Creme.
