Hi all,
I apologize for the lack of posting but I haven't been doing a lot of nail art lately, mostly swatches, if you wanna see those follow me on instagram @moriesnailart Now for the fun stuff, this mani was inspired by a pattern I saw online and I feel inl ove with because of all the contrasting bright colors on a dark background. Happy Friday! Welcome to Part 2 of this review, if you missed part 1 you can read it here. The next 3 colors are one of my favorites from this collection, they're all different and bring something special to the bunch. Check them out. Also, you can get any of the shades of this collection here. Good Knight This polish is gorgeous, it like a dark wine red with a brown undertone, it's not your average dark red for sure, it has more depth and that makes it more unique. Formula was great, only 3 coats for full coverage and you can see how it dries super shiny and squishy. Pics below are 2 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. Spellbound This is by far my favorite of the whole collection, mostly because of that amazing gold shimmer in it. The base is like a gray-moss green creme that goes perfectly and doesn't cover the shimmer. Pics below are 2 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. Once Upon a Time This is a beautiful lilac creme polish, it reminds me a lot of Essie Bangle Jangle from a few years back and it's right up my alley, this is definitely a must have spring shade. Pics below are 2 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. ** These polishes were sent to me compliments of Essie as part of the #PreenMeVIP program. All posts and comments reflect my own opinion after trying them. Thank you for reading!Hi everyone! I'm really excited for today's post, I've always wanted to try the Essie Gel Couture line, not only for their super fun bottles but because they promise to deliver long wear and gel like shine without the need of a UV lamp or the hard removal after. The line has 50+ shades to choose from and you don't need a base coat, only the color and their platinum grade finish Top Coat. All polishes have a wide arched brush that allow you to get as close to your cuticles without drowning them in polish and also the stem of the brush is twisted as the bottles which I though was so unique and amazing. Their Enchanted collection is a line of 6 polishes with soft and sweet shades for spring. I love them all at first sight event though I was a little hesitant about Princess Charming cause those tones don't look good on my skin tone. Check them out below. You can get them at www.essie.com/gel-couture Daring Damsel: This is a metallic champagne gold, the formula was great, I only needed two coats for full coverage and the brush strokes aren't all that obvious. Be careful not to shake the bottle too much or you might get bubbles during the application. Pics below are 2 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. Matter of Fiction This is the perfect pale pink for a barely there mani, it reminds me a lot of ballet slippers, the formula was great, a bit sheet like these polishes usually are but the coverage was great with 3 coats. Pics below are 3 coats + the Essie Platinum Grade Top Coat. Princess Charming Initially I though this was a pink for my mom or my grandma, a little dated. I did wore it for a couple of days and it grew on my, only concern is that it might not be right for my skin tone. Other than than is a perfect shade, application went smooth as butter and it didn't chip at all.

I have a super fun fall manicure today, it is somewhat inspired by a mani @debriz posted on her instragram a few days ago, her's had a double stamp and it was prettier but I still like mine a lot. For this one I used Essie No Place Like Chrome as base and then did a gradient using a few Kleancolor Metallic shades, I didn't want a linear gradient so I used 4 different colors in different sections. To finished I stamped the leafy design with black and the What's Up Nails plate B021. Hi all,
I got one of my favorite polishes in the blog today, this is Zoya Aurora and I love the holo flakies in the jelly base, it's just so gorgeous under the sun and so mesmerizing to look at that I got every single Zoya polish with this finish. I'll be posting those in the next few days. For the stamp I used Essie Good as Gold and the What's Up Nails B021 plate. Hi all,
I have one of the Essie polishes I got on TJ Maxx recently, if you follow me on instagram you might've seen a picture of my Essie haul, I got 4 darker/fall polishes for $3.99 each. Haute Tub is a gorgeous dark plum shade with gold/pink shifting micro flakies, the base color is a bit dark so it covers the shine of the flakies a bit, it's still a pretty color. For the stamp I used Essie No Place Like Chrome with the Bundle Monster BM XL-28 plate. Hi guys!
A couple of weeks ago I went to TJ Maxx and bought a few fall shades from Essie and Color Club, they were super cheap and even though they sell polish from old collections you can always find something worth bringing home. One of those polishes was Essie Power Clutch that was released on 2012, it's a shiny dark grey creme with green undertones. For the stamp I used a plate from Born Pretty Store BP-L018 and Moyou London's Little Pickle and Silver Fox stamping polishes. Happy Friday!
I did a little experiment with yesterday's nail polish, I've been looking at a lot of pretty rings on etsy made out of resin with gold flakes suspended inside and I though it would look amazing as a design on your nails. For this mani I used China Glaze Cutie Mark The Spot as the base color, then I added some gold flakies from OPI The Man With The Golden Gun, I did a little bit of placing with a sponge as well cause I wasn't getting enough from the brush, then I added a coat of Essie Pen & Ink which is a jelly from their Silk Watercolor collection. I repeated the process one more time and added a final coat of flakies on top and voila! I am now obsessed with how this looks and I want to try it in every color. Hi guys,
I know I've been posting a lot of Essie shades lately but it's only because they're untrieds and colors that really caught my attention in the last couple of months. For today's post I have Essie Chillato which is a pastel yellow creme with a hint of green, it's something in between because next to yellow it looks more green and vice versa. I added blue feather stamps using the Moyou London Tropical 20 plate and their Blue Velvet and Ever Green polishes. My pointer and pinky fingers also have an extra sparkle that I did using the CBL Blue Skies stamping polish. |
