Essie 'Dress to Kilt' Fall 2014

Good Evening lovelies,

I have a late post tonight as I could not really wait!

On my most recent trip to NY, and as a routine, I went to my spot in Brooklyn and what did I find? The new Essie Fall 2014 collection! Yay! I bought two, wonder what I may do with the extra set?? :-D

Well my dears, I have to say, Essie hit a homerun with this line, I mean, SERIOUSLY! I don't own any of last fall's collection, so the colors are new to me, at least from Essie.

Let's get to them... I may have taken more than one photo of each... ;-)

Essie 'haute in the heat' Summer 2014

Good morning dolls,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Today I have the new Essie summer 2014 collection 'haute in the heat'.

I have always used Essie, It is one the first brands I used if not the very first one. I thought the neon collection was the summer one ;-)

I have to say these colors don't yell summer at all, well maybe a little. I am unhappy with one of them and the rest were good to work with. Let's get to them...

First up is Haute in the Heat, the namesake of this collection, a beautiful cranberry, hot pink mix. Really good formula and it can easily be a one coater if a little bit than normal is used. This is two coats plus topcoat.

Zoya Summer 2014: Bubbly (Part Two)

Good evening loves,

I have part two of the two collections from Zoya for this summer 2014. Bubbly is a collection of six polishes loaded with holographic glitter particles. These are perfect for summer nights, a girls’ night out, a perfect date with your significant other, or just for any occasion at any time during the day.

I am not much of holographic polishes myself but lately I have been opening more to use them.

To obtain opacity just for these photos I did three coats and top coats. They will be just fine with two, but because of my camera flash I had to use three.

Moving right on…

First up is Stassi, a brilliant citron green with gold metallic glaze and holographic finish as described by Zoya.

Essie Neon 2014

Good evening!

Hope that you are doing great! I just got back from my trip to NY (another one) and as always did a "small" haul at my spot where I buy nail polish, and by small I mean 18 Nail polishes, including the new Essie Neon 2014 collection.

Look for info about how to have a chance at winning an extra collection I grabbed for one lucky follower on Instagram :-D

Without further delay let's look at each one of the polish from this collection.

Note: I used Essie's Ridge Filling Base for each color.

First up is I'm Addicted, neon aquamarine blue, very appropriate name for any polish addict like me. This is three coats plus top coat. Application was good, and I do recommend waiting about three minutes in between coats.

Best Nail Treatment and Top Coat…for Me

Happy Sunday!

Today I wanted to give you two of my favorites base coat and top coat, or should I say my favorite as for the last couple of months.

I would like to say first that this is my opinion and I have not been paid to write this. Just want to clarify this.

I would start first with what has been a real nail saver! Duri Rejuvacote has been a real jewel, within a couple of days I could see and feel a difference, and the best of all my nails are not peeling anymore! I used everything! Nail Envy by O.P.I. Essie's Grow Stronger, Millionnails, grow faster, some Colombian nail polish, and some other stuff that I can't remember, They were all good, just didn't work for me at all, my nails always kept breaking and more frustrating of all peeling!

Rejuvacote, has been  great, no peeling, and I do not know if its a factor, or I'm seeing things, but my nails don't turn as yellow as before.

Some places will sell this to you for up to USD$15 or as low as USD$6.49. I have managed to have found a place in Brooklyn, NY where they sell it for USD$7. Every time I visit my mother I visit that place for some goodies as well.



Now, last but definitely not least is what has become my go to Top Coat. Jill from Glisten & Glow has the best one! I just recently bought my second bottle and although I have it handy I am dreading the day my first bottle runs out. Exaggerated, I know! I used to use Seche Vite, but as many people have said and I saw it happen first hand it gets thick half way through.

With G&G HK top Coat you can rest assure that it won't get thick, and it would be the same quality as when you first started to use. Once applied, you can be sure it won't take more than ten minutes for you to see and feel your nails dry.

Wait! There is more! If you are into nail art, such as stamping, acrylic paint art, any kind of art, this top coat will not, I repeat, will not smudge your design. I tried many top coats before and they all would mess up my design, each one more than the other but it did happen.

Another thing to mention is that G&G HK Girl Top Coat will not shrink your nail polish and you can apply more than one coat and still would not have to wait crazy minutes for it to dry. And the Shine, oh the shine is insane! Do not wait! And this is cheaper than Seche Vite, only USD$6.95.

Have a lovely Sunday and start of the week. After two weeks off, I start work again tomorrow, Yay! Not really… :-)

Thanks for reading
