Swatch and Review: Essie After School Boy Blazer

Hi everyone! It's me again! I'm showing another polish from the Essie Fall 2013 Collection, called After School Boy Blazer. It's a really nice, almost black, dark turquoise-navy blue. Whew! That was a long description. I'm going to apologize ahead of time for the tip wear in my photos. I forgot to take pictures after I swatched this colour and only remembered a few days later. 

Products I Used:

Base Coat: Pro FX Protein Enriched Base Coat and Revitalizer

Polish: Essie After School Boy Blazer

Top Coat: Pro FX Quick Dry High Gloss Top Coat

I hope you are having a great day! Thanks for reading!

Swatch and Review: Essie Vested Interest

Hi guys! As promised, I am catching up on all my missed posts. How's the weather where you are? It's been raining all day today where I am. I guess fall is finally here. Today, I'm showing a new polish from Essie's Fall 2013 Collection, Vested Interest. It is a sage, green-grey polish with no shimmer or glitter. I think it's so creamy and pretty, just dark enough while still looking fresh and clean. I find some fall colours to be too dark and gloomy, almost like it's sad that summer's over. The formula was awesome, fully opaque in two coats. Have any of you noticed that Essie has changed their brush. I remember I used to hate Essie polishes because of their extra skinny brush. Now, it seems like they finally realize that their brushes are too skinny, and have now made them thicker....

Products I Used: 

Base Coat: Pro FX Protein Enriched Base Coat and Revitalizer

Polish: Essie Vested Interest

Top Coat: Pro FX Quick Dry High Gloss Top Coat

I hope all of you are having a great day. Stay safe!

Swatch and Review: Orly Halley's Comet

Hi guys! How have you all been? I just came back from a three-week long trip. I would first like to apologize for my serious lack of posts during this last month; I travelled out of the country, and though I wore nail polish, blogger was blocked in the country I had travelled to, so I was unable to update all of you. With that aside, I would like to show you Orly Halley's Comet. It's a beautiful green turquoise colour packed with gold shimmer. Very sparkly and amazing. I applied three coats of Halley's Comet for a completely opaque finish. On top of that, I decided to add a glitter gradient with OPI Which is Witch. This polish did stain my nails pretty badly though, my nails were completely blue after I removed the polish. They were stained so badly that no rubbing could get the stains out. I had to use my trusty method of stain removal: using whitening toothpaste. More on this in a later post...

What I used:

Base Coat: Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Polish: Three coats of Orly Halley's Comet
Top Coat: *don't remember, maybe Out the Door

Thank you so much for reading! I will try to catch up on posts as soon as I can!
