NOTD- Essie Very Structured

Dissapointment. Dissapointment in a bottle is all i have to say about this particular Essie polish. In the bottle/online it looked like a gorgeous burnt brown shade. That obviously didn't translate onto my nails. Instead it came out like any other chocolate coloured polish. 

Oh well , you learn i guess. I swear swatches online made this colour look more like a burnt orange/chocolate shade rather than a plain chocolate. My bad.

Have you ever been disappointed by a nail polish colour?

NOTD- Essie Absolutely Shore

Just a quick NOTD post for today, I've been super busy with Uni and placements, it's been non stop. Exams are fast approaching, then i finally get a month off uni *wohooooo!!*

Really been loving this colour, Absolutely Shore brings to mind sun, sand and sipping cocktails by the beach, a gal can dream rite;) Lovely white base minty green that makes me look forward to the summer hols even more now!!!

Hope you have an awesome week ahead:)

Nail Polish Crazy

I have sinned once again, but this time I have a good excuse. This massive nail polish haul was an anniversary gift from the boyfriend so its justified ;)
I've been wanting to get my hands on a few of the new collections and he thought that would make a perfect gift. I couldn't say no could I? So I placed an order with beautyzone2007 . I have always purchased the bulk of my nail polishes from her and never had any issues. I do have to mention that My Essie nail polish in Sew Psyched did arrive broken with this order. But a quick email to her and she said she would send me a replacement asap. Also the shipping for this order took literally 5 days.AMAZING!!

I also had to pick up 2 SportsGirl nail polishes when I was browsing through the store, cause i'm a nail junkie like that!

NOTD- Essie French Affair

Oh Essie, just when I had given up hope on you i.e streaky application, sheer colour, the need for 3+ coat you suprise me once again. I'm in love with this colour!! This is from the I believe Spring /Summer 2011 French Affair collection which also includes the lovely St Tropez.

French Affair is a soft pinky lilac colour that is oh so cute, very work and uni appropriate. Perfect for the coming spring months. Funnily enough all though it did apply slightly streaky initially, it only took 2 coats for this opacity. So keep it up Essie!!! You have some really gorgeous colours, if only your formula worked well all the time:)

NOTD-Essie St Tropez

You know when you see a nail polish colour and just cant wait to put it on...well this isn't one of them. Now looking at St Tropez in the bottle, I thought, yea its ok..nothing to shout about. But when I put it on, whole different story there. 

There is no other way to put this but this colour makes me feel sexy, yes you heard it rite a nail polish makes me feel sexy. I don't know how... but it does. 

Personally I think it goes really well with my tanned skin, as it just brings out the colour of my skin.

Now Essie polishes can be a hit or miss in my books. They can be streaky and not as opaque as I would like. This colour needed 2 coats for this opacity and applied very smoothly, so thumbs up from me.

It's just such a gorgeous nude colour, the perfect nude shade in my opinion.

Has a nail polish ever made u feel sexy?
