For June, we are going bright for #CBBxManiMonday. I had planned to use this gorgeous coral with a bright green in a gradient. But Daisy decided that my makeup sponges are cat toys so that didn’t work out. The base colour is from the Essie Fondant of You from the summer 2017 collection. This is two […]

Essie Gel Couture Twill Seeker Swatches and Review
Now that I know Essie Gel Couture have bigger brushes, I am excited to try more of them. The first being Twill Seeker. I thought that it would be close to For The Twill of It from their regular collection, but it is not. Not a bad thing, it is a beautiful polish, just not a […]
Essie Gel Couture Find Me A Man-nequin Swatches & Review
I have a love hate relationship with Essie but I think their Gel Couture range may have changed that. I have fairly big nails. Not that they are extra long or anything, but they are not teeny tiny and that Essie brush drives me crazy. Just requires too many brush strokes which can make some […]
Essie Summer 2017 Collection Drip Marble Nail Art
When you get new polishes, you have to see how well they work together. So I threw all six of the Essie Summer 2017 collection polishes together in a drip marble. Sil Vous Plait really steals the show from the cremes with a bit of foil-y shimmer but I think they work well together. I […]
Essie Sil Vous Plait Swatches & Review
Essie Sil Vous Plait is a wonderful foil and the final of the summer 2017 collection shades! A rose pink foil. Now usually, this kind of colour would make me think of the polishes my grandma wore way back and still does. But on the nail, it has some shimmery foilish goodness going on that I just […]
Essie Baguette Me Not Swatches & Review
You having that weird thought that there is already a polish named Baguette Me Not and it doesn’t look like this? OPI has one with a dusty salmony-dark pink colour. I think Essie missed the mark on not naming this something macaron themed as it matches the purple-pink of macarons at my local bakery. Anyway, […]
Essie Eclair My Love Swatches & Review
I will start by saying that I don’t know if I just got a bad bottle of Essie Eclair My Love. Before I got it from Intense Polish Therapy’s giveaway, it was on my list to buy as so many bloggers recommended it as an almost one coater with a great formula. For me, it […]
Essie Blue La La Swatches & Review
A beautiful cool pastel Parisian blue for those hot days! Essie Blue La La from the Summer 2017 collection was one of my faves when I first saw this collection. I do love a good blue and in the bottle, it was close to the blue toned Mint Candy Apple. A touch less minty green […]
Essie Fondant Of You Swatches & Review
The second of the Essie Summer 2017 polishes I am trying this week is Fondant of You. A darker peachy-coral creme with a hint of orange shimmer. It is described by Essie as a sweet shimmery apricot marmalade. A bit deeper than Tart Deco, this is a great summer shade and the shimmer makes it […]
