Essence Don’t Be Shy Swatches + Nail Art
When I started the Alphabet Nails series a few weeks ago, I did not expect the letter D to be a difficult one. I figured I would have multiple polishes to choose from each week, at least until the more unusual letters at the end of the alphabet. I do have a few D polishes […]
DAVIDsTEA Juicy Orange Tea
I have wanted to try DAVIDsTEA Juicy Orange tea since I saw it in the Chick Advisor boxes with the brightening Garnier lotion. I received Blueberry Jam in my box but this looked so delicious that I picked up some to try. So not one of my use up my stash teas which means it […]
Paris Ooh Lalaa! Mani Monday
I am not always the hugest fan of pale or pastel nail polishes, but I fell in love with the Hidden Stories collection by Essence the second I got my claws onto them. The base of this stamped Mani Monday design is Essence Where Did I Park My Unicorn? If I had unicorns, I think […]
The ABCs of Essie Nail Polish
Last week, I went through the Zoya collection to find out if I could do the alphabet nails challenge using only Zoya. Turns out I can’t so this week I am making an alphabetical list of all Essie polishes to see if it is possible with Essie. Where possible, I am going to stay away […]

Essie Coat Couture Swatches + Nailart

It is a grey-purple matte with blue shimmer that looks amazing matte or with a shiny top coat. I love the dusty look of the purple because it makes Coat Couture so […]

With the bold, tangy flavours of lemon, currants and berries, it’s tart, fruity and anything but shy. And with an added boost from a big hit of yerba mate, it’s guaranteed to leave you feeling […]
Newspaper Nail Art With Essence Enter Wonderland
Enter Wonderland from Essence’s Hidden Stories collection is a beautiful off white matte polish that just calls for newspaper nails. Except I didn’t have any newspaper as we only get a digital copy so I decided to do them with Born Pretty’s BP-76 text stamping plate.
