Nails Of The Day: "She's Picture Perfect" by Essie ♥

Hey Everyone!!

This is just a quick review on my current nails.
Because fall came way faster than I expected I’m trying to squeeze in as many ‘summer’ polishes as possible. So today I’m wearing Essie’s “She’s Picture Perfect”, which part of Essie’s resort collection. It’s a nice lavender shade with a very subtle iridescence of fuchsia glitter in it. 



What I like about Essie’s “She’s Picture Perfect”:
  • Like the finish
    • Dries really shiny
    • Dries smooth
  • Awesome pigmentation
    • Only need two coats for it to be opaque
  • I feel like it would look great on any skin tone
    • It’s a pleasant colour that really makes your hand look nice
  • Definitely perfect for spring and summer


What I didn’t like about Essie’s “She’s Picture Perfect”:
  • Have to let each coat dry before applying the next so it doesn’t drag.
  • Took 13 minutes for my nailpolish to completely dry


Stay Fab!!

Nails Of The Day: “Master Plan” and "Nothing Else Metals" by Essie ♥


Hey everyone!

Lately I have been trying to keep my spending on a lowdownand it was going pretty well... UNTIL I walked into my local Shoppers Drugmart.I just couldn’t resist. It was literally a “i really can't stay”… “but babyit's cold outside” moment as I entered the nailpolish aisle. Long story short, Iforced myself to leave after I had picked up two new polishes in the fiveminutes I was in the aisle to “just see” [lies I tell myself lol]. The twocolours I picked up are Essie’s “Master Plan” and “Nothing Else Metals”.


“Master Plan” is a GORGEOUS greyish/taupe colour, which to me is the best grey colour outthere. It’s chic and sophisticated but doesn’t make your hands look like theybelong to a corpse. Out of all Essie nailpolishes I have to say this one is theeasiest colour to apply. Two coats of this stuff and your nails look professionallydone. It’s very creamy and it dries smooth in literally less than five minutes!I’m honestly surprised that I didn’t already have this colour, it’s just thatbeautiful.

“Nothing Else Metals” is a newer Essie colour part of theMirror Metals collection. “Nothing Else Metals” is a shiny lavender colour thatpairs perfectly with “Master Plan”. This colour also dries extremely fast and neat.At first when I applied the colour I noticed some brush strokes but as I put onthe second coat the lines just disappeared. As to why this colour is part ofthe Mirror Metals collection or even named “Nothing Else Metals” for thatmatter, I have no idea. I don’t recall the last time I saw a purple metal, justsaying. Poor naming aside, it is however a stunning colour.

Overall I’m really happy with both these colours. Just as I wasstarting to lose hope in Essie nailpolishes these two colours won me back.
#TeamEssie? lol

Stay Fabulous!
