Christmas Presents

Hey guys!

Today I have some more Christmas nail art to share with you - Christmas presents!
This is inspired by my own design from last year!

For the manicure I stamped different Christmas designs from the MoYou London Festive 06 plate in different colors. On the pointer I used the blue Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid stamped with the silver Essie No Place Like Chrome, on my middle finger I used the red Essie Head Mistress stamped with the gold Essie Good as Gold, on my ring finger I used the green Deborah Lippmann She Drives Me Crazy stamped with the white Essence Wild White Ways, and on my pinky finger I used the white Essence Wild White Ways stamped with the red By K. Oy-Mak. To finish the present I used striping tape in different colors.

This is seriously one of my favourite Christmas designs!

Candy Cane

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple christmas nail art to share with you!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essence Wild White Ways on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped in the candy cane design with MoYou London Festive 06 stamping plate and the textured, red polish OPI Magazine Cover Mouse - I also had to fill in the design with some more of OPI Magazine Cover Mouse to make it completely opaque.

This did not turn out as I imagined it in my head.

Essence True Love

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the beautiful Essence True Love!
True Love is a red-tones berry crelly (creme/jelly) polish.

The formula was great. It was smooth and easy to apply. It was a little on the thin side, but nothing too bad. The opacity was amazing and I reached full opacity with two easy coats. Look how shiny it is!
