Essie Lady Like

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of Essie Lady Like (Essie's Color of the Month for March).
Lady Like is a nude taupe creme.

The formula on this polish is great - it is smooth and easy to apply. The opacity is good as well and it needs two easy coats to be completely opaque. It also dries down fast, which is nice and makes for a quick manicure.


On my ring finger I added a triangle piece of iridescent nail foil.
Here's a closer look (not color correct to the polish though)!


This neutral polish is perfect for the office and it is so pretty.

Stay polished.

Nail the Mail Box

Hey guys!

Today I have the Nail the Mail box for November to share with you guys!

Nail the Mail is a Danish nail polish shop that ships to most of Europe. They made this nail polish subscription box that you can read all about here.


The November box contains piCture pOlish Scarlett, Appeal4 Midnight Green, a glitter polish from Sorbet Seams, and the little something extra is nail foil.


First up is piCture pOlish Scarlett - a beautiful dark pink with a bijou holo finish.
The formula is nothing less than amazing and it applies like a dream. The opacity is great as well and it is technically opaque in one coat, but the second coat really deepens the color.


Here is a macro-shot of Scarlett. You can really see the beautiful bijou finish in this picture.


Next up is Appeal4 Midnight Green, which is a dark teal jelly.
The formula is good on this one - it is easy to apply and not too thick nor too thin. The opacity is not that good, but I expected nothing less, as it is a jelly polish - their opacity is supposed to be this way. I used three thin coats for the picture above.
A few days ago I made a jelly sandwich with this lovely polish. Check it out here.


The last polish of the box is this awesome glitter polish from Sorbet Seams. The polish contains glitter in almost all shapes and sizes ranging from metallics to black - all in a clear base.
The glitter pay-off on this one is great with minimum digging needed - on the picture above I used one coat. Even though there is a lot of glitter in this polish, it is really easy to apply.


The little something extra this month are these pretty nail foils (look at that holo!).

I am ecstatic about this month's box and all the products are amazing! You've done it again Nina!
What do you guys think about it? Let me know in the comments!

Stay polished.

Ps. this box is sponsored by Nail the Mail, but everything I write is my honest opinion.

Foil

Hi girls!

Today I made a simple, blue gradient using nail foil.

For the manicure I started off with nail foil glue on all my nails. Then I waited 5 minutes (till when it went clear) before I applied the nail foil to the nails, pressed firmly, and I took it off.


The nail foil glue I used for this manicure is from Born Pretty Store. It comes in an 8 ml. bottle (#9341) as seen in the picture above.
I like this nail foil glue as it is really easy to use (you just have to wait until it turns clear), it does what it  promises, and you get a lot for your money (it is a big bottle and a lot of uses for only $4.59)!
If you want to buy something in Born Pretty Store remember to use my coupon code SXKQ10 to get 10% off your entire order and free international shipping. Click here to see their nail art products.

Even though the manicure did not turn out perfect, I like the result anyway.

Nail Foil

Hey guys!

Today I have some simple nail art to share with you - a nail foil manicure!
I got my nail foils really cheap at a Danish seller, who is having a closing sale.

I started off with a black base of Essie Licorice. Afterwards I followed this tutorial by The Nail Polish Challenge on YouTube using blue nail foil.


Unfortunately I applied top coat, which dulled the nail foil effect a little, but I still think it looks pretty cool!
