Fabulous Fruits: Blueberry

Hello ladies!

Today I have some nail art for the fruit theme Fabulous Fruits to show you guys!
The nail art I did today is a blueberry manicure inspired by this manicure by Kelli at The Nail Polish Challenge who was inspired by this manicure by Paulina at Fall in NaiLove.

For the manicure I started off with a lavender pink base of Essie Go Ginza on all my nails. Afterwards I made small, blue half circles of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue to resemble blueberries. Lastly I used a small nail art brush to outline the half circles with white and then black acrylic paint and also to paint on the blueberry details with black acrylic paint.

I love the nail art Kelli does and I always feel so inspired by her!

Dry Marble

Hello ladies!

Today I have some nail art to show you guys - a dry marble skittlette!
The dry marble technique was inspired by Krummes krummelurer.

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Essie Borrowed & Blue on my pinky, ring and middle finger. On my pointer and thumb I started off with a blue base of Ciaté Skinny Jeans. For the nail art on my ring and middle finger, I applied Essie Borrowed & Blue on half the nail and Ciaté Skinny Jeans on the other half. Afterwards I used an orange stick to draw spirals in the still wet nail polish. To finish off the skittlette I applied China Glaze Fairy Dust on my pinky.

I love, love, love this simple and easy dry marble technique!

Essie Take It Outside

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of the last nail polish from the new Essie Dress to Kilt Fall 2014 Collection to share with you - Essie Take It Outside!
Take It Outside is a taupe beige creme.

The formula was great - not to thick and not to thin, but really smooth and easy to apply. The opacity was good for such a pale shade - two coats with no streakiness whatsoever.

Overall I really love the Essie Dress to Kilt Fall 2014 Collection! The formulas are all fantastic and the colours are just perfect for fall.
What do you girls think about the collection? Let me know in the comments!

Essie Fall in Line

Hey guys!

As promised I have a swatch and review of Essie Fall in Line from the new Essie Dress to Kilt Fall 2014 Collection to show you today!
Fall in Line is a dusty green creme.

The formula was great - a little on the thick side, but that's the way I prefer polishes to be. The opacity was good as well - two coats and you are good to go!

I am really loving the Essie Dress to Kilt Fall 2014 Collection!

Essie The Perfect Cover Up

Hey guys!

Today I have a swatch and review of another nail polish from the new Essie Dress to Kilt Fall 2014 Collection to share with you - Essie The Perfect Cover Up!
The Perfect Cover Up is a deep teal creme.

The formula was nothing less than perfect! It was not too thick and not too thin, but it was smooth, buttery and really easy to apply. The opacity was just as perfect and it was completely opaque with just one coat!

I think this colour is perfect for fall and it actually matches my Hunter rain boots perfectly!
