Essie's Fall Collection Skirting The Issue!

Tweet

Yay! I received another nail polish from Essie through Klout. I received Skirting The Issue Color from their Fall Collection. I love love the color! This is one of my favorite colors, so I was extremely happy when I opened the box. The color is a burgundy wine. Very Fall/Fierce/Halloweeny, just how I like it!

I took these pictures in front of my window because I wanted to use the outside light. The color looks more reddish as you can see, but if you look at my pinky finger on the left picture, you can see it looks a lot darker. I have three coats on, plus a top coat of Seche Vite. You can use two coats if you like because it has good pigmentation. I had to wash my hair the next day, so both of my index fingernails were chipped on the corners right after. I was not happy about that.

Maybe three coats were too much, plus the Seche Vite is a bit thick. That might have been one of the reason that it chipped. I'm going to try another top coat soon to see if that makes a difference. I have been looking at reviews on YouTube, but I haven't decided yet. I'll post about it when I do.

Anyway, I'm in love with this color. I'm going to do my nails again and this time I'm doing my toe nails as well!

Klout Perks: Essie Mirror Metallics - Good As Gold!

Tweet

I received another Essie nail polish Perk through Klout! I was sent the Good as Gold color from their Mirror Metallics collection. I love the color, but to be honest I was really hoping I would get Penny Talk. But hey, you can't complain when it is free, right?

I couldn't wait, so I did my nails that same night to test it. Well, you know how with some nail polishes you need at least three coats to have a good color? With this one, you only need two because of its high pigmentation. Actually, you can even get away with one coat, and it will still give you a good color. As for drying, it dried up fast. A plus for me, I hate having to wait more than two minutes before I do another coat.

I took the photo below five days after I did my nails. They still looked good with no major chipping. However, keep in mind that using glitter nail polish helps with the chipping. I did two coats of Essie's Good As Gold, followed by Wet n Wild glitter nail polish. The same nail polish I used here. I also added a design from the stamping Konad plate #M31. For the top coat, I did one coat of Seche Vite. I am very happy with the results...

Glittery Nails!

Tweet

Sharing some pictures of my glittery nails. To me glitter makes almost anything look festive/cute, I love it on my nails. I was bored over the weekend, so I decided it was time to beautify my nails. I made a deal with my daughter so she would do my toes. I dyed her hair, lol. My toe nails turned out so cute I even dust off my toe ring and put it on. The glitter nail polish is from Wet n Wild, it is called Kaleidoscope. As you can see I use it a lot! The other two are from Sally Hansen. The dark one is called Gunmetal and the other one is Celeb City. Hopefully they will last a week without chipping...

Klout Perks - Essie's Luxeffects Stroke Of Brilliance!

Tweet

I am a proud owner of my first Essie's nail polish thanks to Klout! Yesterday I received the Essie's Luxeffects Stroke of Brilliance nail polish in the mail. I was so excited I had to do my nails to see how it looked. Even though I had done my nails two days before, lol. I love it! I love the color, the size of the glitter and it dries really fast with a good shine. Which is always good in case you don't have a top coat available or you are in a hurry. I took these pictures with my cell phone so they might not be the best.

I tested it with three different colors (should have taken pictures) to see how it looked but I wanted the glitter to show well so I chose a light color. The color is Easy Going from Sinful Colors (don't pay attention to the polish around the cuticle!) followed by a coat of Seche Vite. It's a very light pink. I was never one to wear light colors on my nails because I'm trigueña, but decided to give it a try. Now I like them!

I am definitely a FAN of Essie's Luxeffects nail polishes. I'm still a glitter girl/woman even though I'm no longer in my 20's, lol.

Although it looks silver a bit, the color is light blue
