2 Essence polish's & My Kleancolor Chunky Black holo is actually Red....

It's not true! Nail Polish is for life = not 12 months!

Here are two lovely polish's from Essence Color & Go. Both of these applied perfectly. I love these cute little bottles and how the caps match the polish.


This is 3 coats of Walk on the Wild side and 2 coats of KleanColor Chunky Holo Clover..... I totally expected the KleanColor to dry satin-ey or matte but it dried to a shiny finish.

..... and a few more photos of Essence Walk on the Wild side.

Essence Chic Reloaded is a very pretty multi chrome.....  I took a gazillion photos and could not capture all the beautiful colours this polish flashes.  This is two easy coats. I love how this polish applied and hope the rest of the shades in this collection have the same formula.

For comparison, below is 2 coats each of  Essence Where's the Part, Chic Reloaded and Wet n Wild Greys Anatomy. Wet n Wild Greys Anatomy is an extremely sheer polish and looks better layered over something.

I picked up this KleanColor holo mini's at Winners ( T.J.Maxx ) around X-mas time. For 4.99, these are a good deal. They are pretty much the same polish save for the Chunky black holo, and the pink shade which has the most notable hot pink jelly base, the rest of the polish's have a similar glitter and are only different in that they have slightly tinted jelly bases.


I planned on layering Chunky Holo Black over Essence Chic Reloaded but it turned the base colour purple.... instead of a darker polish shade like I had hoped.... oh well.

My 'Chunky Holo Black' has a red base...... its not black ~ I'm still happy with it !

Essence Choose Me & ChG For Audrey sponge mani

I had different plans for today's manicure..... I tried to do one of those circle mani's, using a pen dipped in polish but I goofed it so bad I went to my dependable stand-by nail art =  a sponge manicure. This is 2 coats of China Glaze Foe Audrey, then a sponging of Essence Choose Me, then a sponging of Pure Ice Strapless ( sapphire blue glitter ) and a coat of TC.

Essence High Spirits with LA Colors Stripe Polish funky french

 ..... looks like I need a little more practice with glitter stripe polish.

So I finally found these Essence nail polish at Shoppers Drug Mart (Canada). I picked up a few but wanted to try Essence High Spirits right away. I was surprised that this was only 3 coats for me, I imagined this would be a watery sheer polish, but it applied perfectly and I had great opacity in 3 coats.

stuff I used for this mani - Essence High Spirits, LA Colors Silver Glitter, LA Colors Black, and Billie Cosmetics Black ( and Nailene Top Coat )

I used LA Colors Stripe polish in black to make the line, then filled it in with Billie Black... I couldn't find my trusty Wet n Wild Black Creme..... I did the opposite on my ring nail and added just 1 nail sticker, traced the line with 2 coats of LA Colors silver stripe then added Top Coat.

 I added the pretty white flower nail sticker from Fing'rs to my ring nails then added a coat of TC. I was hacking tree stumps this weekend and none of those stones fell off --- impressive
