Citrus Mixer

Hey everybody!
See I told you :D here I am with another lovely nail post. And lo and behold, we have some nail art!
Keep in mind that my nail art is crazy simple. Half moons, gradients, ombrés, simple stuff like that. I don't think I'll ever be one to paint the Mona Lisa or Last Supper on my digits.
Anyways, this is a simple duo tone colour block mani using Essence Lime Up! and Walking On Sunshine. Lime Up! is now available in the new bottles, but my pretty shimmery sunshine yellow has been discontinued.
This was three coats of each, plus top coat. Super easy, and crazy long lasting. This picture was taken on the 4th day of wear.

Not Such A Secret Anymore

Hey everybody! Another little NOTD that I've been holding onto forever. This is a gorgeous little Essence gem. Seriously, I love the Colour And Go line so much I may just have to suck up my dislike of the new bottles. This is A Lovely Secret by Essence, a pretty little purple with the most gorgeous shimmer. But the weird thing about it is the shimmer isn't shimmery, per say. It's almost like one of those grey undershirts with the craft type pattern. The ones that are a million little flecks of different greys? Well I just lost all of you.
Anyways, this is a cute little purple with a gorgeous formula. Three coats and it was nice and smooth, and it lasted forever without chipping. And it's unique. Ahh, what a dream polish. So sad it's discontinued. If you get the chance, snatch this baby up. Now.
Three coats, natural lighting.

Burfday Nails!!!

Hello! Soo, as you may know, the 7th was my birthday :D I figured I'd show off my lovely layered mani I wore.
First up is two coats of Essence Nude It! This has some what killed the lemming for OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons/ Zoya Avery, though, really this is discontinued and only 5 mls, so I should grab a bottle of Zoya or OPI...
Anyways 2 smooth and easy coats, artificial light. Also, excuse my sad broken pointer finger (**sobs uncontrollably**).

 

Hmm, what should I add to this lovely, delicate subtle nude? HOLOGRAPHIC OF COURSE!!! Nothing **fixes** a delicate subtle mani like crazy rainbows!
This is one coat of Glitter Gal Silver 3D, in artificial light- it's way stronger in daylight btw. Blurry to show the holo off.

Okay, now what else is there to put on but BIRTHDAY GLITTER!!! And yes, I call these types of glitter birthday glitter, blame Deborah lol. This one is super duper awesome 'cuz it smells like Sugar Cookies and I'm absolutely obsessed with scented glitters. There are waaaayyyyyy not enough. I mean almost every company has scented polish and glitter polish, so how hard is it to put them together?!?! So far these Claire's Christmas minis and Color Club's Scentsuos (which I am crazy lemming. Cough cough birthday present ;) are the only ones I've seen out there.
Here's two light coats of Sugar Cookie, no placement. More fake lighting :D

Hope you enjoyed my crazy birthday nails! Now all I'm thinking about is whether they could make scented holos... Hmmm....
Do you like this mani? Are you a fan of scented polishes? Leave a comment! It's worth an entry in my giveaway too. Bonus!
