Today I have my current manicure to show you. It's my first manicure using Essie polish. I purchased 13 Essie polishes for the fantastic price of $6 each from Ozsale just before Christmas. Essie is well known for their simple, but staple colours and their fantastic formula.
I used three coats of Essie Bikini So Teeny and then three coats of Smooth Sailing on my accent finger and thumb. I then topped it with a coat of my current fave top coat - Sally Hansen Insta-Dry (with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy-Soft & Thin).
These blues are absolutely gorgeous. My only complaints would be the smell, with Bikini So Teeny slightly worse than Smooth Sailing. I also had some issues with Bikini So Teeny levelling out evenly, but that is only really noticeable close-up.
I will be recycling this manicure very soon by layering piCture pOlish Splash on top - a gorgeous blue glitter. I will post the results from that addition later.
Oh, here's some more nail mail!
On the advice from the lovely ladies from the Aussie Nails facebook group, I purchased my first bottles of Duri Rejuvacote from an ebay store. I also couldn't resist and bought some lovelies I have been lemming for a while, in particular: CG Ruby Pumps, CH For Audrey, OPI Samoan Sands, CG Running in Circles, CG Water You Waiting For, CG Secret Peri-wink-le and CG Dorothy Who.
This will be my last nail mail for a while. I am desperate to purchase some more pretties, but am on a no-buy this month. But that's okay, because it's my Birthday Group Month! So in the next few weeks I will be receiving 11 lovely nail mail packages from the gorgeous girls in my Birthday Group! Yay!!
