Susy In Color

I got three polishes from the Essie Resort 2013 Collection, and since there are already plenty of swatches available I decided to wear all three of them in a polka dot look instead of just swatching them!

I used Come Here! on all nails, and then alternated the dots on each nail with In The Cab-ana and First Timer. Come Here! had a good formula and pigmentation, it looked good at one coat but I did two just out of habit.

I think my dots are definitely looking better than the first few times I tried making them, and several people asked to see my nails and said they were cute, which is always nice!
The only color I didn’t buy from the Resort collection is Under Where?, because I think I already have similar purple shades, but overall they are all fun springy colors.

Thanks for visiting!

I thought choosing a favorite polish from three almost full Helmers would be hard, but when I looked through them I knew which ones to use. I ended up with two because they are both favorites, and one of them can’t be worn on its own anyway!

This is Lynnderella Bride of Franken over Essie Smooth Sailing. I love both of these polishes so much that I have backups of them! Smooth Sailing applies so well and it is opaque in one coat, I did two just out of habit though, it has a beautiful blue base color with silver shimmer. Bride of Franken has a mix of holographic micro glitter, iridescent and blue/purple hexes in a sheer purple base. I loved the combination so there is a few pictures!

So beautiful!! I didn’t want to add any nail art because I just like this layering the way it is.
Thanks for looking!

I know I haven’t done a Pink Wednesday in forever! This is the first Elevation polish I’ve tried, and I stalked the shop for a couple of months before I managed to grab this polish so I’m really excited to finally get to wear this.

A while ago I used to wear pink and brown together all the time, I wear other colors now but that still remains one of my favorite combinations. That’s why I thought to layer Daisen over a nice rich brown, Essie Little Brown Dress. Daisen has a mix of pink circle glitter, and tiny multicolored glitter. The base is very, very lightly tinted pink. It applied very well, with a good mix of glitter. This is one coat, and all the glitter laid flat on the nail.

I really love this polish and the mix of pinks, and I think it looks great over brown(although I’m sure it would look good other colors too)! And look on my index nail, there are three glitters shaped like a Mickey Mouse head!

I did a quick Valentine’s Day themed look for today with some hearts and glitter!

The base color used is Zoya Dove, then just using the nail polish brush I added the heart shapes with OPI Steady As She Rose, and China Glaze Concrete Catwalk. Then I dabbed Essie A Cut Above on the smallest heart and background.

Dove and Steady As She Rose looked to close to each other, I should have used a much darker pink to get the effect I wanted. A Cut Above is such a cute and sparkly glitter, I need to use it more often!

Hi guys! The polishes I have to show you today sound very yummy together, and they are really making me want chocolate! Take a look

This is Candeo Smores layered over Essie Hot Coco. Smores has a mix of brown hexes in two sizes, black squares, large and medium sized white hexes, and gold holographic glitter in a clear base. I applied one coat, I didn’t need to do any fishing for the glitters but they needed a little bit of help to position them where I wanted. Hot Coco was a a bit thin and sheer so I needed three coats to make it opaque enough to use as a base, but it’s so creamy looking it was worth it.

I love, love this combination!! In the bottle, this polish really reminds me of s’mores, and although I usually prefer silver holo glitter, the gold one works very well in this mix.

Smores is available at Candeo Colors for $9.
