Essie Butler Please Review and Swatch

Hey loves,
It has been a while since I did a review/ swatch for you guys. 2013 is turning out to be a very busy year for me and I am very thankful for that! With that being said, I am trying to find a way to balance all of my new hobbies together and making them work for meJ.

As many of you all know, I have nail polish obsessionJ. I have the video here to prove it. Lol. I love trying different brands of nail polishes and trying different nail design because that allows my creativity to flow. The other day I was at a local discount nail shop and came across the 2012 winter collection from Essie and bought Butler Please.
Butler Please is a very bright vibrant blue nail polish that looking amazing in the bottle but when you apply it, the color dries to a muted matte finish that looks terrible without a top coat. The polish is streaky and it’s not the kind of formula you would expect Essie to create. The nail polish didn’t go on smoothly as some other colors from this brand. I had to apply and re-apply the nail polish 3 times to get the color to look good. I would recommend when applying the color, don’t wipe away the excess on the edge of the bottleneck like you normally would but instead take a dollop of color and apply directly to the nail bed. That will allow you to get a full coat on your nails and it will still dry the same as if you applied a thinner coat. Overall, I have to say that this color looks great when it’s completed but it does take some work to get it there. If you have the patients to work with this color, I would say it’s worth picking because how beautiful color the color is…..but be aware you will DEFINITELY have to work with it.
Enjoy!





From one nail polish lover to another:)!

Rimmel London Pro Nail Polish Burgundy Flirt Review and Swatch

Hey loves,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I have a very pretty shade to share with you from the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Polish collection. I bought this nail polish a couple of months ago from CVS with a coupon and had it sitting in my nail polish collection pile for a while and waiting for the perfect time to wear it. While looking for nail polish to paint my nails, I came across this color and I knew this would be the one. Since the season is changing, I knew this color would be ABSOLUTELY perfect for fall.

Burgundy Flirt - a very classic vampy red nail polish that every girl should own. It's a very true burgundy nail color and can be applied with two coats since the color apply very well. The nail polish has a creamy  texture and with two coats, you won't experience any patchiness. 

For me, I felt that with the two coats the color was very opaque but I really wanted the color to stand out so I used another coat then applied Seche Vite to dry it. I really loved that even with three coats, the nail polish dried fast and I was able to touch things without having to worry about getting my nails messed up:). 

The nail polish retails for $3.99 at CVS and at that price, it such a great deal. You would pay twice sometimes three times that price for higher brand nail polish and some of them won't be as creamy and pigmented as this brand. I am really impressed with Rimmel's nail polish and I love the brush that comes with it. It makes applying the color fast and easy. I wish all other brand would follow suit.

The formula is very glossy and you can get away without wearing a top coat. But with a top coat, my nails look even more amazing.
