Nail Of The Week 003 | For The Twill Of It

I  HAD to pick up this color from Essie's Fall 2013 collection. The rest were pretty, but they weren't completely unique like this color. There were only three left and I considered picking up two because I loved it so much, but I want someone else to enjoy it as much as me!

Essie describes "For The Twill Of It" as a medium brown with green shimmer. To me, it looks more of a steel gray with purple-ish, greenish, turquoise-ish shimmer. You can't capture the beauty of this through a computer screen, so I suggest you run to the store and check it out! 

Nail Of The Week 002 | Glitter Dipped

This week I am getting pretty adventurous with my nails (obviously)

I remember seeing a photo of nails like this a long while ago, and I used to do it all the time. While painting my nails with my new Zoya polish, I found I wasn't completely happy with how the polish applied. I originally planned to do just one glitter-dipped accent nail, and it quickly got out of hand and...I went glitter crazy!

It was rather simple to do, all you need is a nail polish, clear coat, and a fine glitter of your choice. If there is interest, I'll post a picture tutorial. These nails can be neutral with a natural shade of polish and glitter, or a huge statement with a bright polish!

Products Used:
Zoya "Jacqueline"
LA Splash Glitter in "Enlightened"

Nail Of The Week 001 | Mermaid Nails

Since I recently took it upon myself to remove my own acrylic and tips and give a MUCH needed rest to my nails after a few years, I decided to start posting my nail polish for the week (original, right?)

This week I'd like to say farewell to summer by having my nails nude one last time, but this time with a be achy twist. I had purchased a limited edition Essie nail polish named "Shine of the times" that has glitter-y foil-y pieces that reflect light and resemble fish scales. I put it over Essie's nude "Vanity fairest" for a subtle look. When you put Shine of the times over black, it's not so subtle...

Pardon my iPhone photo, it was nearly impossible for my actual camera to pick up the polish.

You can purchase "Shine of the times" on Amazon.
You can purchase "Vanity fairest" on Amazon or at your local Walgreens.
