I am absolutely in love with this Essie nail polish and I actually understand what the bloggers were talking about. I applied the Rimmel Blue Vogue which is a dark blue almost black blue. I just applied one coat and then after it dried up, I applied one coat of Essie Shine of the times. The picture doesn’t do justice to this nail polish but you could see lot of swatches in the blogs. I love the shine and I kept looking at my nails 
. I got lot of compliments for this nail polish as well

I found this Essie mini Summer collection 2011 in TJ Maxx and I just couldn’t resist them . Seriously 4 nail polish for $ 10, who can resist it. The colors seen here are Meet Me at Sunset, Smooth Sailing, Braziliant and Super Bossa Nova. I have see one more collection but it was like a natural looking nail polish which I am not fond of. Hopefully these look good on my nails .
Nail #32 : Sinful Colors

This is my first Sinful Colors nail polish and I got this free from a purchase from AllWellan’s Good . I also realised that the shop was giving away unsold products and so this must be an unpopular color. This is called 309 Flirting Nails. At the first sight, it reminded me of Sephora OPI Metro Chic but a pearly version. The bottle remains me of China Glaze . When I got this, I wasn’t interested in this at all. The color didn’t grab me and it looked ok in the bottle.
So 2 days ago, I wanted to paint my nails something nude as I was not in a bold color mood . I thought I will try this one after not touching it for almost 2 months. The formulation is quite impressive as it goes on smoothly and brush is good as well, no streaking .
I think the best way to describe the color is an Ice cold coffee colour but when I went out that day, I also realised that it also had a light copper tinge as well. I can’t describe the colour to the dot but its a fantastic nude . I am liking this color on my nails . Will definitely buy more of this nail polishes to try in future.

This is Lakme True wear nail colour in N236 and I love it. When I went to the Lakme parlour to do my manicure and pedicure, I loved this colour in their collection and decided to go for it. When I came out of the parlor, out in the sun, It was looking fantastic . This is a plummy pink colour, I really can’t describe the colour .
The formulation and the brush is good as well, no streaks. I just need one coat of the nail polish.

This is a popular Dry Fast Top Coat. I was introduced to this product by MissChevious from YouTube as she said this help in fast drying the nail polishes. I got this from Sally Beauty in USA for about $ 5 (I think). This is seriously good. Its basically a clear top coat but its a little but thicker than other top coats.
When applied on top of the nail polishes, it give such a gloss to the nail polishes. Within 5 min, the nails are dry and it is perfect especially when you are planning to go out. Also if you are like me, making a mess of it before it dries up, then its perfect as it dries faster. I always have an accident after I apply the nail polish. Either its a scratch on the top or sometimes I even forget its there and then touch some stuffs which leads to messing up my nail polishes.
Its a perfect stash especially if you are a nail person.
Nail #12 : Beauty Secrets

This is a Ridge Filler which can be also used as base coat. Sometime the nails do not have smooth surface and so when ridge filler is applied, it gives the nail polish a smooth look. I got this from Sally’s Beauty for about $ 2.50 . This was recommended by MissChevious from YouTube as she uses this as a base coat.
I thought why not give it a try as its very inexpensive. It also eliminates rough spots in the nails which give a smooth surface for the nail polish. I have been using this for all my nail polishes and It is quite nice. It did give my nail a smooth look. It also suppose to give extra protection for the nails and cuticle.
This is the base coat which I use all the time and I am happy with it.
Nail #11 : Sephora OPI

This is one of the most popular colours from Sephora OPI and its called “Metro Chic”. The Sephora has a collection of nail polishes which are by OPI and the colours are unique to Sephora only. Metro chic is a dark taupe colour looks almost muddy brown with a hint of purple colour. It’s a unique colour and its very popular in the beauty community. I had my eye on this colour as Laura from Lollipop26 in YouTube talks about this a lot.
I bought this from Sephora for about $ 8, expensive when compared to normal OPI or even China Glaze. But as I wanted to try this colour, I bought it. The formulation is good just like OPI, applies very smoothly without any streaks. But talking about the colour, hmmmm, What can I say? It did nothing to my skin tone. It was seriously so boring on me and It’s certainly not noticable at all.
Maybe it looks good on fair skin rather than a medium/olive skin tone. It’s certainly a forgettable colour for me. Maybe after wearing such bright colours for 2 months, it looks bland on me. I don’t know the reason, but It is most definetely not my favourite colour

I did my nails today so i thought why not post about it. This is my second time trying it out and it was better than the first time. But my right hand is little bit too messy because my left hand kept shaking when I tried applying. So I am posting some pics and it looks quite good .
