Essie - Don't sweater it

Today's post is a review about essie's Don't sweater it from the fall collection 2012. This is a lovely basic grayish brown color. If you want color but still want a natural look.

Now the color may look very plane and boring but it's not! Yes it does not have special effects but because it is so basic it matches every outfit. This color can go with anything and for any occasion! Work, School anything! 

Excuse my cuticles I am working on keeping them looking nice but it's an on going process! 

As you can see the color is fully opaque and there are no streaks or smudges. It has the usual awesome Essie quality, great wide brush that makes applying this color very easy. Great opacity within one coat, i always use two to get that glossy finished effect. And the best part is this color lasts for-ever on your nail! I had this color on my nails for I kid you not almost two weeks before I had to take it off.

This color is just amazing, as Essie colors almost always are. I used INM Out The Door Topcoat which gives it a nice glossy finish. I would give this polish 5/5 points! As I said before it's amazing!

OOTD Fun Spring Outfit

Hey guys. Today's blogpost is going to be an outfit of the day.

My ring, shirt and shoes are all from Primark. If you don't know what Primark is it is a shop, usually very large sized venues, that sells trendy and fun clothes for very low prices. I went to Primark for the first time about a week ago and bought some new spring/summer clothes.

My blazer is by WE. I have worn it before in outfits of the day but who doesn't wear their clothes twice! The thing I love most about this blazer is that it is so versatile. I can wear this blazer with a neat shirt over a neat pair of pants and it can look extremely neat and professional. And I can roll up the sleeves and wear a fun shirt with it and some casual jeans and shoes and it looks totally fun and playful!

I wore my hair in a loose ponytail because it is easy and my hair just wouldn't work loose. It just wasn't doing it for me. My earrings are from H&M, I bought them a really really long time ago so I don't think they are available any more :(

For make-up I wore my Chanel perfection lumiér foundation, MAC soft and gentle highlighter, Urban Decay original Naked palette on my eyes, Chanel inimitable intense mascara and Maybelline color sensational lipstick in 020 Tropical Pink on my lips.

I got my necklace for my 15th birthday. I absolutely love it and I really don't wear it enough.

 My jeans are from Hollister. They are the Super Skinny model. My legs are pretty long and I have these jeans in the length regular but I would have rather had them in the longer length. 

As I just got my shoes recently I wore ankle socks in the so I could break them in without getting blisters.

My nail polish is by OPI and it is called: Do You Lilac It. This color is perfect for spring time. It is fully opaque within two coats but you definitely have to be a bit careful applying it as it can get gloopy.

Primark t-shirt € 9

Primark shoes € 13

Primark ring € 3

OPI nail polish € 14

Maybelline lipstick € 10

I bought the blazer and jeans a while ago and I don't remember the exact prices.

I really enjoyed wearing this outfit and I had a fun time at Primark. I would definitely recommend going to a Primark when it is not super busy because it can get extremely busy and I always get a bit overwhelmed when that happens.

Essie - Stylenomics

Today's blogpost is a review of essie's Stylenomics. This polish is part of essie's fall collection 2012.

This is a very dark green color. It gives me a foresty feel, perfect for fall. Even though fall 2012 has passed this color is an easy transition into winter. 

The color looks absolutely stunning in the bottle but alas the color doesn't transfer to the nails. On the picture below the color looks pretty accurate to the bottle but in most light it looks black. If you don't mind having the look of black nails then you probably won't mind this color and in some forms of light it does look dark green but if you want a true dark green color then I wouldn't recommend this color.


The color pay off is excellent! It is fully opaque in one coat but a second coat does put the cherry on the icing. I used INM Out the door topcoat and the color lasted for about one week. The ends did chip a little bit but it did not bother me.

I give essie's Stylenomics a 2 out of 5. I was very disappointed that the color isn't true to the color in the bottle. The quality is excellent though, as most essie polishes are.

Essie - Dive Bar

Today's nail color is Essie's - Dive Bar. 

In the bottle it is this amazingly versatile color, that changes from a sparkly blue into a sparkly purple. It kind of reminds me of the universe. I know this sounds kind of vague but when you see a picture of the universe at night this color reminds me of that. 

Although the color is still very pretty on the nails it is not as spectacular as in the bottle. On the nails it is just a sparkly blue color. The " WOW " factor is definitely higher in the bottle than on the nail. The color still reminds me of the universe though. 

I used 2 coats on my nails. The color is fully opaque after 1 coat but for the extra shine and to make the coats more even I added an extra coat. The drying time took a bit longer than some other essie polishes, but it wasn't dramatically long.

This picture captures just how cool the polish looks in the bottle. The different colors, from blue to kind of an ocean green to a purple color is just amazing.

On a scale of 1-5 I would give this polish a 3. It looks amazing in the bottle but though it is pretty on the nails it is not as spectacular as in the bottle.

Essie is available at most drugstores and costs €10,-

OPI - I Think In Pink

Spring has sprung! Time to get out the fun spring colors. OPI's I Think In Pink is the perfect light pink for every day. Whether you are looking for a nice color for work, school or every day this color is a good choice. Also it will suit most skin tones.

I have two coats of nail polish on in the picture.

It can be a bit tricky to apply, as it is such a light color you may need more that two coats. However if you let each layer dry then you should not have to many problems.

This picture was taken in natural lighting.

This polish also works as a great color for on your toes. Perfect for spring and summertime too wear with sandals, flip flops and to the beach!
