Mint Comparision

Hi lovely readers!

Today I have a short comparison post, comparing the 3 minty polishes that I have.

L to R: Essie Mint Candy Apple, ELF Mint Cream, Milani Dressmaker

As you can see, these are all very different, and Milani dressmaker doesn't really fit in with the others as much as I thought it would it's a lot more green! the Elf polish was SUPER difficult to apply and I did not like it but for a $1 it's not TOO bad. the Essie Polish has to be my FAVOURITE out of all 3, it's the nicest mint polish ever, and so easy to apply! I don't have China Glaze Refresh Mint to try, but I assume it's the perfect mint polish!

What is your favourite mint nail polish?

Do you like mint nail polish or no?

milani dressmaker

How annoying was that that blogger was down!? so frustrating! today, I have a polish that I am SURE all of you have heard of, and it is Milani Dressmaker. This was sent to me by Michy from Original Wacky (THANK YOU!) - if you haven't seen her blog yet, go check it out, she has great posts about polish and her animal friends!

The true colour of this polish is pretty hard to explain, but it's a minty green with gold flecks? Getting a picture of the true colour is difficult, but you get the idea!
As for the application of this polish, it was very thin which made it hard to apply this was about 5 coats I think? But so worth it for the end result!

Thanks for reading! What do you think about this colour? What is your favourite minty green polish?

Another for audrey konad

I realize now that I have done a konadicure with this polish before, oh well what can I say except that I love this polish so much! We went to lunch to one of our relatives houses yesterday (not exactly sure how they are related to us, but they are!) so I thought I should do something less...flashy. So I decided For Audrey + konad! I used konad plate m57 (my favourite) and did this diagonal design that I've never done before, but it was a hit! (with konad special polish in white)


As most of you have experienced before, some polishes are super hard to capture the exact color, and for me this polish was one of them but I figured that is okay because you guys all have this polish anyways!

What do you think? Do you like For Audrey or no?

Today I bought some polishes - NO NOT FOR ME - for my swaps! Gosh is on sale for 4.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart, so you Canadian Gals should hit that up!

I ordered OPI DS Original which came in the mail today - YAY! (I'm expecting 2 more packages which BETTER get here on by wednesday otherwise they will be staying in this house until I come back for thanksgiving (Canadian thanksgiving is in October for you Americans) so I hope they come soon! One is a swap and one is a blog sale buy both from before my self imposed no buy - don't worry)

We had a high heat and humidity warning here :( so depressing but that's okay that meant I could stay inside and watch the Emmy's that I taped yesterday (don't you just hate those commercials). I laughed so hard, man that intro was so epic - GLEE should have won more though! and of course Lost! But I'm glad for John Lithgow and the Dexter writer/director/not sure what he was !

Did you like the Emmy's ? Man I love tv so much

ps: i'm looking to do a swap with someone from Europe who has access to GOSH Holographic (which we don't have here in Canada) and maybe some other European brands like Catrice and H&M polishes - lemme know if you are interested and we will figure something out!

for audrey konad

I've been wanting to use this Konad plate for a while now, but I wasn't sure how it would look since it is such a delicate pattern. I was quite pleased with how this turned out! It's very elegant and would work perfectly for a wedding!
So I used the rose design from this plate:

This is Konad plate M65 stamped with Konad special polish (white) + China Glaze For Audrey

Excuse the lack of clean up.
This was topped off with my new favourite thing in the whole world - SECHE VITE!!!!!!! :)

Thanks for reading!!

It's almost the weekend! yay

ps: did anyone catch the new episode of So You Think You Can Dance? Lauren has always been my favourite! Good luck to her!!!!

Essie Resort Collection

HEY!
so the first polishes I tested from my haul were the Essie polishes, they are 3 lovely shades of purple, blue and green, and I am in LOVE with them all!!! I'm not really a fan of doing swatches, probably because I am not super good at them yet!

From L to R Lapis of Luxury, Splash of Grenadine, Mint Candy Apple

This applied very nicely, in about 3-4 coats, it was pretty thin, as you can see on the pinky, I got a bit lazy and did not do enough coats!

The purple is such a nice colour, I can't think of any polishes that I have that could be compared (although my collection is quite limited compared to some of yours!) so if you know any polish that is similar let me know! This one had the best application out of the 3 for me! Excuse the blue polish on the ring finger! :)

This one was my FAVOURITE, that is until I put it on! I wanted to show you how gloppy it was, that is why I didn't fix the first two fingers, I feel like polish shouldn't do that! It should be easy application! Love the colour though! I'm gonna work on fixing this one, I probably should do thinner coats!!

Hope you liked them! Do you have any from this collection? "The Resort Collection"? Which ones are your favourite?

Hope you had a great Tuesday!

Thanks for reading !!!!! :)
