Mermaids Dream

This polish is absolutely beautiful! It's called "Mermaid's Dream" by Deborah Lippmann. This polish is a pearly sea foam green with blue glitter.

I took several pictures of this polish because the more I walked around into different lights I saw how it gave it a different look. No matter what it is just beautiful and stunning to have on my fingers!

These picture was taken in my kithen in bright artificial light:

Checker Board

Checker Board tape design, with "Smooth Sailing" and "Loophole" by Essie.

I have gotten a few requests for a tutorial for tape designs, if you are interested in one too please let me know by commenting below!

Smooth Sailing

"Smooth Sailing" by Essie, a beautiful purple-ish blue color with a pearl reflection. Originally I was going to use one of my Luxeffects along with this polish but it is so pretty on it's own that I left it alone.

This second picture really shows the pearl reflection in the bottle.

Polish Haul!

Lately I have been on an Essie binge, I love their polish and they have been around since 1981 so they have a great formula and all their polish goes on nice and smooth. I have been so excited to get the Luxeffects collection and I can't wait to test them out and show you. I also picked up their base and top coats to try out as I just ran out of my Butter London Base and Top... So far so good!!

Here are the Essie Luxeffects, "Shine Of The Times", "Pure Pearlfection", "A Cut Above", "Set In Stones", and "As Gold As It Gets".

The top row is two top coats, "Good To Go" and "Matte About You", the base coat is, "Fill The Gap". Bottom row are a few colors I picked up, "Absolutely Shore", "Dive Bar", "Cocktail Bling" (in previous post), and "Borrowed and Blue".

Cocktail Bling

“Cocktail Bling” is a creamy grey-ish purple polish by Essie, and I have “Servin’ Up Sparkle” by OPI on my accent finger.
