Nail Polish Too Many to Name

Nail Polish Too Many to Name, Going through my untried polish I decided to create a combination in the same vain as this post because I liked the varied designs all together. I started with my favorite indie brand MyTenFriends in Close Encounters and from that color I was inspired to add Essence Break Through and OPI Honey Rider. As with all the MTF colors Close Encounter has the typical consistent, densely packed, easy spreading wonderful formula. Essence Break through is thin and I had to build it up using three coats. OPI Honey Rider is absolutely gorgeous! Some people are not into the new Liquid Sand, Sugar, Gum Drop phase of polishes now but I think they're great. This combination came out just as I imagined and I'm really happy with the results. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Essence New Look

Hi Ladies!

Sorry I've been gone for a little while, I was finishing up my term and trying to not get distracted with all these polishes I haven't swatched. My nails have gotten pretty long (for me that is) but I'm in love with them. I wish I would have had them in this shape a long time ago. On with the post though! A couple of weeks ago I snagged some of the newly shaped bottles by Essence. For those of you who do not know what the Essence line is, they cater to young girls and their little polish bottles are $1.99. They are full of gorgeous creamy, bright summery, or glittery gems. There is something for everyone. Here is the gorgeous Grey-T to be Here. This was my favorite of the 3 I swatched so far and you can tell by the many pics:

Grey-T to be Here is a beautiful light gray with the slightest (barely visible) pink shimmer. I wish they would have emphasized the pink shimmer more because that would have been awesome. I did receive so many compliments on this. It was a nice change from my normally bold pallet.

Above you can see the slight pink shimmer

The other two colors were Gorgeous Bling Bling and Date with the Moonlight (middle finger).

I have to be honest the application of Gorgeous Bling Bling was not as creamy as I'm used to for Essence but the color and the small gold shreds made up for that. I love oranges and earth tones and this color is no exception. The Date with the Moonlight was classic Essence formula and was easily a 1 coater. A showstopper for sure and the name is perfect because the blue shimmer was the right touch for this deep navy. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Close to My Heart

There are some colors that truly touch my spirit as corny as that sounds. These colors make me feel so gorgeous, and applying them only enhances my initial love for them in the bottle. They are definitely Close to My Heart. Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Essence "Date with the Night" is one of my all time favs. This is $.99 of pure joy

Nina Ultra Pro "Mossy Britches" is the prettiest green I own. It combines emerald. peridot, with gold undertones. Gorgeous!

OPI "Designer De Better" the first swipe of the brush I literally gasped in awe. It's like liquid platinum with flecks of gold. Amazing!

Ulta "Dance Teal Dawn". This is so deep and true to it's name. Literally the color dances in the light and switches from blue to green and back again. Great teal.

Orly "Ingenue" reminds me of OPI "Its My Year" It goes from fuchsia to the golden tan sparkle you see below. Another one that dances in the light.

China Glaze "First Mate" is a great blue that reminds me of my favorite jeans. Its the only blue that in my mind feels like a neutral color that I can wear with anything.

China Glaze "Unplugged". I was looking for a metallic chocolate brown and I found it in this color. I have a love of earth tones and metallics and this color combines both.

SH Diamond Collection "Save the Date" This is my absolute favorite color I have EVER worn. Not ever seen, but I have to say when I picked this up I didn't think I would love this so much. Lets' just put it this way: if the house was burning down I'm coming for this bottle.
