Essie Fair Game

In the last two weeks I've hauled to beat all hauls, and have found myself with roughly 50  or more un-trieds. So in the next coming weeks I'm going to try and swatch most of them for you. 

I haven't been around the last week, and for that I apologize. I recently started working at my church. So on top of going to school, I'm working two jobs. But I've finally got my schedule down and am be back to normal scheduled programming :D

Today I have for you Essie's Fair Game. This came out in 2011 with their Resort Fair Game Collection.

 Fair Game is a grey blue with shimmer. It is a wonderful one coater, but I did use two coats to try and hide some of the streakiness. I'm sure the streaking was due to my brushing so many times. 


 My cuticles are looking harsh, but much better than what they were.. Just a work in progress!

Final Verdict: I really like this polish. It's a beautiful color. I highly recommend it :)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Essie French Affair

'French Affair' is a gorgeous rosy pink. I think this is what Barbie was painting on her tips and toes while Ken was mowing the lawn. It's that pink and that wonderful! This has a great formula, just like 'Sand Tropez'. It became opaque for me in two coats.

I was pretty skeptical about an Essie pink polish. I had tried 'Sugar Daddy' and that was just ridiculous! It was sooooooo sheer and I hated that formula. So I was definitely pleasantly surprised and I ended up loving this color! It's so bright and summery!




LOL, and I totally forgot to clean up before taking these, sorry! Thanks for checking me out!! Have a fantastic day!!

Essie Sand Tropez

I picked up 'Sand Tropez' when I was sick and then went shopping.. yah.. feel sorry for me.. lmbo! I'm a horrible person :D 

Anyway! 'Sand Tropez' is a beautiful sand colored nude. It has a wonderful formula and is super easy to work with. It became opaque for me in two coats. I used Nail Magic as my base and topped it off with Seche Vite.




Thanks for reading guys!!! You are the best followers!! Have a great day!

So yesterday I pinched a nerve in my mouth. I can no longer chew, or even touch my teeth together on the left side of my mouth. So I had a doctor's appointment today and after my mom decided to take me shopping.

We first stopped off at sally's they had a HUGE amount of fingerpaints polish on clearance for $1.99. I picked up 'Coral Complement'.
