Manicure Monday: Essie 'Good Morning Hope' (Breast Cancer AwarenessCollection)

Hello There Ladies:

I know, I know! I've been absent for a few days and you have missed me right? (Ok maybe not) but I've missed blogging and sharing my thoughts to anyone who reads.

As you might have noticed lately I've been photographing three fingers, since my index nail broke and a few days ago my middle finger nail broke so I'm back to having short nails :( 

Good Morning Hope: is a light milky baby pink. 

Wow! The formula was awful, it is super sheer and for picture above it took 4 coats (sigh) it dried a bit slow but it finally reached opacity. 

This polish and the other 3 are a repromote from last years Breast Cancer Awareness Collection. I got it when my local Shoppers Drugmart couldn't sell them anymore and were selling them for $2. 

I guess it's worth the $2 but not the $9.99 they are selling them for, although is for a good cause. 

I hope you have liked this post and maybe buy it for yourself ;) Thanks for reading. 

Manicure Monday: Essie "Naughty Nautical" Summer 2013 Collection

Hey there beauties, 

I have yet another spectacular nail polish. It's Essie's Naughty Nautical! This was release for summer 2013. But let me just say after this post you will give the nail polish never ending love❤.

The application was a one coater but I did put a second coat just to be on the safe side. It does have some shimmer which is  mostly visible on the bottle, but it was quite hidden on the nail. But then again it gives the polish a very good depth and makes it shine on its own.

This formula was absolutely spectacular, Nowadays is hard to find one coater nail polishes. Drying time was excellent. Essie made it again by launching a very solid collection that keeps the nail polish lovers buying their products. 

Unfortunately to me this was the only shade in the whole collection that stood out, as the other ones look identical to something else, nevertheless I love this shade and formula. 

Thank you for reading this spectacular post and I hope you read my next post! Thank you all once again for reading and take care! Xoxo

Ps. Co-written with my cousin Veronica :)

Mani Monday : Essie "Lilacism"

Hello There Ladies:

Today I have a manicure that I'm excited to share. I like every color I dont make any exception unless,I know is not going to look good with my skin tone but due to the fact that I have an olive complexion most if the colors compliment me.

Todays nail polish is Originally from the Art of spring collection of 2010. However is has been added to their regular line so it is easily available either at your local nail salon or Walmart or any drugstore. 

Lilacism: light beige purple creme. 

The formula was a bit watery but it wasn't  troublesome, it took two coats to reach full opacity. 

Now, I love this color it has become one of my favorites, I'm absolutely in love and is my third favorite. The first one is Orly in Sweet Peacock and second is Zoya Apple. 

Maybe at the end of the year I should do a top 10 favorite nail polish what do you think???

Anyways I hope you have liked this post and please dont forget to follow me on instagram under canadianbeautyfinds oh, and thanks for reading take care xoxoxo 

Manicure Monday: Essie Nothing Else Metals

Hello There Ladies:

Today I have this metallic nail polish that I'm kind of crazy about. I'm loving metallic colors. This is the second shade I have worn from this collection and not everything is perfect I know they tried to branch out of what they are use to. 

Nothing Else Metals: is a Silver Lilac 

Picture below is further away from light showing the rosy purple side to it.

The shade is just so womanly which is quite nice in a nail polish is so rosy with a touch of purple and metallic haha!

Now onto the 'bad' haha, not everything on this polish is good as the application is quite a pain in the you know what! Some nails required one coat but others needed two. This also requires some tricky application skills just because you can't go over twice in the same stroke as  it will take the previous stroke and looks ugh! plain ugly. Now lets go back to the good side drying time. 

Drying time was marvelous it dried in record time but don't get fooled and apply top coat, because it will take some of the polish away *sigh*. Give it a good 5 minutes before applying top coat.

Essie Mirrors Metallic Collection:

1. Blue Rhapsody

2. Nothing Else Metals

3. Penny Talk

4. No Place Like Chrome

5. Good As Gold (Not Owned)

Manicure Monday: Essie Coat Azure

Hello There My Ladies:

Well today I'm back with yet another mani Monday, I still haven't forgotten this series and I'm gonna go till I run out polishes to post, which is going to be a long while.

Coat Azure: medium blue with shimmer

What does Essie say for their inspiration color:

relax as you melt into glittering ocean waters. this breathtaking medium blue nail lacquer with shimmer brushes on the perfect beachside holiday.

This polish is quite awesome I was really into the color and it had some stares from me and compliments from others, which I don't normally get.

I really love it, it took two thin coats for full opacity and it dried relatively fast. Although it mentions the shimmer in the description and also in the bottle when you look at it, don't expect it to transfer on your application because it doesn't.  This is more like a creme and very or non existent shimmer. 

Coat Azure was released some time ago back in 2011 for their Spring collection, this is a very lovely spring color. This shade is available in their regular line and you can find it where Essie is sold. 

Hope you have liked this nail polish as much as I did ... Thanks for reading and take care xoxo

Manicure Monday: Essie Metallic Blue Rhapsody

Hi my lovely reader,

Well today I have Essie Blue Rhapsody Mani, this polish is from the Mirrors Metallic 2012.

Blue Rhapsody is a sky blue and a bit of silver in it. Application was very smooth however it was very sheer on the first coat but second coat it was streaky which really is what you expect from a metallic polish. After top coat was applied the streakiness was less visible.
On the picture it looks very streaky but in person it was not that streaky at all, I was very please with it, so I went out and buy the whole collection so you'll see them in later post on "Manicure Mondays".

Mirrors Metallic has 5 Shades
1. Blue Rhapsody
2. Penny Talk
3. Nothing Else Metals
4. No Place Like Chrome
5. Good As Gold (Not Owned)

Till my next post ... Take care :)

Essie Leading Lady (winter collection 2012)

Hi lovelies,

It been some time since I haven't updated any post. The holiday season do take your time but it also reminds of things you really care about Family! If you are reading I hope you had an amazing Christmas Day and Shopping day here in Canada on Boxing Day. I did go 'boxing' as I call it, after couple of years of not going. I went to the mall and bought some stuff at Bath & Body Works which I love, as well as se other stores ... Hahaha I love this time of year!

Onto my nail polish of the day which is Essie Leading Lady. This polish came out as their recently launch of their winter collection. This and where's my chauffeur I got from the whole collection, while the other color were very nice I just thought this were the most unique ones.

Leading lady it has a red base with lots of finely milled glitter. Application is not the best because it applies sheer and very patchy and you cannot go over it because it takes away the previous polish stroke and this is only on the first coat. By the second coat it covers a bit more so you need 3 coats. Once your manicure applied it looks like the base was actually black and red glitter. Overall I like the color I dislike the application it becomes a pain (in the you know where lol)

Until next time enjoy the holidays!!!
