Essie Fishnet Stockings

I've been loving everything red the past few days & I love the way Essie Fishnet Stockings is the perfect shade of rouge for my warm golden skin tone.

What's your perfect red?

Artsy Aussie Wednesday

This weeks Artsy Wednesday theme was Animal print.
For my first attempt at an animal print I decided to go Natural. I chose a leopard print.

I used 3 colors for this effect :

Sally Hansen's Smooth Perfect color care in Dune was the base color

Essie's Case Study & Sally hansens Nail Growth Miracle in Forbidden Fudge were used to make the print.

I used the end of a paint brush to make various size spots on my nail in Case Study. I then used a toothpick and forbidden fudge to do the darker outline. Very easy & quick even though it looks like a complex pattern.

I am pretty happy with the turn out. I'd like to try it again using bright colors.

Essie Manicure

Today I have my Essie manicure using Armed and ready from The Go overboard collection. This a a greyed out army green with a hidden golden shimmer. For My accent nail I used Essie Case Study a rich camel beige. This is from the fall 2011 Brand new bag collection.

This is a beautiful pairing. I love the contrast between the two colors. Making the polka dots is extremely easy. Use the end of a makeup brush..
Perfect dots everytime.

I hope you enjoy this easy chic manicure. I'd love to see yours

Essie Shine Of The Times

Holy Mother of Flakies! We have quite a beautiful varnish in the LuxeEffect holiday 2011 collection .

This collection was such a suprise to me, as Essie is usually a bit more conservative in their color releases. This is definitely more on the Wild side& I LoVe it!

Can't wait to post picks of this Chameleon color over various shades for you! This one shade makes every polish different

Snap it up before its gone...especially if u missed out on Sally Hansens Treasure Chest or have been Lemming for Nubar 2010

I'm sure this will be one of my top 10 of 2011
