More Essence Polish

After having such a good experience with Essence polish, I decided to try out some more shades. I really am falling in love with this brand! I bought a nice grey shage 'Movie Star' , I also picked up one of the new colours a bright yellow 'Wanna be your sunshine'.

I started with 2 coats of the 'Movie Star'.

I decided to do a dotting design on my ring fingernail. I did 2x coats of 'Wanna be your sunshine' and 1xcoat of 'Movie Star'  dotting.

I finshed the Manicure with 2xcoats OPI top coat.

I was very happy with the results, I am in love with Essence, there is so many colours and glitters to choose from. I also really like the brushes with them, they are very even and are a nice length for creating a neat manicure. Hope you guys like it!

Pink Polka Dot Nails

Decided the other day to try out a new pink look! I did a simple dotting design. Really think it gives the manicure a cute finish! I added some sequence to my ring finger nail.

I used Rimmel 60 second nail polish in Portobello Pink & OPI in Alpine White

I was very happy with the result!

Vintage Fair

On Sunday my sis, my friend and I went to a Vintage Fair in Dun Laoghaire. Had a lovely time, everyone was dressed up for the occasion; Wish i'd gotten some photos of the clothes!

I didn't buy anything I like vintage stuff but I think it can be a bit pricey. My sister got a few bargains, she loves anything vintage so she was thrilled when she found this Fair!

She got this beautiful butter dish.

She also picked up these lovely saucers & matching serving tray.

Father Ted Party

On Friday night I attended a friend's Father Ted themed Birthday Party. I didnt dress up as I didnt have time to think up an outfit but there was some fabulous costumes on display! Take a look!

From the party, a few of us decided to head into town for some dancing. Lucky for us a party bus came to collect us from the house, and we had a lil disco along the way.

I was dragging my tired butt to bed at 5.30am, obviously I did not make an appearance at the gym on Saturday!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! xoxo

Essence Polish

I've read such great things about Essence polishes on both agirlandherpolish and Sweet Sugar so I decided I'd have to give them a try.

They can be found in most Dunnes Stores and Penneys (Primark) around Ireland. Retailing at the fabulous price of 1.29 per bottle!

I went to purchase one and was overcome by the assortment of colours, shades, glitters!! So I settled on four bottles for now!

Modern Romance, Fateful Desire, Space Queen, A lovely Secret.

The first colour I tested was 'A lovely Secret'. Here's how it turned out!

Base Coat, 2x A lovely Secret, Top Coat.

Next I to tried out 'Modern Romance' with 'Space Queen'. The manicure worked out lovely, sorry the pictures aren't great!

Base Coat, 2x Modern Romance, 2x Space Queen, Top Coat.

I was very happy with the Essence polishes and will definitely purchase more, I think i've started a new obsession! The only downside I could find to these polishes was, they tend to dry very quickly, guess this can be a good thing, but if you're a bit of a slow painter, like myself, you may run into some difficulty.
