Beauty Swellness: The Nail Report

June 7, 2013

Nail-job craving: I went to a nail spa event with nothing in mind for my nails — even though I should’ve thinking “What does one wear to a boy band concert?!” (Going to see The Package Tour — NKOTB, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men — tonight!).

How I satisfied that craving: I picked up Essie Bouncer It’s Me (hey, that name kinda makes sense if I were trying to get backstage tonight!) as I really like Essie Butler Please and I welcome having someone else apply blue shades on my nails as I find any imperfections really show when I apply them myself.

How this nail colour makes me feel: Bouncer It’s Me turned out to be way darker than I was wanting. I got home and wanted a way to change it up, but I have no skills when it comes to nail art. But then I spotted the bottle of L’Oreal Top Coat Dots in my basket o’ nail polishes that I’ve been meaning to try, and easy peasy, the tiny speckled white and black dots added a sprinkling of fun-ness.

Love it or hate it: Love the Dots topcoat from L’Oreal, so-so on this shade of blue from Essie.
