The Weekly Nail Report
Nail-job craving: More glitter experimentation.
How I satisfied that craving: Two coats of Essie in Cocktail Bling with a silver glitter topcoat of Essie in Set in Stone.
How this nail colour make me feel: Delicate and with a craving for Cadbury Mini Eggs–I think it’s the Easter-y lavender shade.
Love it or hate it: Like. Right now nothing seems to compare to Tinkerbell-esque my Christmas nails.
The Weekly Nail Report — the New Year’s Eve edition
I really was not feeling the deep, dark nail polish combo I applied a few days ago, so I swiped it all off and did something else for New Year’s Eve — but really it’s just a slight variation of what I had for Christmas:
This is two layers of Lancome Le Vernis in Rose Macaron 31, followed this time by Essie Luxe Effects in As Gold As It Gets, and again finished with Essie’s A Cut Above.
After all, I needed something as sparkly delicious as the Veuve Cliquot that’ll we’ll be drinking tonight :)
The Weekly Nail Report
Nail-job craving: Still in the experimenting-with-glitter phase.
How I satisfied that craving: I started with two layers of OPI in Vampsterdam (from their Holland collection) followed by Essie Luxe Effects in As Gold As It Gets. And then added more gold glitter using Deborah Lippmann in Boom Boom Pow.
How this nail colour make me feel: It actually doesn’t make me feel anything. It definitely doesn’t make my heart skip a beat like last week’s glittery pink nails did.
Love it or hate it: I don’t hate it, but I don’t think it’s very me. Just not feeling it. I think it’s something I’d admire on someone else’s nails but on me something’s off about it.
The Weekly Nail Report — the Christmas edition
Nail-job craving: OK, I’m being predictable: I want glittery goodness for the holidays.
How I satisfied that craving: I started with a layer of Lancome Le Vernis in Rose Macaron 31 (out in February 2012), followed by Essie Luxe Effects in Shine of the Times. The holographic sheen this offers is ah-may-zing. But then I added even more obvious glitter overtop with Essie’s A Cut Above.
How this nail colour make me feel: Like I have magical powers — everything I touch will twinkle and sparkle just a little.
Love it or hate it: Love.
