NOTW: Birthday manicure

23. april 2014


Hello lovelies! Today I'd like to show you my birthday manicure. My nails were in need of some fresh 'paint' so the evening before my birthday I decided to create this manicure. Hubby chose the base color - I offered him my new Essie nail polishes to choose from and he went for Turquoise & Caicos. It's a stunning shade, but I decided to give it a bit of 'bling' as well, so I went for Essence's Glorious Aquarius glitter top coat.

I love this Essie shade - in the bottle it kind of looks mint but on the nails it's a wonderful turquoise color. Unfortunately, turquoise and my camera don't seem to like each other - every time I take pictures of a product/item/nail polish that's this kind of color, it comes out a bit... patchy? It just doesn't look clean and clear as it should. I think the last picture, taken in direct sunlight demonstrates the color most accurately. :)



Nailtiques Formula 2 (base coat)
Essie Turquoise & Caicos (2 coats)
Essence Glorious Aquarius (glitter)
Seche Vite Dry fast (top coat)





(in direct sunlight)


So, what do you think of this combo? Would you wear something like this on your nails? Which is your favorite Essie nail polish? :)

    1. Haha... hvala Manca! Sicer trenutno nisem čisto zadovoljna z obliko, ker so malo preveč ovalni, ampak drugače so pa zdravi. Cepijo se mi že zelo dolgo ne... :)

    1. Jaz pa ravno z glitterji rada eksperimentiram... je pa res, da je super če imaš 'nail wheels' in na njih prvo sprobaš ideje. :D
