Essie Hors d'Oeuvres

This picture doesn't do Essie Hors d'Oeuvres justice.  It is a very shiny gold glitter with just enough silver glitter to add interest.  I really like this one.  Below I added a slanted French tip of Revlon Emerald City.  It is a good way to extend the life of a chipping manicure. 

Three polish fail

I still like this mani in theory, but not in practice.  It is Wet 'n Wild Megalast Bite the Bullet and I Need a Refresh Mint with China Glaze Foie Gras.  The needle marble is a total mess.  I like some of the nails.  But, overall, it is just too busy.  I may try something similar in the future with different colors.  Maybe two nude colors and one color color. 

Halloween Manicures

The first manicure is Essie Brazilliant and Sally Hansen Black Tie.  I did the Jack 'O Lantern with a dotting tool.  The second manicure is Zoya Ginessa, Spoiled Mind Your Beeswax, and Essie Brazilliant gradient.  Essie Pure Pearlfection is layered over the top. I'm pretty happy with both manicures.  This is my best candy corn mani to date.

Brown with a Flakie Gradient

This is Essie Partner in Crime with a gradient of Essie Shine of the Times.  This manicure just screamed fall.  I love it.  I did this one for Thanksgiving last year. 

Brown Dots

Wet 'n Wild Megalast Bite the Bullet with Wet 'n Wild Spoiled Pumping Gas dots.  I liked this manicure for fall.

Wet 'n Wild Megalast Bite the Bullet

This is Wet 'n Wild Megalast Bite the Bullet.  I think this is a pretty color, but it is just O.K. on me.  I'm a huge fan of the Megalast polishes formula and brush.  It wears really well on me. 

Essie Partner in Crime and Hors D'Oevres

This is Essie Partner in Crime with Essie Hors d'Oeuvres as an accent.  I really like both of these polishes.  Partner in Crime is a great dark brown without looking black.  Great for fall.  Hors d'Oeuvres is prettier in person.  It is a very bright, sparkly gold glitter polish with just enough silver to add interest.
