Essence Colour and Go Polishes + Nail Art

Hi ladies!

Today's post is a doozy, but hopefully in a good way! I have a few Essence Colour and Go polishes to show you with nail art. Let's get started!

This is Walk of Fame, a griege/taupe shade. This is 2 coats without topcoat, so it's pretty shiny on it's own.


For nail art, this is one of our stamping plates (XL plate I) stamped with Konad Black polish. I love how complicated this design looks, even though it's not that hard to get!


The next shade is Can't Cheat on Me. This is a slightly holographic silver. Here is 2 coats.


Faubuless is a black with silver shimmer flecks in it. This is 2 coats.

This nail art combines the last 2 polishes to create a design I LOVE! All my fingers but the ring are stamped in OMG. The ring is stamped with Konad Black. The stripes come from XL plate I and the abstract squares from XL plate A.

Here it is in sunlight.


And it truly comes to life with the camera flash! <3


The next color is Date with the Night, silvery brown shimmer. This is 2 coats also.


I love this design too...cute peacock feathers. The colors were simply dotted in with a dotting tool. The design comes from XL plate J.


And finally, this is Where is the Party? This is a purple/green duochrome. The next few pictures try to capture that.




And for the final nail art look, this is XXL plate #2.


I have seen these polishes at Ulta, and you can find more info about the stamping plates in my Shop tab.

So that's it! Which color and design are your favorite?

Peppermint Nails

Hey polish lovahs! 

I finally have some nail art today! I am going to not do so many swatches anymore because it's not why I wanted to start this blog. As much as I love love love polish on it's own, nail art will always be my first love. :)

I have been wanting to showcase the nail art plates that we have up for sale since a lot of you have been asking about the quality. My next few posts will also be featuring designs from those plates too, so keep an eye out! 

The design for this manicure comes from XL plate I.  Sinful Colors Snow Me White is the base and a red stamping polish was used for the design. This gets me so excited for all the holiday/winter manis that are coming up! 


To add to the candy look, here it is with Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Glass Slipper layered on top. I love this topcoat...can't go wrong with a white flakie!


Please tell me I am not the only one excited for making fun holiday and winter manis! :)

Dr.'s Remedy Fall Fever Swatches + Nail Art

Hi readers! :)

Today I have Dr.'s Remedy Fall 2011 collection to show you. It consists of 3 cremes. All of these were almost one coaters!

The first is BALANCE Brick. I saw this as more of a dark red than a brick shade, but either way it's a fabulous creme that is super easy to work with!


We added nail art to all of these polishes too. This design is from one of our new stamping plates XL plate I. The design is stamped with Color Club Antiquated.


Next up is Defense Deep Red. This polish is SUPER pigmented! You have to be careful not to get it on your skin while painting because it won't come off without staining. But this is a great shade for fall.


This design comes from XL plate C. 


And finally, my favorite of the trio, Noble Navy. I can honestly say this is the only polish I have like this.   It's a perfect navy blue. Love it!


This design comes from XL plate C also.


What do you think of this collection?

You can find this collection at remedynails.com.
