Color Club Shabby Drab

I am a sucker for any blurple polish, so when Color Club released Shabby Drab from their Back to Boho Collection, I knew I must get it.

Color Club Shabby Drab - three coats

Shabby Drab is a dusty cornflower creme, and although the formula is a bit on the sheer side (I did three coats here), I like how it has a milky and squishy finish.

I got a bunch of Nubar art pens a couple months ago, so I used the gold one and drew two diagonal lines to spice up my mani. It is a very simple nail art, but I quite like end result! Do you girls agree? :)

Layering: Missha Pink Pearl over Essie Power Clutch

Missha Pink Pearl top coat (one coat) over Essie Power Clutch (two coats)

I have had this Missha Pink Pearl top coat hidden away for awhile now, and finally I get to try it today! It is a clear base top coat packed with multicolor shimmers, and boy am I totally wowed by the gorgeous effect! This top coat gives out a soft, almost pastel-looking shimmery look, and all the different colors just blow me away. Here is a closer look:

Isn't it just amazing? I can see yellow, lilac, pink, blue, orange and green tiny shimmers shining through. This would definitely jazz up any creme polish to make it a little extra special!

Essie Power Clutch - two coats

And here is Essie Power Clutch by itself. It is a dark grey creme from the 2011 Fall Collection. Formula is good and easy to apply, and it is such an appropriate shade for the Fall/Winter. It also makes a great base for layering because of its darker color, I can't wait to play around with it some more!

Nubar - Treasure

Just a quick post today. Nubar is a light purple scattered holo, and I really like it because even though the holo effect is quite subdued,  it is not in your face and still very pretty.

Nubar Treasure (two coats) with China Glaze Latticed Lilac (french tips)

I got some minor tipwear after a day, so I did a french mani with China Glaze Latticed Lilac crackle polish to cover it up. This is such a quick and easy way to change the look of any mani, I will be using this combination more!

Have you tried this mani before? Personally I am glad to find a new way to use my crackle polishes! Do you have other suggestions or ideas? I would love to hear from you!

Butter London - All Hail The Queen with Essence Circus Confetti

Hello my readers! Today I have for you Butter London All Hail The Queen. I wanted to go for a more neutral color after all the glamorous holiday mani, and AHTQ seems like the perfect choice.

Butter London All Hail The Queen (two coats) layered with Essence Circus Confetti (one coat)

Then I thought being New Year and all, why not jazz it up a little with Essence Circus Confetti? I really like how this turns out; a mani that is not in your face but still fun!

AHTQ two coats with no top coat

And here is All Hail The Queen on its lonesome. It is a neutral / beige with tiny micro holo glitters. It applies on nails like butter, and dries to a very glossy finish. Initially I thought this looks like a boring polish inside the bottle, but it makes me feel more sophisticated and ladylike after putting it on my nails, I really love it!

New Year's Eve Mani

Happy New Year peeps! Here is to 2012, may the new year brings everybody good health, good fortune, and most importantly, more awesome polishes!

OPI Lucerne Tainly Look Marvelous (three coats) with Essence silver stamping polish

Just a quick post on my NYE mani. I used OPI Lucerne Tainly Look Marvelous as a base color, and did a simple stamping with Essence silver stamping polish to jazz it up. Although my stamping skill is still not the greatest, I like how it turns out, elegant and not over the top. I got quite a few compliments on my nails too! I am also in awe of how awesome Lucerne Tainly Look Marvelous looks! The tiny pink, green, yellow, blue and purple shimmers twinkle on the pewter base, stunning!

That's it girls, thank you for sticking around and showing your support for my blog. I look forward to sharing more gorgeous polishes with you in 2012! :D
