Swatches: Essie Naughty Nautical & NYC Matte Me Crazy

Hey guys! Today I splurged a little bit and got an Essie polish, which is pretty rare! I have had my eye on Naughty Nautical for a while. I also picked up Matte Me Crazy from NYC because I didn't have a matte top coat before. I am very impressed with both of them!

Essie Naughty Nautical:

I love this color! It is from the Essie 2013 Summer Collection and it is super gorgeous! It is mostly blue with a hint of green and it has some sparkles in it! It is very pretty! Great formula too, which is expected from Essie. I used a base coat, 2 coats, and no top coat in these pictures!

NYC Matte Me Away Top Coat:

I am in love with this polish! It works really well and drys super fast! It totally works shown here!

See, totally matte! These are some pictures I took with it over Essie Naughty Nautical!

I would recommend adding both of these polishes to your stash! Have a great day!

31 Day Challenge- Day 2 Orange!

Hey there! Today's theme is orange from the 31 day challenge. I probably spent more time picking out my orange color than actually doing my nails. Orange is my favorite color so I have a ton of polishes that are orange. I also got a dotter and brush today so I had to try them out! I love the new brush because before I just had to use a toothpick! I'm never going back! For this mani I used Wet n Wild Sunny Side Up, NYC Times Square Tangerine Creme, and Finger Paints Brilliant Brushstroke!

Have a great day!
