Hey guys! How has your weekend been? Mine was great! I went and visited some family in Wisconsin! I had a blast.

Today I have swatches of Essie's Butler Please. All I can say is thank you Kohl's! They send out a $10 gift every month or so and I always use it to get some Essie! I really love this color. This polish is from Essie's 2012 Winter Collection! It is a really pretty purplish blue that dries matte. I was kind of surprised when I saw that it was heading to the matte direction, but it was a good surprise. Here are the swatches:

Thanks for reading! Have a great day.

Hey, I'm back! Sorry for such a long wait. It has been 4 days since I posted anything! I have had a ton of school work stuff to do. I have been taking a ton of pictures for the swatches page. I still have to update it though. I'm thinking about starting up a nail art challenge! I haven't been doing much nail art lately, so what better way then a challenge, right?

I went and got two Essie polishes today at Kohls. Together they were only $6.44! I had a 10 dollar off card that I got in the mail. Every time I get one, I always go for the Essie Polishes. This time I got A Cut Above and Stroke Of Brilliance. They are both glitters and they are both a lot alike! They both have some bigger and smaller hexagonal glitters.

A Cut Above:

A Cut Above is a clear top coat with some pink hexagons both big and small. I picked this one up because I truly have nothing like it. It is really pretty. The formula is great and there is tons of glitter too. This is 2 coats over NYC's Fuchsia Shock Creme!

Nail Polish Info:
Brand: Essie
Name: A Cut Above
Finish: Glitter
Collection: Luxeffects
Price: $8.00

Stroke of Brilliance:

Stroke Of Brilliance is a clear top coat with blue hexagonal glitters, ranging form big to small. So like I said earlier, Stroke of Brilliance is exactly like A Cut Above, except for color. That is literally the only difference I see. The formula is great and there is lots of glitter. This is 2 coats of Wet n Wild's I Need A Refresh-Mint.

Hey girls! Today has been a really boring day. I did school, read, and watched movies. I know, aren't you jealous of my life? I also had to cut my nails way down.

This polish is the other polish I got from the thrift shop. It is a really pretty glitter with different shades of blue and purple in it. In these pictures I layered it over Wet n Wild's Through The Grapevine.
