Essence What Do U Think? and Glamorous Life

Today I have two swatches of old and new Essence Colour and Go polishes from Ulta.

First up is What Do U Think?

So, what do you think?  I think it's precious and dainty.  It's a peach creme with a slight shimmer to it.  I had a tiny issue with the formula being a little thick, but I don't have much left in the bottle and it's old to me.  I'll just go get one more for 99¢.  I'll never get over how affordable they are.

Next up is Glamorous Life.

I just love this color.  It's a glass flecked berry red that glows beautifully.  The glass flecks almost look pink.  I love everything about it.

I have yet to be disappointed with any of the Colour and Go polishes.  Which ones do you suggest I pick up next?

Sally Hansen Snappy Sprinkles

Just a quick post today of yesterday's mani with glitter.  So let me tell you a little anecdote.


I went to Ulta some time last year, around my birthday I think.  There was this beautiful bar glitter from Sally Hansen calling my name.  It was the last one.  However, I had already picked up at least 5 other polishes and some other cosmetics, and I had to narrow them down because, let's face it, I didn't need them all, and I sure couldn't afford them all.  I don't remember what I decided on, but I know that I put Snappy Sprinkles back and then regretted it as soon as I got home.


I've been to Ulta many times since then and had completely forgot about the glitter until yesterday.  There were so many polishes on clearance, so of course I had to check them out.  And as I was rifling through them all, there was that beautiful bar glitter from Sally Hansen calling my name again, but this time, half the price.  She is now sitting in my polish collection and is layered on my China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy.

Snappy Sprinkles is peach and mint bar glitter in a clear base.  The mint is just "sprinkled" in.  LOL.  Then to make it even more amazing, I added Essie Matte About You.

I'm not sure FFF is the best polish to convey the colors in the glitter, but I'm going to keep playing with it.

Zoya Minka with Konad Stamp

Hey Guys!


So today is just a quick post.  I told you yesterday that I had an idea for a really cute mani with Zoya Minka, and it came out way better than I expected.  I stamped Minka with Konad plate m13 using Zoya Lolly for the pink rose and Jesse's Girl All Things Girly from the Julie G collection for the peach rose.  Then I just added a few random clear rhinestones.  Check it out!

Woo!  I love it.  I got the idea Rebecca Likes Nails (HERE) so I really hope it compares.

OPI Peach-a-Boo

Helloooo All!


I have been waiting for a sunny day to share this one with you.  OPI Peach-a-Boo is from the Summer 2008 Retro Fun in the Sun collection and is sadly now discontinued.  I'm really glad I was able to get my grubby hands on a bottle though.  And it has the Pro-Wide brush that makes the application super quick and easy.

It's a gorgeous, shimmery peach color with little pink sparkles.  It is a thin formula so this is 4 coats.  I think it would be a great layer rather than by its self.  Also the VNL is exposed, but that doesn't really bother me.


I would really LOVE to find the rest of this collection.  Especially Sit Under the Apple Tree and Lemonade Stand By Your Man.  Who hears Christmas bells?
