ESSIE Gel Couture | All Dressed Up💅 |

 

Here we have a quick look at what's currently on my nails, it's the ESSIE Gel Couture "All Dressed Up" (1108), which is a creamy dusty rose kind of shade. 



It's described as a "spicy tea rose" color, I don't exactly know what that means but, sounds pretty cute. To me is one of those colors you can't go wrong with. It's pretty, clean and neutral.
You only need to apply two coats to get an even color, plus it has a shiny, gel type finish. 


Essie nail polishes have a great quality in general and last a little longer than other brands I've tried. They are defo worth it.
And well guys, that is that, I'm keeping it super short this time, hehe.

I'll see you next time~! ♡

Currently on my nails~ 💅


Quick nail polish update just because my nails are long and pretty right now and, I recently bought this lovely pink nail polish.

The brand is called MZY &, and it's my first time buying it. They have a big variety of colors and some glitters too.

It's a really pretty bubble gum pink that doesn't need to many coats to get an even color. Durability wise, it's pretty decent. Especially considering it was very affordable. 



Anyway, I'll keep this post super short, just wanted to show you what's currently on my nails. 💅

See you next time~! ♡

Current fav nail polish 💜


 Quick update on what's currently on my nails. This is a really pretty nail polish from Bissú called "Corazón Soñador" (533)

I receive this nails polish as part of my birthday pressies earlier this year. It is a very pretty pastel lilac shade that, to me, looks very 90s! It is fun and bright which makes it perfect for the Spring - Summer season. I'm obsessed.


It is kinda creamy (if that makes any sense) and it dries pretty quickly after applying, something I always appreciate.

Bissú nail polishes are always pretty decent durability wise. Of course, I have to retouch every couple of days (without applying a top coat) but, it's never too bad. 

I've been loving this color so much that, I even applied it on my toe nails, which are usually pink.

Now that I think about it, I've been wearing purple / lilac colors on my nails a lot lately. No matter the season.

Current Nail Polish~ 💜

Let's talk about what's currently on my nails for a bit cuz, I feel like these nail polish posts are becoming less and less frequent around here. I used to love blogging about my newest additions and stuff but, I just don't buy many anymore cuz, I have a lot!

I don't know if you guys remember the 24 Days of Christmas Pressies post, I showed you 2 new nail polishes I received and well, they are too cute not to show again!

I finally decided to try this one, I already wore the pink one twice but forgot to share around here. Maybe next time! This one is a lilac polish, the brand is called NHC Long Lasting and the color is #178. At first I thought the color would be very similar to the to the Lure Lavender Bloom or Chic Gray by CANMAKE  but this one is slightly darker and with a different finish. It actually dries a lot darker than what you see on the bottle, I still find it really nice and clean looking and it feels like a good transition color to go from Winter to Spring.

The smell is a little strong but it goes away as soon as it dries. Plus, it dries super fast! Thats is something I always appreciate, hehe.

Now, let's take a moment to appreciate how pretty the presentation is. Very simple, yet cute. The golden bow on the top makes it look super girly. It looks nice everywhere and could also make a cute decoration on a vanity.

Durability wise, I'd say it's like a regular nail polish, its lasts for a couple of days if you take care of it but, I don't mind retouching it every now and then.

And, that is that for what's on my nails. Hehe.

See you next time~! ♡

Metallic Champagne


I can't remember the last time I wore a metallic nail polish. I used to like them years ago, when L.A. Colors was my favorite nail polish brand~ It's been a while.

But my mom bought this Cosmetic Lab nail polish called "Champagne Metálico" (Metallic Champagne) and I liked how it looked on her so, I wanted to try it.

I feel like even tho it's a metallic shade, the color is kinda neutral and makes your hands look very clean with a fun twist.

These nail polishes and other products from this brand can be found at Walmart. They have a big variety of colors, they are pigmented and you don't need too many layers to get an even color. 

Durability wise, they last for about a week but they do chip when you do the dishes, lol. I've tried other non-metallic colors from this brand and I feel they last a little longer. It also takes too long to dry because the consistency is thick.

Do you like metallic nail polishes?

A Glimpse of Glamour


 Guess what?! We have another pink nail polish! (I'm sure it's no surprise anymore~ hehe). This time it's the "Glimpse of Glamour" (1106) from ESSIE.


It is a nude, soft pink that makes you nails and hands look very clean and pretty. I feel like you can't go wrong with these type of nude colors.

The durability is just great (without a top coat). Better than ohter nail polishes I've tried, even if I do the dishes! The only down side to this particular one, is that the color is super sheer so, you need to apply many, many coats to get an even color.

I don't usually talk about the presentation when it comes to nail polishes but I think this one is worth mentioning. It looks like a twisted glass bottle but, the brush is also twisted! I found that kinda cool. You know, the little details. Hehe.


This color is perfect when you want to have something cute on your hands without being too flashy. I also like the fact that I don't have to worry about them chipping for a while.

Not Turning Back From Pink Street

 Here comes another pink nail polish, it is the O.P.I "Not Turning Back From Pink Street" Nail Laquer, which is a bright, hot pink shade. 


As the other O.P.I Nail polish I shared before, it dries quickly with a shiny finish. The color is more pigmented tho, you only need 2 coats to get an even color. But, it also starts chipping after doing dishes and stuff (then again, without a top coat).

To me, it feels like a happy color and it's the kind of shade I like to wear on my toes.

Lavender Bloom

Spring is almost here so I thought this nail polish would be perfect! At least the name is... hehe.

Currently on my nails is the LURE Salon Formula Nail Color in "Lavender Bloom" (LNC722G). It is my first time trying products from LURE but I'm familiar with them because my mom has bought and tried their products before.

It is a lilac color described as a metallic polish with a "shiny" finish. You need to apply 2 or 3 coats to get the color you see in the bottle. It doesn't dry super fast but it doesn't take forever either and, it is super long lasting even when I've been washing dishes and stuff.


It kinda reminds me of the CANMAKE Tokyo Colorful Nails "Chic Gray" but in a lighter and sparkly version.

LURE has a large variety of nail polishes so, I defo will try more in the future.

I Think in Pink


Pink nails are perfect for February because of the whole Valie's Day thing. Well, they are always perfect for me but... you know what I mean. Hehe. And if there is a shade of pink I love is a bubblegum, Barbie pink.

Currently on my nails is the O.P.I "I Think in Pink" Nail Lacquer. It is a beautiful, bright pink with a shiny finish that applies easily and dries quickly. I really appreciate that! 


For this particular color, I had to apply 3 coats to get this color cuz it is a little sheer. Durability wise is good. It lasts for about one week (without a top coat) with some chipping after doing the dishes and stuff but, nothing too bad. 

It's my first time trying O.P.I nails polishes and I honestly think they are pretty good, especially if you are like me, and have no time to do constant touch ups.

Chic Gray


 On my nails right now is the CANMAKE Tokyo Colorful Nails in "Chic Gray" (N44) which is a beautiful gray color with a lilac undertone. I've been loving this color lately, it's perfect for this colder season. It looks super clean and somehow it makes my hands look really nice, haha. 

CANMAKE Tokyo is a Japanese brand that, from what I've read, has a girly, pop and shiny concept. Their products are absolutely girly and cute.

It is described as: "Long-lasting, quick-drying, with fantastic shine! Creates a finish that looks beautiful whenever you gaze at it. Also resistant to wearing off, so the glossy, wet look lasts and lasts for a long time."

As it says, the nail polish is super long lasting and it dries super fast. It has a very good quality. You do need to apply 3 layers to get the exact color from the bottle tho.

The presentation is simple yet cute. With a glass bottle and a silver lid. Looks a little pricess like. 👑


I've been wearing this color a lot, it's literally my fav atm.

Cherry-red nails



I can't remember the last time I wrote about nail polishes... they used to be my favorite posts years ago.
For some reason my nails love the quarantine, they have been looking great lately, they are long and surprisingly stronger than usual so I thought it'd be a good time for a nail polish post.

On my nails is the MINISO Beautiful Color Nail Polish Fashion Expert in "Cherry-red". It is not new in my collection, my friend Ceci gave it to me a year ago, I think.


It is a vibrant, dark, coral-ish color perfect for spring - summer time. And I do admit the durability of this one is pretty good. I don't have many nail polishes from Miniso so I can't really compare.


I really hope my nails stay this way for a long time, hehe. It's nice to have long, pretty natural nails for a change.

🍸 Colour Couture Party Paint Nail Polish Set 💅 + Unboxing



NOTE: Be ready for some picture spam!
Yes, I bought more nail polish but, can someone blame me? Just looking at the presentation makes you fall for it!
Not long ago (I think it was around December, when they sell all these cute gift packages to give away as Christmas gifts) I saw this nail polish bottle at Walmart and I actually thought it was pretty cool. I wanted to buy it but, I was spending so much money on Christmas gifts and reunions at that time, that I thought it'd be better to just wait. So I waited, and waited, and waited until last week when I noticed they still had some of them and they were for sale. For a super, duper cheap price. This time I knew I had to get it. It was now or never~!

Enough of my story, let's talk about the actual product.
It's the Colour Couture Party Paint. (I really know nothing about this brand, just fell for the whole concept). That comes with 10 different nail polishes.

First of all, let's take a moment to talk about the packaging. At first look, it looks like a nice, silver champagne bottle. Very fancy! And even tho it's a plastic bottle, the quality of it is pretty good. I'm definitely thinking about leaving it as it is to have it on display somewhere. Too pretty not to show.



Inside the bottle you find 10 bottles of nail polishes of 6ml each. Which I think it's pretty good for miniatures (IF they are miniatures).
4 pearl colors, 4 glitter polishes, 1 matte and a clear one. 
Some of them a very neutral colors, not very party like but it's fine with me, considering I'm not a party animal. LOL. The glitter ones are gorgeous!


As I was checking each of them, I realized that they colors don't have any name (and I really hate it when they don't have a name!) I thought they'd have fun party names but...they just don't. #OhWell

Here are all the different colors inside the bottle:









Still haven't used any of them cuz I'm currently wearing the polishes I got from my cousin's baby shower but I'll make separate posts about them once I use them.
I also have to confess I bought another one to give the polishes to my friends. Can't ignore such a good offer! But, I ruined that bottle~ #Boo

There's is also an unboxing video down below if you wanna see a little chit chat while opening this new baby. (I am so awkward on that video so, yeah. Sorry about that, I've been living in a rush lately but still wanted to try. First unboxing video.)

                                       

And, that is it for now. t took me forever to post this! See you guys soon! ♥
