NOTD - Essie Glamour Purse

12:16 PM

October 10, 2011


Happy Turkey Day Canadians! Long time no nail post! I bought a couple of polishes from Essie's Fall 2011 collection and I gotta say though I was a bit underwhelmed by the collection in general, I did like this particular shade.

Glamour Purse is a medium dark taupe shade. I like that it leans more gray and less brown as I do always have such a hard time with browner shades. It looks pretty chic and is very flattering on my skintone. The application was easy breezey; I did two coats as always but could have got away with just one:

China Glaze Ingrid

9:47 AM

Yey, I got an extra hour of sleep today due to time change! It's funny how little things like that can make me feel happy. This was my NOTD from last week that I forgot to post. China Glaze Ingrid was released with their fall collection (Retro Diva) and as usual it took me months to get around to wearing it. Ingrid is a gorgeous taupey shade with tiny gold reflects that are only visible when you look closely. I really like this shade though and the formula is great. China Glaze tends to be hit and miss for me but I definitely didn't have any application issues with this one.

Here's a two coat swatch for you guys!

Holiday Glow

Following the same festive trend, I'm wearing another OPI Holiday 09 nailpolish, Holiday Glow. Holiday Glow is a taupe/brown base with silver and gold glitters. It's a very difficult colour to describe and I'm not sure if I'm describing it accurately. You pretty much have to see its gorgeousness in person. I'm actually quite pleased with OPI's holiday collection. They did do a lot of red as usual but they also introduced some amazing colours like Holiday Glow and Merry Midnight.

This is 2 medium coats of the nail polish. You definitely need at least two coats. It applied evenly and dried super quick.

You Don't Know Jacques Suede

Nail of the day is You Don't Know Jacques, the Suede version recently released by OPI. I have the original version and honestly the suede version looks nothing like it. I wonder why they just didn't give it another name :/ I do love the suede version though, I even like it better with a shiny top coat. So I wore mine with a layer on Seche Vite on top. As usual, no application issue with OPI.

Here it is on my nail. Please excuse the tear you see on one of the nails :(
