MD looks so pretty on you PDF!!!! Congrats to the grandparents---that's really special!!!
Yesterday was my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and the day before I got my first Deborah Lippmann polish to wear to the party. I already had this beautiful dusty blue strapless dress for the party and when I went to check out the Deborah Lippmann polishes I got Mermaid's Dream, because I thought it would go well with the dress. I also got 3 polishes from Essie's summer collection: Sunday Funday, The More the Merrier and Naughty Nautical. Today I also placed an order for some China Glaze polishes. My Out the Door topcoat is running low and I wanted to get a big refill bottle, but shipping would be €5. I wanted to order some more to make the shipping worth it and got Fancy Pants, Keep Calm Paint On, Towel Boy Toy, Flip Flop Fantasy, Highlight of my Summer, Shell-O and Too Yacht to Handle.
Here's a picture with my Mermaid's Dream mani.

Great combo! Love to see swatches of Sea Jewel. They were not that many when I got it. Need to wear these two soon, too.

Thanks! I didn't post a makeup picture. I was wearing Naked pigment on the lid and Naked Dark in the crease, yes I had to get these too after the raves they got. I like them a lot and I'll get Naked Deep Dark too at some point. On my cheeks I wore Nars Gaiety (my first Nars blush!) and on the lips Deeply Adored with Brick lipliner. I got Brick last week and this was the first time trying it with Deeply Adored. I normally used Beet, but I think I prefer Brick.
The look sounds really pretty PDF. I've been super lazy lately, just using the naked pigments, both Dark & Deep Dark to create neutral looks. I also got the Deep Brown pigment for dark brown smokey eye looks.

You know how to make a girl drool Naynadine!

Our internet has been out so I've been MIA. Here are some of my recent mani's

Wuyi Mountain - I didn't like this one at all on me :(



Another failure.. I used sweet dreams over a zoya color (forgot the name) Maybe I should try it without a base color next time. Looks ok in the picture but it made my hands feel darker.



I don't normally like these shades of pink but I actually liked this one. I know I'm boring I love creme colors.

I like how your pedi matches the pool!!!!
Okay, here are a couple of pictures (hopefully will upload) I took yesterday by the pool. Today we went to the sea and I forgot to take the camera with us, but the beach is only a few minutes away, so we'll be surely going back there soon. This is my Essie Beach Bum Blu pedi, it's held up really well so far despite the pool water, sea and sand. My feet are in a right state though.... Also my finger nails aren't doing too well, I had to cut my left thumb nail right down because it started breaking quite deep on the side and kept catching on everything. I managed to get it to grow down a bit before trimming it (the break was quite deep into the live bit), but I had to finally cut it last night. Also my right middle finger is very short, it broke this afternoon. Oh well.

Love the glow! I have not worn this one yet, it actually looks a bit like FF Mana Ruby.


Ok, (hope this shows up) I needed something colourful after pitterpattering: FF Lime Thief.

Ok, looks like I still have problems with pics. But a separate post and a post from my phone worked.

This is a lovely coral and mani! I did not know the two Essies' formulas or brushes would be different

. All my Essies are of the salon version and I don't think we have testers in shops here so I can't check this out.


Thank you, Med!


Yes, you seem to be ready for fall with those glitters!


Thanks, Kimibos!

It's indeed a lovely coral! I'm going to try out some of the other drugstore Essies soon. I'm thinking that it might just be this particular colour that's thicker or it was mostly due to the wider brush. I'm used to a wider brush with OPI, but I'm not used to Essie having those and maybe I apply Essie polishes different without knowing. Ow and I got two more Essie polishes today, Bouncer It's Me and Shake Your $$$ Makers. My China Glaze package arrived today as well, so 9 new polishes in one day haha which should I try first...I guess it'll be Bouncer It's Me, because I love those royal blue colours. I want a polish in the colour of the dress our queen was wearing for the coronation (actually I would love a dress in that colour too!).

I bought some discontinued polishes last night. Picture Polish Tease, Sparkle, Hypnotic; Lippmann Purple Rain and Stardust.

I've also been really into sparkling polishes lately thanks to the Dior Sparkling Set and Picture Polish Sea Jewel. I think Sea Jewel falls under Picture Polish's Mesh finish, which basically seems to be silver microglitter. I think I'm going to start getting more of their Mesh shades next. Tease falls under that category.

Speaking of sparkly polishes, have you all seen the new fall Lippmanns? I'm getting them!
