Essie Rocky candy french konadicure - quicky

 Good morning:)

A quick post today. There are 3 coats of Essie Rock candy which is a part of Essie holiday collection swatched and reviewed HERE. I think it really looks great for french manicure, 2 coats of it would be just fine too. For the tips I used Konad special nail polish in white and fauxnad P32. No top coat. All pics were taken in lightbox with flash.

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished start the week:*

Essie ''Sweet Time of the Year'', review and swatches

Recently I got a package from the Slovenian web shop Čarodejka Essie's distributor in Slovenia, however they sell Essie polishes also internationally and the owner promised to translate their site into English very soon. The prices are reasonable, especially for Europe, Essie polish costs 9€ (around 7,90 British pound).

Now for the swatches:) I must warn you, this post is going to be picture heavy, prepare;)

The package included the mini versions of Rock Candy, Mint Candy Apple, Lollipop and 3-way glaze which functions as base coat, strenghtener and top coat. I used the latter as my base coat during swatching, it gives a splendid shine to nails, though it does not dry as quickly as Nailtek f.2. I had no application problems at all, all 3 applied gorgeously. Thy also have a great shine on their own, as there is not top coat used in pictures. Pictures taken in the lightbox are the most colour accurate.

Mint Candy Apple, Lollipop, Rock Candy, 3-way glaze

Rock Candy

A sheer pale pink jelly. I applied 3 coats, but as you can see in the pictures it is still not opaque, I think it will look great for french manicures and already have one in my mind:)

On to the pics:

The first was taken with flash, no artificial light

The second was taken in the lightbox with flash

As well as the third, but there's no flash

Mint Candy Apple

Gorgeous pastel minty green, perhaps I could go away with only one a bit thicker coat, but I applied two rather thin ones. Smooth application indeed.


Flash/no artificial light (not colour accurate)

Lollipop

I'm in love with reds:) This one applied like a dream, 2 coats needed, although I could do another one, as there was a bit of visible smile line, but I like it this way. If you have shorter nails, 2 would do just fine. This one is a gorgeous bright red jelly colour.

What do you think of the colours? Which one do you own?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, and of course a big thanks to Čarodejka that enabled this review. Have a great and polished weekend*

LCN 264 KOTD - grey&silver quicky

A quicky today:)

For this konadicure I used one of my new konad image plates from my last haul, namely the m73 and for the silver stamping China glaze Millenium (best stamping silver ever IMO:P ). Not top coat in the pics. First and last pic were taken in the lightbox and artificial light, the second with flash.

Do you like this image and colour combination?

LCN 264 swatch and NOTD

This is my very first LCN nail polish, the number is 264 (no particular name). It's a one coater over Nailtek f.2, the drying time is pretty long, but as I've heard this is normal for LCN polishes. The colour is shimmery silver grey with a hint of dusty purple, I think the pictures capture it well. I also used 1 coat of Essie g2g top coat.

What do you think of the colour? Do you own any LCN nail polishes? How are you satisfied with the quality? Do you have the same problems with drying time?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

Essence All Access- green&silver konadicure

I just could not leave yesterday's manicure without a konad over it:P I chose Konad image plate m65 and China glaze Millenium, which is my favourite silver polish for making my konadicures. There not topcoat over it. First pic was taken with flash, no artificial lamp. The second and third were taken in my lightbox, with flash and artificial light.

What do you think of the konadicure? Does it suit the polish?

Thank you, dear readers and commenters, have a nice and polished day:*

Green goodness-Essence All Access swatch

Hey,

how you're doing? I have got a gorgeous green for you today, which you've probably seen already, but never mind, here's my version of it;) It's a one coater, applied over Nailtek f.2, and the swatch is made without the top coat. All pictures were taken inside my lightbox with artificial lamp and flash. The application was great and smooth.

What do you think of the colour? Own anything like it?
