Essence Colour and Go Polishes + Nail Art

Hi ladies!

Today's post is a doozy, but hopefully in a good way! I have a few Essence Colour and Go polishes to show you with nail art. Let's get started!

This is Walk of Fame, a griege/taupe shade. This is 2 coats without topcoat, so it's pretty shiny on it's own.

For nail art, this is one of our stamping plates (XL plate I) stamped with Konad Black polish. I love how complicated this design looks, even though it's not that hard to get!

The next shade is Can't Cheat on Me. This is a slightly holographic silver. Here is 2 coats.

Faubuless is a black with silver shimmer flecks in it. This is 2 coats.

This nail art combines the last 2 polishes to create a design I LOVE! All my fingers but the ring are stamped in OMG. The ring is stamped with Konad Black. The stripes come from XL plate I and the abstract squares from XL plate A.

Here it is in sunlight.

And it truly comes to life with the camera flash! <3

The next color is Date with the Night, silvery brown shimmer. This is 2 coats also.

I love this design too...cute peacock feathers. The colors were simply dotted in with a dotting tool. The design comes from XL plate J.

And finally, this is Where is the Party? This is a purple/green duochrome. The next few pictures try to capture that.

And for the final nail art look, this is XXL plate #2.

I have seen these polishes at Ulta, and you can find more info about the stamping plates in my Shop tab.

So that's it! Which color and design are your favorite?

*Polish was sent to me for review in exchange for my honest opinions.

China Glaze in Awe of Amber + Nail Art

Hi again! :)

I am back with my nail post for the day. The base for this mani is China Glaze In Awe of Amber that I got on clearance at Sally's (I am in there so much the girls know who I am. haha). I probably only picked it up since I share part of it's name, because the color isn't one I usually go for. This is 3 coats.

This nail art is a bit out of my comfort zone, but you have try everything once right?! Actually, I let Dustin do all the brainstorming on this mani. Sometimes his creative side is just dying to be unleashed, and this is what he ended up with.

It looks cool right? The flames were stamped on using a design from plate I (check out the shop tab for more info) and then the details were freehanded using the Born Pretty dual nail art pens I reviewed recently.

Have you guys tried anything outside your comfort zone lately?
