Picture Purge

I have had this growing collection of pictures that I haven't either had time to post, or forgotten about. So, I thought I will "purge" them so I can start fresh. Sound good? I will let you know the polish brand and name. If I remember anything else, I will add that info under the picture. TTFN!

Color Club Snow Flakes over Color Club Glitter Wonderland
Color Club Snow Flakes over Color Club Berry and Bright
Candeo Colors Mallard over Zoya Megan
I absolutely LOVED this manicure!
Essence Choose Me
Sinful Colors Cinderella
Pretty color, but kinda sheer.
Nail Pattern Boldness Boop-Oop-A-Dupe over black.
This flashes red, orange, and green. Very Pretty!
(Ignore the tip wear)
Layla HE-07 Ocean Rush.
I love holographic polishes. Drool!
Nfu Oh 65 Holographic pale blue.
A very nice holo! 
Up Colors Disco Azul. 

If you have any questions about the colors, don't hesitate to post a question below!

Essence Breaking Dawn Part 2: Jacobs Protection and Alice Had A Vision - Again

I have two lovelies from Essence's Breaking Dawn Part 2 Collection; Jacobs Protection and Alice Had A Vision - Again. There are two others in the collection, but I just didn't care for them. These two jem's called to me and my inner dorkiness. Yes, I will admit it. I like Twilight books. I know, it is a bit cheesy, but the books were great, and show an emotional depth that, up until that point, youth books didn't touch. (Besides the amazing Harry Potter.) The movies are kind of a bust, but the story is still a good one.

Jacobs Protection
 Jacobs Protection is a stunning dark blue glitter with hints of green and sometimes purple and gold in a blackened jelly base. This color went on in two, easy to apply, coats. No top coat was used in these photos. This color was beautiful! I definitely see myself wearing this over and over again in the future.
  
Alice Had A Vision - Again

Alice Had A Vision - Again is a beautiful purple glitter with some hints of blue, green, and gold. This is also a great vampy color to add to your "dark" collection. This went on in two even coats, with no top coat. 

Well, I know don't know which is my favorite. Is it the first or, or perhaps the second? Eeekk! Thankfully, I own both. Mwahahahaha! Well, these two polishes were a steal at 1.99 at Ulta. You can't beat that price with these colors!

My one complaint was the brush. These are on the wider side like the Wet N Wild Megalast Pro Brush. If you have narrow nail beds, you might find these brushes a bit too wide to maneuver. Other than that, perfect.
