Essie Find Me An Oasis

I am loving the new Essie 2104 Resort Collection nail polishes! (The make me want summer to come right now). There are four new shades in this collection and I especially love this shade, Find Me An Oasis, which is a super pale creamy blue shade. It did apply a little streaky but after 2-3 coats you get a nice solid wash of light blue that is beautiful. I have a similiar slighty darker shade of light blue from OPI but this one definitely beats it out because this looks even more chic and sophisticated.


The other three colors in the collection are Cocktails & Coconuts (the pale sandy shade), Under the Twilight (the dark navy shade) and Resort Fling (the cute coral shade). Overall its a nice range of pastel colors with a pop of dark blue. I think the light blue is the stand out of the collection for me and I will be wearing this on my fingers and toes this summer!

Essie Sugar Daddy

Essie Sugar Daddy is described as a sweet and shimmery pink, perfect for a french manicure. It's a subtle subtle sheer wash of pink that looks really great if you want a very minimal nail look. I usually have to put 3 coats of this  but sometimes I'm just in the mood for some clear glossy nails. If you don't like your nails showing through this polish isn't for you, but if you want some polished natural looking nails, I highly recommend Sugar Daddy! It's the perfect your nails but better nail polish.

Have a great weekend!

New Makeup Bits

Just wanted to mention a few new products I have picked up recently that I have been excited about. This is somewhat of a mini haul post I guess!

1. Maybelline Babylips in Cherry Me
This is my fourth Babylips purchase. No question I love these balms! This shade especially has become my favorite because it's super moisturizing and gives your lips a this beautiful sheer red popsicle stain apperance.

2. Loreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions - Waterproof in Blackest Black
Besides Anna from ViviannaDoesMakeup always raving about this, I thought the wand looked very similiar to YSL baby doll mascara and I love that YSL mascara. I don't think this is the original Loreal Telescopic (there seem to be many different versions) and this is the Shocking Extensions version. I am eager to try this once my Revlon Lash Potion dries out. I think these wands are my preferred mascara wand choice.

3. Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum
I was so excited about this deluxe sample because I have heard great things about this lifting dark spots. I will report back but this should help also prevent freckles, pigmentation and dark spots.

4. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Esprit
I am so obsessed with everything about this lipstick. This is my first Rouge Coco Shine lipstick but I have a feeling I'm going to be picking up many more in the future. I picked a color from the new collection. I love my berry lipsticks so I'm so happy to be carrying this around.

5. Essie nail polish in A Crewed Interest
If you google image this I think you'll know why I picked this up. It's beautiful! It looks great with a tan and I currently have it on my toes! Great summer nail polish.

What have you guys been shopping for lately?

Essie Smokin' Hot

The other night I was at the US Open and it got really chilly! I still cannot believe it's already September and basically Fall. I love the transition from summer to fall because the nail polishes, lip colors and clothes get darker and I love layering clothes so I'm very excited for the transition to Fall.

A nail polish I know I will be wearing this fall is Essie Smokin' Hot. It's a deep eggplant purpley color that looks very elegant and chic on the nails. I use two coats and seche vite top coat. What color are you excited to wear?

And here were our seats at the US Open! Serena Williams playing on the right!

nailed it

I normally wear reds, pinks and nudes but this summer I am loving all shades of blue on my nails! Currently I am wearing Essie In the cab-ana. It's a hot blue with a hint of teal and looks really beautiful against my tanner skin tone. It's perfect for the summer. I can't wait to wear it to the beach!
