Essence Colour & Go Gorgeous Bling Bling

Today I have a lovely polish to show you all! This is Gorgeous Bling Bling from the {new} Essence Colour & Go line. This is not normally I color I would gravitate to but when I saw it on the Essence display at Ulta this weekend, I knew I had to have it! Gorgeous Bling Bling is a spicy, pumkpin-y orange color with tons of gorgeous gold flecks! I used two coats for this mani, it was easy to apply even though I am not a fan of the brush on this one, it's like the "pro-wide" type brushes on Nicole by OPI and the Sally Hansen Complete line. I find this brush hard to control and I usually end up with more polish on the sides of my nails than I usually do! The difficult brush was well worth it though, this polish is a real stunner and oh so perfect for the Fall/Autumn season! This one was so pretty, I snagged 2 bottles! What do you think? Are you loving the gorgeous gold flecks/flakies in this one as much as I do? Enjoy! XOXO~Rach

Pretty & Polished Phat Camp

Wow! I have been away from my blog for over a month! Sorry for the hiatus, my kids are out of school for Summer Vacation and I am just spending as much time with them as I can until they have to go back :) Today I have the lovely Phat Camp from Pretty & Polished to show you. A lovely friend of mine in my nail polish swap group bought me OPI Purple With A Purpose for my birthday last month. I wore PPWAP for two whole days and did not want to take it off so I decided to to a little glitter gradient with the Phat Camp that I just got! As you can see, these two are pretty much a match made in polish heaven! What do you think if this combo? Do you love it as much as I do? Enjoy! XOXOXO~Rach






I had to throw in a shot of Purple With  Purpose on it's own. It's so gorgeous!

Essie Bikini So Teeny {and my shorties}

A quick post to show off my new shorties :( I had to cut them down after too many breaks. I swore I would not show them until they grew a bit but I HAD to show you this gorgeous polish combo I am wearing! I bought Essie Bikini So Teeny at Target the other day, I had been waiting for this gorgeous color to hit the shelves ever since I saw it on their FB page a few months ago. The color is so amazing but I was a little disappointed that the shimmer in the bottle did not show up too well on the nail. So I pulled out my trusty China Glaze Snow Cap and used that as a top coat and WOW! what a gorgeous combo! I could not stop staring at my nails for the two days I was wearing it! I know most people recommend dark colors on shorter nails, but I have to say that I was loving this lighter color on my shorties! Enjoy! XOXOXO~Rach

Sinful Colors Mint Apple w/ Frenzy On Top!

My best friend came up with this combo a couple of years ago, I always get tons of compliments on it when I wear it. This is Sinful Colors Mint Apple with Sinful Colors Frenzy on top. Mint Apple is a shimmery mint green and Frenzy is a purple and teal glitter and I think this is a match made in polish heaven! I also have to say that the wear time with the Sinful Colors is pretty darn amazing for a $2 bottle of polish! 3 days and not even any tip wear! What are some of your favorite funky combos? Enjoy! XOXOXO~Rach

Candeo Colors Divebomb!

I picked up a few Candeo Colors during one of her openings recently, and this one is Divebomb. Divebomb is a multi-colored glitter best used as a top coat on another polish. I chose to use it over my OPI I Have A Herring Problem {Holland Collection} mani that I had put on the day before. I love the way this mani turned out! The blue base with the gorgeous aqua, blue and bronze glitter really sings on my nails! What do you guys think? Do you love Divebomb? Do you have any Candeo Colors? Do you plan to own some? Enjoy! XOXO~Rach
