NOTD: Polka Dot Bomb

I'm on a roll with these nail posts, aren't I?  I have three whole days off from work this week.  Three days in a row!  That means I have to put nail polish on.  That small mountain I have acquired over the past two years isn't just going to use itself up, after all.

I tried my hand at nail art.  I opted for a simple polka dot pattern at first but I love glitz and glamour so I threw bling in.

I grabbed Essie's Coat Azure as my main base color and Zoya's Christinna as my accent nail color.  I didn't particularly like how Christinna turned out as it was super duper sheer and not as bright as I wanted.  I used Essie's Blanc instead to dot over Coat Azure since it was a more solid white and thus made a sharper contrast against the blue.  Just for fun, I dotted Zara and Tangy over the white dots.  Both are sheer, duo chrome colors, and are also by Zoya.  They acted more as accents so even though there are a lot of details on my nails, they're not necessarily over powering each other.

I get to keep my nail polish for 3 days. Woohoo!!!!!

Anybody do anything fun with their nails lately? Please share =D

FOTD: Coat Azure

This is Coat Azure, one of the Essie polishes that I picked up at CVS last week.  This is my first experience with Essie polishes and it certainly does not disappoint.  Love how opaque and true the formula is.  It started chipping at around the third day, but I don't use a base or top coat.  So far, this brand seems to be the most resilient to chipping (out of the ones that I have tried).  If you don't know already, Essie is now being sold at Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS for $8 a pop.  Walmart exploits people so I encourage you pick your poison at either Walgreens or CVS.

Have a great day!
