Best of 2013: Nail Polish!!!

Christmas nail polish haul 2013!

New Years Nails!

Essie's "Hors D'oeuvres" over OPI's "Happy Anniversary!"


 

    Hey guys, sorry for the late post. I thought this would be up much sooner but I got sidetracked. Anywho, happy New Year everyone! Today I have my New Years mani to share with you.
     I used 1 coat of Essie's "Hor D'oeuvres" from their new Encrusted Treasures collection over two coats of OPI's "Happy Anniversary!" for this look. I'm really digging' it! So sparkly, girly, and appropriately festive!
     The OPI polish was very sheer, so with two coats I still had VNL. But with the Essie polish on top it really pulled the  look together, although sometimes I can still see through to my nail  line. The Essie polish also gave a hint of gold to the otherwise whitish-silver nail polish beneath it. Now in some lights my nails look silver and in others it looks gold! Hors D'oeuvres gives a really cool color changing effect.
     As for the formula, I mentioned that the OPI was very sheer but it was not watery or runny, so that's a plus! ☺ And the Essie polish was not too thick as some people have said. I found it fairly easy to work with, and for this outcome/effect on my nails, I would use it even if the formula were awful!

     Overall I loved my manicure and I would recommend both of the polishes mentioned to anyone who loves sparkly and shiny nails!
