Essie Jamaica Me Crazy Polish

I love nail polish - despite being absolutely terrible at it. And I thought I would invest in an Essie nail polish, I found the colour Jamaica Me Crazy and fell in love with it immediately. I don't have a colour like it in my collection and hadn't seen one like it before.

"Jamaica Me Crazy" is a beautiful dark pink, almost purple, colour with a little bit of shimmer running through it. Or at least that's how I see it. The colour is VERY pigmented, I think you could maybe go with just one coat on your nails. If you want an even brighter more beautiful colour then two coats  is right for you.
Apologies for the terrible quality, my camera was not being co-operative. 
This is such a pretty polish that you could pull off any time of day. This will be so pretty in Autumn and Winter, getting excited for the colder weather already. 

Do you have any Essie nail polishes, if so what's your favourite?

Nails of the day

I'm not one for ever doing anything fancy with my nails. It doesn't even need to be fancy, usually all I do is paint my nails with one colour. I thought since, for once, I've kept this on my nails for a fair while that I would share the results with you all. 
Apologies for the awful picture, but this was the best one I managed to take. 
I wasn't overly adventurous with my nails but I think it still looks pretty nice. Since I've gained a little bit of a tan I thought I would go for a colour I wouldn't normally - white - since it would look ridiculous on my normally pale skin. 
I jazzed it up with a glitter polish on my ring finger, since I figured all white would be too much.  Especially for a pale gal like me. 


nail strengthener. OPI nail envy

I used a couple of coats of China Glaze White On White and for my ring fingers a few coats of Topshop's Razzmatazz (I used a few coats to get a really thick glitter). And of course before applying any polish I put a coat of OPI Nail Envy, I honestly love this to pieces this has changed my once brittle nails to being super strong. 
There will maybe be a few more NOTD posts over the next few weeks, since I am trying so hard not to neglect my precious polishes.
