Comfy In Cashmere!

I did the review of Essie Cashmere Matte collection a while ago here. This is a look I created using Comfy In Cashmere!

I almost passed on this color because it didn't look that special in a bottle... But my beloved wise daughter said, "YOLO!" So, I bought it as well as the other 3 colors from this collection, Coat Couture, Spun In Luxe, and Just Stiched. I'm glad I got it. Once I put it on my nails, wow, I just love the gentle smoky mauve color! It has blue shimmer that is quite noticeable and matte finish is gorgeous!

For this look, I first paired my nails with Essie Comfy In Cashmere (2 coats over base coat). I stampted a floral design from Bundle Monster plate BM-715 with Konad white stamping polish. I left it without top coat for the matte look. 

I don't know if you can see the true color from pictures. It is not brown. It's more purplish in real life. 

Do you see the blue shimmer? LOVELY!!

Have you tried this color yet? Do you like matte finish?

Pink and Black... Again

Ok. I just did pink and black, I know... But I wasn't quite ready to part ways with this lovely pale pink.

This time I made them matte! 

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Romper Room (pale pink) and OPI 4 in the Morning (matte satin black). I stamped the design from Messy Mansion Lead Light Lacquer plate A03 with Konad Black Pearl stamping polish. I top coated with HK Girl and after that applied NYC matte top coat. 

I quite like this matte look! I don't usually mattify my nails but I guess I'm in the mood for the matte look. 

Do you mattify your nails often? Which pink and black look do you like?

Pink and Inked!

I used to be a pink person. I had a lot of clothes, accessories, etc. that were various shades of pink. Now, though, I came out of pink phase and hardly wear pink clothing... Age, perhaps?! 

I have a few pink polish but I wear them rarely. A lot of times, I feel they look too sweet to me. Like too much sugar icing feeling... So, I had to add a touch of salt (edgy look) to make it less sugary. 

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Romper Room (pale pink). I stamped one of floral design from Messy Mansion Lead Light Lacquer plate A03 with Konad Black Pearl stamping polish. 

I just used this same design a few weeks ago and I don't usually like to repeat the same pattern too often. But I wanted a design with very fine lines and I felt this design would work the best. 

And I like the effect of sweet and edgy look. This, I can wear!

And this pale pink somewhat grew on me. I had this polish in Essie Spring collection mini set from last year. And being pink, I thought I might not use it at all. You never know... I might use it often from now on!

Are you a pink person? How often do you wear pink polish?

Love,

Happy Easter!

It's Easter time! I did my nails quickly while my turkey is in the oven.

I bought this Bundle Monster plate BM-302 just for the bunny out of an egg design! I think it's soooo cute!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Cocktail Bling (blue grey) and Essie Just Stitched (pale pink). I stamped the bunny design, using BM-302 and Konad white stamping polish. I added a few silver gold dots in the center of flowers with Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low, using a dotting tool. I also used BM-710, BM-714, and BM-724 for various designs on other nails. 

My right hand with slightly different designs. 

I'm not sure if I like the overall look but this will do for our busy Easter weekend. 

Have a lovely weekend!!

Love,

Little Dot and Easter Bunny
