Pink Glitter Tips

April 19th, 2012 · Beauty

I’ve been into nail art a LOT lately. Trying new color combos, putting glitter everywhere, and polka dots galore.

I must say, I’ve always loved a good glitter tip. Previously, I stuck to simple finely milled silver.

But why not pink? And why not chunky?

 

 

I used two coats of Essie Kisses & Bises for the base color, a sheer pearl with cranberry duochrome. A classic barely-there-but-with-something-extra polish. For the glitter tip, I globbed on a messy bit of Essie A Cut Above, a beautiful multidimensional pink glitter. If you are more into silver, I highly suggest Essie Set in Stones, which is equally stunning. Last week I paired that with OPI Yoga To Get This Blue, and it was amazing. These Essie Luxeffects polishes work really well for glitter tips. I promise, you need not possess any special skills to accomplish.

 

 

I topped it all off with my new favorite topcoat, Orly Won’t Chip. Pictures were taken on day four or five of this mani, for reference. It doesn’t. Chip.

Would you wear this nail look?

xoxo, Emma

The Unboxing of my Teen Vogue Birchbox!

March 11th, 2012 · Beauty

Birchbox Day is always a a good day in my book. This month, my excitement was kicked up a few notches as I knew that the collab with Teen Vogue would not disappoint. I knew Ms. Eva Chen would not let me down. Hints were dropped about Essie, and that the box would be appreciated by anyone “young at heart” (I suppose I fall into that category, as I’m certainly beyond my teenage years…!)

Yes, definitely young at heart. Glitter is still one of my favorite things.

Back to the box. It was amazing– full size Essie, full size Tarte! I uploaded an unboxing video on my YouTube channel, so do subscribe and check it out.

 

 

And now for pictures. Enjoy!

Kate Spade Twirl. A sparkling spring perfume… my second sample vial (first came in a previous Birchbox), which I appreciate having as I’d LOVE to own the full size. Someday soon.

Kérastase Elixir Ultime. A multipurpose hair oil. I love hair oils. Can’t wait to try this one.

Essie luxeffects topcoat in Set in Stones. STUNNING silver glitter. Happy to add this beauty to my polish collection.
