Nails Of The Day (NOTD): Party Princess ✨

Image
Hello everyone! Today's post is a  nails of the day .    I haven’t posted one of these in ages!   You can view previous  NOTD  posts  here .  This is what I'm currently wearing...  This pretty nail polish colour is called Party Princess (07) by Essence .   I did not know it is this sheer until I applied the first coat.  The first coat coloured my nail a sheer pink with some glitter.  I thought it looked super cute… for little girls, that is!   I applied a second coat of nail polish, and this time it looked much better.   This nail polish is pink with glitter, very girly and pretty.   I don’t hate it but I think it’s perfect for little girls that want to feel like a “Princess”!  What do you think?    Even though I'm a grown woman, I'm still going to keep using this nail polish and enjoy my sparkly manicures.  ✨ Do you wear glitter nail polish?  Leave a comment below and let me know!

FOTD: Do you wear makeup under your face masks?

Image
Hello everyone! Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic situation, I haven't been wearing makeup; in fact, the last time I can remember putting on makeup was months ago!  I was never the type of person to wear makeup every day but since I've been staying home most of the time and I'm not attending any social events, I found myself missing wearing makeup and feeling more put together.  Whenever I need to go out I'm wearing a face mask and sunglasses or a face shield (aka visor) anyway.  Dermatologists advise that we skip wearing makeup under our face masks.   Beneath a mask, makeup is more likely to clog pores and lead to breakouts.  If makeup is necessary, use only products labelled “non-comedogenic” or “oil-free”.  I have acne-prone skin so for me that means  face mask  + makeup = breakouts - No thanks! So yesterday I decided to put on some makeup and take some photos for upcoming blog posts.  If you look closely you can spot this makeup in my previous post an

Nails Of The Day (NOTD): Essence "the gel nail polish" - #lucky

Image
Hello everyone! Long wearing nail polishes are a huge trend right now, may that be gel polishes with or   without the use of LED or UV lamps .  And that's precisely what   Essence   brought on the market.  I am a little obsessed with new   Essence "the gel nail polish"  trio lately.  I own 3 shades already, and out of my three this one is definitely my favourite (at the moment).  I am wearing   09 #lucky   and I can honestly say that in combination with base and top coat, the gel polish stays longer on my nails than any other polish. First I applied one coat of   base coat , which dries really quickly, and has a matte finish.  Then I applied one coat of   #lucky   and followed with a coat of   top coat .  That's all;  the nails are given an extreme, long-lasting gel-shine finish without the need for an LED or UV lamp.   The top coat gives that gel-like shine and protects the colour. These nail polishes are easy to remove using any convent

Nails Of The Day (NOTD): A hint of love

Image
Hello everyone! Today's post is a nails of the day ; I haven't done a NOTD post in months!   This is what I'm wearing on my nails today...   I applied two coats of essence colour & go in 169 - a hint of love .   I forgot to apply a layer of top coat before I took the photos. The colour & go range has a gel-shine finish and an extremely short drying time.  The "quick & easy" brush is flat for an easy even application.  The colour-coded cap corresponds to the nail polish colour.   I  absolutely  love this nail polish; it's a perfect colour for the coming festive season . Have a great weekend!
