Essie at Shoppers

Hey ladies!

I was just at Shoppers Drug Mart yesterday and their Essie nail polishes were on sale for $8.99CDN (original price $11). That's a decent price, but today, I went to another location and they were only $7.00! I'm not sure if it's because I was in a different city (still in GVRD) or if it was a different sale.

I've been attracted to rich and slightly shimmery nail polishes lately (recently picked up Essie Jag-U-Are). So today I got Sexy Divide from Essie's Winter '08 collection. The colour was inspired by Abaete's fall/winter runway fashion collection.




The colour goes on smoothly like all Essie polishes. The shimmer is very muted. I can't wait to make my grey and neutral outfits pop in the fall with this nail polish!

Seche Vite

Hey darlings!

I haven't updated this blog for ages. Sorry! *begs for forgiveness* =)

Anyway, just a week or so ago I went down to the States with the boyfriend and I picked up a bunch of beauty products. I'm so excited to show them to you guys. But here's the product that brought me back to you guys: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.


Dry Gast Top Coat

Don't you ladies hate sitting there waiting for your gorgeous nails to dry (although some of you may love it because it's an excuse to have our man spoil us while we're temporarily "disabled"). Well, this product is sent straight from heaven.

I got it for $9.99 at Ulta but you can purchase it on Amazon for cheaper (they're 50% off right now!). For a girl that rarely purchases nail polishes that cost more than $2 (aside from Essie <3), this product is a good investment. Opportunity cost! <-sorry, the economics geek is still within me. I've seen this product used by a couple Youtube gurus but from what I know, it's not overly popular. They did mention that it takes practice to use but it was very easy for me. You can't be cheap though. The best way to apply this product is to put a drop of the product on your nail and then spread it out. That way you won't smudge your nail polish. It dries pretty quickly. I usually just watch a few Youtube videos and it's already solid. To re-literate how quick it is. I applied two coats of my nail polish and the top coat before I started typing this post and it's already dry (I'm a fast typer). Amazing! It lasts long, no flakes, quick drying, glossy finish, and affordable. <3 Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
