Essie Mint Candy Apple and Some Sparkle

Next up in my line of Essie polishes is Mint Candy Apple. I'm sure you've seen this one before, I know I have and I've wanted it for so long! I tried to talk myself out of it because I thought it looked very similar to Barry M Mint Green but it's actually quite a lot lighter, I'll compare them one day.

The flowers and twirly bits (thumb only) are from Konad plate M51 in Konad Princess Polish White. I added a couple of green rhinestones from Art Deco Nails to the middle of the flowers on the thumb and ring fingers. I was going to leave the flowers alone but then I was going to a wedding party and decided to add a bit of sparkle.

It's such a gorgeous colour I'm so glad I didn't manage to talk myself out of it :)

Purple Shininess

My favourite colour changes on a day to day basis. Today my favourite colour is purple.

I've been having a play with the Diamond Cosmetics nail varnishes that I got from Another Bottle of Polish and Pelican Peak Purple is my favourite.

That's Pelican Peak Purple for the base colour and designs from a fauxnad plate I got off EBay in OPI's Funky Dunkey. The purple rhinestones are from Viva La Nails and they're so bright in real life; they seem to glow they're so shiny!

Hello Kitty

I do love a bit of Hello Kitty.

Hello

Kitty!

I started with a base colour of Nails Inc's warwick avenue which took about 5 coats to cover my nail line. I was surprised how translucent it was because it looks a lot thicker in the bottle.

Hello Kitty was stamped on in Konad SP in white and her bows were filled in using a dotting tool and Nails Inc's beaumont street.

A Rhinestone was added to embellish her bow on my thumbs and index fingers.
