Nails Done, Hair Done, Everything Did
Hellooo loves! It's finally Friday (my favorite day of the week). For some reason, it felt like this week flew by. Did anyone else feel that way? Well, anyway, since it's Friday, I'm back to share this week's fave! Today, my Friday Fave is Essie nail polish!
Fun fact: I painted my nails every single day in high school. I really wanted to get good at it, so I forced myself to do it all the time because as you know, practice makes perfect. Now, I'm freaking amazing at painting my own nails. AND, I can do them in less than 5 minutes. Impressive huh?
I've had several different favorite nail polishes, but now I think I'm set for life. My first favorite was China Glaze, but Essie beats it by far! The colors are amazing, super pigmented, and they last for so long. I think the formula is slightly thinner, which keeps it from chipping as quickly. It also dries super fast. Last night I painted my nails, and then watched this week's episode of This Is Us. By the end of the episode, my nails were completely dry, and I felt completely confident that I could go to sleep and wake up without any sheet marks on my nails. By the way, if that does ever happen to you(it happened to me all the time in high school), keep a glittery or sparkly polish around. By putting a coat on in the morning, it completely hides all of the sheet ripples and imperfections. I also highly suggest painting your dominant hand first. I'm right handed, so I always paint the nails on my right hand first. My left hand is already weaker, so I don't want to add the obstacle of using it with wet polish on.
This is one of my favorite Essie colors! Ciao Effect is the perfect purple, and it's a great unconventional color for fall! The purple is a fun pop of color, but because it has a gray hue rather than pink, it is more neutral than the average purple polish. My absolute favorite Essie shade is Vanity Fairest. I would have took a picture of it, but I'm all out and need to get a new one :(
I promise, once you go Essie, you'll never use the resties (sorry, I'm so cheesy)!
