Manicure Monday: Kiss Gradation Nail Polishes

Hello again and Happy Monday! Happy Veteran’s Day too, if you happen to be in the U.S. It’s been awhile since the last manicure Monday, and I am kicking them off again with the Kiss Gradation polishes in Film Noir Black. I received this kit in my Rose VoxBox from Influenster, which you can read about in this post.

Manicure Mondays are BACK! Essie – Too Too Hot

Happy Monday! After a break for #JuneBBC (which I still cannot believe is over btw) Manicure Mondays are back! This week is brought to you by Essie’s Too Too Hot. This nail polish is a bright, orange-y red. I like the consistency of this polish, not too thick and not too thin. It applies really well and is pretty opaque in two coats. I think this is a great option for a summer time red nail. Essie polishes can be purchased at most drug stores, Target, Walmart, and Ulta for around $8.

Enjoy!

Julep – Natalie

Is it Monday again already? Insane!

I received this nail polish in my first Julep Maven box a few weeks ago.  This is the first Julep polish that I have ever tried and I think I have found a new brand to obsess over. Super creamy and pigmented, this polish was nearly opaque in one coat. I applied two coats in the photo above, but I could have gotten away with just one. This shade is a bright coral-y pink and is perfect for spring. If you are interested in signing up for the Julep Maven program, you can do so here.

Zoya – Julie

I love, love, love this shade! This is from Zoya’s “Lovely” Spring 2013 line. It is a perfect, pale lilac with a very subtle silver sparkle. The formula is slightly sheer and needs 2-3 coats to be completely opaque. The best part about Zoya polishes is that that last a very long time on me! I do a lot with my hands and my polish nearly always chips in a day or so. I am able to go a solid five days or more without any chipping which is nothing short of a miracle! Like Butter London, Zoya is also a “3 free” brand – meaning the polishes are made without toluene, formaldehyde, or DBP (phthalates). Zoya can be purchased at Ulta stores for $9.00.

Per usual, I used Seche Clear as a base coat and Seche Vite as a top coat.

Happy Monday!
