My first Essie polish!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a lovely day. Today I want to share my first ever Essie nail polish! (I have Shine of the Times but I don't really consider that a polish that you can wear on it's own.) Enjoy!

Mojio Madness is a bright green creme that is fully opaque in 2 coats. I believe this polish is part of the Essie 2012 Summer Collection. Correct me if I'm wrong. I need to purchase more Essie polishes, what is your favoirte Essie color?

 I absolutely love this color, however since it's fall I brought it down it notch by sponging on a duochrome polish.

Franken Blogger Series Part 1: Purple Castle

Hello beautiful ladies! A couple weeks ago, I decided to try my first franken and couldn't decide on what color or polishes to use. Then I thought why not choose to do them by someone who inspires me and has helped me a lot here on blogger.
I chose to do a franken inspired by Lydia from Sekhmet's Purple Castle. We both decided Purple Castle would be a great name for the polish!
Its a light purple with pink undertones, large, medium, and small silver/holo hex glitters, purple glitters, blue glitters, silver shimmers, orange and green flakies, and blue and purple hex glitter! Enjoy!

*There will be 2 more frankens inspired by Katee from A Girl and Her Polish and Jenni from Gold Speck Nails

Flakie Mani

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a good day! So the other day I was going through my nail polish collection and wanted to do a flake mani, I layered a blue/green flakie over a orange/green flakie and to me it looks like Finger Paints in Twister or Asylum ! I love it, enjoy!
