Nail of the Day – Essie in “Jazz”

23 Sep

I’m a big fan of nude nail polish and the brand Essie has a lot to offer. “Topless and Barefoot” and “Sand Tropez” are two of my favorites, but I purchased another famous nude color from the brand a few weeks ago.

Essie - "Jazz"

This neutral color is more of a tan, muddy color. I prefer this when I want a nude color that doesn’t have too much pinks or browns in it.

This color is also surprisingly shiny for a nude. Look how beautiful it is on my nails!

What do you think? Would you wear it?

Essie Nail Polish Giveaway!

22 May

If you haven’t seen my YouTube channel, I just started a giveway for my two favorite Essie polishes in the French Affair collection. Here’s just a sneak peak of the colors you’ll be winning if you:

  • Subscribe to my channel – http://www.youtube.com/user/fromashleywithl0ve?feature=mhee
  • Follow me on Twitter
  • Comment something about your summer favorite product
  • Tweet something about my giveaway including my username @ohhiashley

From L to R: Essie: Topless & Barefoot and Essie: Sand Tropez

Although I know they look very similar, “Topless & Barefoot” is more of a pink-undertone nude, whereas “Sand Tropez” is the definition of a nude polish. There aren’t any pink or yellow undertones to the color and it’s so nude and opaque.

L to R: Topless & Barefoot, Sand Tropez

I already have both of these colors. These are repurchased, unopened duplicates for my most loved colors from the French Affair collection and possibly the entire Essie line.

NUDES = LOVE.

If you have any questions about the giveaway or entry rules, let me know. I extended the contest until MAY 31, which is in a week from this Tuesday (pretty much because I had a delay in getting the YouTube video up) but please enter!

Love you all!!! xoxo

Nail of the Day – Essie: Kisses & Bises

20 May

I basically had every color from the Essie French Affair collection, then I went to Walgreen’s last night to get some allergy medicine and of course I went to the nail polish section. For some reason, I think because the new “Braziliant” line for Essie just came out, they marked down the French Affair polishes like crazy. What they had left was “Topless & Barefoot” (which I already had), “Sand Tropez” (which I already had), and “Kisses & Bises.” I wasn’t in love with Kisses & Bises when it came out in the first place, but for a few dollars, I decided to get it. What I also decided to do, was buy my most loved colors from the collection, which happened to be the two other nude colors I mentioned. Topless & Barefoot was a hard color to find in general, no matter where you went because it became so popular so fast, so I scooped up that color as well as my other fave, Sand Tropez… because for so cheap, why not give them to people that missed out on the collection for a giveaway on my new YouTube channel?!?! Stay tuned for details! 😉 If you’re not a subscriber, my channel is fromashleywithl0ve (that’s a zero in the love).

Anyways, continuing with the NOTD!

Kisses & Bises

 

This color is probably one of the sheerest colors I’ve ever worn. I was almost tempted to put a third coat on. When I look down at my hands, I forget I have polish on, but when the light hits my nails, it is just so pretty. The color is pearlescent but more on the purple/pink side and perfect for wearing every day at work, no matter where that is. I definitely needed this pretty nail color on today as a pick-me-up. I keep getting sick, and today it’s at its worst.

poooooooooooooooor me!

Guess what I’ll be doing all weekend? Yep, you guessed it. Resting up & trying to get better. I mean, c’mon! It’s almost June. Go away allergies!!!
