Yesterday I wanted to paint my nails, since they started layering again.
I was trying some polishes, but then decided to go with this gorgeous color..
Essence Caribbean Sea, which you can see here.
But as if the color itself wasn't good enough, I decided to use my Essie Matte About You over it.
With it, it got this lovely satin finish..
I like it, I only wish I had longer nails ;).
Flash light + sweet stuff I shouldn't be eating:
Natural light:
I love the matte effect, but sometimes my polish will chip faster with this top coat, because it creates some hard parts next to the skin. I cannot explain it, but something it happens and it's really annoying.
So, which one is better - matte or glossy?


That is a great color on you!!
ReplyDeletehow many coats do you have on? it looks quite thick, maybe that could be the reason for chipping.
ReplyDeleteDuckalicious: One coat of base coat (thin), another thin coat of nail polish (essence) and a thin coat of Essie Matte About You.
ReplyDeleteMy nails are thick ;).
Ahh! It looks really nice =D
ReplyDeleteAnd I heard that the matte stuff chips a lot. Even OPI doesn't recommend it as a normal manicure and suggests it for special occasions to make a fashion statement ><
Such a nice vibrant color! I'm still not brave enough to wear these colors in public =[
ReplyDeleteLisa: You should try. It's really fun, since if you are bored you can just stare at your nails and wonder about its color... :) It can be fun!
ReplyDeleteTwo days ago I saw a car that was the exact color than my nails were. Plus no one cares about your nails :/.. I wore neon colors, and noone said anything.
Jian: Oh, I didn't know that. That's just.. sad >.< I wanted to wear them matte every single day! But now I know, eh... sad! Thank you!
