My Time To Shine...

Decided to finally get my mani changed & swatch some of my new Essies! This purple color is from Essie's brand new collections...I ended up doing 3 coats of this. It wasn't streaky or anything but the color DEFINITELY changed with each layer.  It's a crazy fun electric Easter-egg purple.  I wanted to go bright since my last mani was a deep blue-green.  After letting the purple dry, I decided to finally lose my "flaky-virginity" and finally use my Essie flakies from the LuxeEffect Collection :) I only used "Shine Of The Times" on my ring fingers & do an 'accent nail'.  I've been loving how vibrant this mani is...let me know what you ladies think of this combo :) .....and don't forget to let all your beauty SHINE!

  1. Pretty! I was eyeing this at Ulta today, but had to step away as I already did enough damage. I love this purple, and shine of the times works really well over it too.
