Essie: Muchi Muchi

Hello Everyone!

September is just around the corner.  I hate to say this, but summer went by so quickly.  In Toronto, it has been a very cool summer.  Some days felt like spring or early fall.  Last year, we had a very hot summer, so I guess mother nature is just telling us to enjoy the fact that there's no snow! :)

Today I have a review for Essie's Muchi Muchi. I bought this way back in April during Shopper Drug Mart's BOGO offer.  I only wore Muchi Muchi this past week.  

OPI: Skull & Glossbones

Hello!

Today I have a post for an older polish. This is OPI Skull & Glossbones from Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides from 2011.  I bought the mini set and sometimes I use the pink and purple but I never wore the grey colours.  Stranger Tides seems like a shade that is grey but with a hint of green.   I think they look pretty, but I never wore either colour before.

The packaging is kind of bent but I rarely used this...

Comparisons: Base and Top Coats Part 2

Hello!

Today I have a comparison to share.  I originally did one last October for the base and top coats I had owned.  Since then, I have finished/stopped using and bought new ones.  

The reason I have so many different base and top coats is because I'm trying to find an alternative to Seche Vite.  I really like Seche Vite but I don't really like the smell and how it kind of thickens midway through the bottle.  I don't really care for Seche Base that much but I do use them together.  

I just want to say first that below is just my opinion based on how the use has turned out for me.  I realize that even for base and top coats there are different batches or depending on how old it is.  Another factor is also how each one of us protects our hands/fingers.  So, what might not work for me, might work for you and vice versa.

OPI: OPI...Eurso Euro and I Reached My Gold!

Hello! 

Today I have a glitter polish to show.  

I bought OPI I Reached My Gold! on sale. It was during a sidewalk sale at Trade Secrets, so this was like $6.  When Oz The Great and Powerful collection came out, I really wanted When Monkeys Fly but because of the "taco" shape glitter, I didn't and bought the other two glitters instead.  I have since sold my two glitters but I still wanted to try this one.  Since it was on sale, I thought why not?

butter LONDON: Scrubbers

I bought this during a Sephora haul in April.  This was before I knew OPI was also coming out with their own travel removers.

I'm not sure about you, but when I go on vacation I try to make my polish last.  Usually it's ok and chips mid-vacation.  This is different when I go to a resort.  Something about being at a resort (sunscreen, sand and water) makes my polish go weird.  So I noticed with nail polish is that it seems to dissolve from muscle relaxing cream or sunscreen.  The muscle one sometimes makes it start to dissolve and sunscreen makes it less shiny for me.  So it looks worn down.  This can be said with sand as well.  

Anyway, when I went to Cuba and the Dominican Republic, I carried with me a small bottle of polish remover.  This is pretty inconvenient because it is prone to leak.  Enter these travel packs.  So I avoided using the scrubber since I'm not on vacation, but I was curious how big it was.

Here are some pictures:
