Essence: Edward's Love

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIIIIIIGGGHHHHT!
Ok! I'm sorry for that. I was watching Kevin Hart's stand up comedy show and I had to get it out of my system.
On with the show! Today I have the last Twilight polish from Essence to show you. It's called Edward's Love. Okay so I wish I really was the object of Edward's affections but this is the closest I will ever get <3
Edward's Love is a black base jam packed with silver glass fleck/shimmer.  I just don't think of this when I think of Edward. Maybe I was expecting something a little more sparkly or holo maybe. I had a better time applying this one than I did with Jacob's Protection & Alice Had A Vision-Again.

Essence: Alice Had A Vision-Again

Hello! Today I am posting really late since I had to work and then we went to a Three Kings Day event at a local McDonald's to help give out toys to the children of the community. Today I have the third polish from Essence's Twilight Collection called Alice Had A Vision-Again. Alice Had a Vision-Again is very similiar to Jacob's Protection except it's a blackened base with purple glass fleck/shimmer. I also had the same issues with the formula being quite thick.

Essence: Jacob's Protection

Hello everybody. Today I have the second polish from the Essence Twilight Breaking Dawn collection. Jacob's Protection is a blackened base with a beautiful blue fleck/shimmer. On certain angles I was able to see scattered bits of rainbow goodness. That being said, the formula left something to be desired. It was very thick and goopy. I think it might benefit from a couple of drops of nail polish thinner before I wear it again. It is beautiful though. The actual shimmery glow was hard to capture on camera but I tried my best.

Essence: A Piece of Forever

Hello all my beautiful followers. Today I have the first of four polishes from Essence's Twilight: Breaking Dawn Collection. I am a die-hard Twilight fan. There! I said it...don't judge me. I picked this up in Ulta a few months ago but have just gotten to swatching it now. My untrieds stash is getting a little bit out of control...(blushing shamefully with just a bit of pride)

A Piece of Forever is a warm golden metallic polish. It came off a bit brush-strokey but not enough to make me hate it. The formula was really good. It was opaque in only 2 coats. Now let me say something about the brush. I love the wide brushes that are becoming the norm in newer polishes. The brush in these polishes were so wide it was a little hard to work with. Other than that I have nothing bad to say.

Happy New Years Eve

Happy New Years' Eve everyone. I hope 2013 brings blessings of health, wealth and love to you all. I must say that 2012 has been quite an interesting year. Not so great but not so bad either. I am so grateful to be able to see another year come and go. Watching my beautiful daughter grow has been such a blessing. I wanted to enter our new year with lots of bling on my nails so here we have it. My very first attempt at real nail art.

 Can you tell that the design on my middle finger is a glass of champagne? I hope to improve my art skills in 2013 :)

 

I used a bunch of different polishes for this but I can't remember all the names. I know i used China Glaze Some Like It Haute, China Glaze Glistening Snow, China Glaze Angel Wings, LynB Designs Luxury Tax, an Icing polish and the gold glitter on my middle finger is a Julep.

 

Everyone has a blessed and safe night.
