My #10 Favorite Polish for Winter for 2016 is...

 Gala-Vanting!!

I fall in love with every Essie Gel Couture polish I try, and this one in no exception :). They truly are amazing! This polish is a beautiful deep rich berry/burgundy color, which gets richer and deeper in color with each coat but, is opaque in two coats. It's so glossy and with the Essie Gel Couture top coat, it's very long wearing. If you want to see my review of this polish line click on the link below

Essie Gel Couture: Review

The swatch below is three coats and one top coat. So beautiful!!

I really wanted a soft and delicate lacey look for Valentine's day. 

And, I love a good twist on a french tip. This design is a little more on the intermediate side, so watch my full length tutorial for some tips and tricks. Can you see the hearts?! Ha they really are pretty small.

My #8 Favorite Polish for Winter 2016 is...

Lincoln Park After Dark!!

This classic polish is part of OPI's classic collection and has been around for a looong time. I would be curious to see if there is anyone out there (who is a nail polish lover) who hasn't tried it. Let me know down below if you have this in your collection. 

There are many vampy polishes like this one, but I feel like there is something in this formula that sets it apart from all the others. It's a deep, deep purple. So deep, it's almost black. It has SO much depth when you have it on and it's so shiny. It has a slightly jelly formula. It's hot blooded! You just need to check it and see! (You see what I did there) Ha! Two easy coats for this one.

I love deep purples paired with soft purples and I knew that this would be SO good with Go Go Geisha by Essie. And yep, they look so spectacular together. It was meant to be. :) This delicate floral design really is pretty simple to create, you just need the right supplies and the right tools. Click on the link below to see the full length tutorial. I also have a list of all the supplies in the description box of the video. Thanks for visiting!!

My Winter Favorites for 2016!!

Here are my top ten for Winter 2016! It had a hard time finding colors from the new releases this year that I craved this season. So I picked a few good ones from my stash. I have a good mix of cremes and shimmers for this that are great for these cold month and the holiday season. Stay tuned for photos, live swatches and nail designs for each one in the coming weeks.

Below is the link to my video where I talk about each one. Go and watch!
