Re-discovering Essie - To Buy Or Not To Buy

The next Essie nail varnish that I have 're-discovered' is To Buy Or Not To Buy from Essie's Navigate Her Spring 2012 Collection.

Just like Bikini So Teeny the polish in the bottle has a shimmer to it, however disappointingly the shimmer can not be seen once the polish has been applied to the nails. The colour is a beautiful light lilac.

The formula gives a cream finish after what we would recommend to be 3 coats as there were a few streaks still available after 2 coats as you can see below. 

To Buy Or Not To Buy is a polish that can be worn with a casual or a formal outfit as it adds a nice element of class. 

Essie's 2012 Spring Collection including To Buy Or Not To Buy can still be purchased online at prices lower than Essie's current collection prices so why not have a look online and see what you can find. 

Camera from Essie's Summer Poppy-Razzi Collection will be my final "re-discovering Essie for Summer 2013" blog post so keep a lookout for it!

Do you own any Essie Polish? What is your favorite Essie Collection or Polish?

Have you re-discovered any polish or beauty products this Summer?

Re-discovering Essie - Bikini So Teeny

Hi Guys,

Before I went away I chose 3 Essie nail polishes to take to Greece with my, these were: 

• A Blue shade Essie polish - Bikini So Teeny
• A Purple shade Essie polish - To Buy Or Not To Buy
• A Red/Coral shade Essie polish - Camera

I feel as though I have "re-discovered" these nail polishes and re-discovering does help us as bloggers to save money/ to get our moneys worth in the products that we purchase.

 Bikini So Teeny is from the 2012 Essie Summer Collection. 

To Buy Or Not To But is from Navigate Her Spring 2012 Collection.

 Camera is from Essie's Summer Poppy-Razzi Collection.

Bikini So Teeny

The pastel baby blue colour has an easy applicator as the brush is flat and gives a easy coverage of the nail. (shown below after just one coat)

However the glitter particles that you can see in the bottle are not transferred or appear on the nail which can be disappointing although in the light it does add to a pretty shine amongst the polish. The final shade of blue after two coats is that of a clear sky blue with a soft lilac undertone. The nail varnish dries rather quickly and doesn't leave any streaks. 

Essie's 2012 Summer Collection including Bikini So Teeny can still be purchased online at prices lower than Essie's current collection prices so why not have a look online and see what you can find. 

To Buy Or Not To But is from Navigate Her Spring 2012 Collection and Camera is from Essie's Summer Poppy-Razzi Collection will both be featured in their own blog post following the structure and content of this one so make sure you look out for them!

London- Friday 28th June

Friday was our last day in London (unfortunately) and it wasn't very interesting at all to be honest with you guys, so this will be a short post!

We spent part of our morning packing, and then we travelled to Victoria on the tube. Our Megabus was at half 4 and literally had 5 hours to kill, so we spent most of our time in Café Nero! 

We absolutely loved our time in London and can't wait to go back!

Our recent posts have been different to usual but we thought we may as well update you on what's been happening in our lives! As we have stated we do love being a fashion and beauty blog, however we are going to include lifestyle posts and we hope that the update of our week in London has done the trick.

We hoped you enjoyed it- and if not normal blogging will resume as of now!

What have you thought to our London updates? Do you guys like it as much as us?

Let us know

Till next time

Love,

Our Week in Photos!

Hi guys!

We're sorry about our lack of blog posts this past week. We do intend to have regular posts every Wednesday but these next few weeks may be a bit on and off as we are both sitting our A levels. No need to worry though, we'll be back with regular posts at least once a week by mid June!

We have so many great ideas for posts so we can't wait to get back to putting all our efforts into this for you guys.

The main point of this post though is to announce a new regular post we'll be doing: 'Our Week in Photos' which will be posted every weekend! It won't be too long but it'll be an update on what we've been doing, and things we've loved during the week- a nice little extra.

We love having feature nails- they make everything seem that little bit more summery!

As you can see we've been planning more posts and getting things ready for you guys.

Summer is possibly our favourite time of year and to get us into the mood we're currently loving Beyonce's album, 4, and Gabrielle Aplin's new single, Panic Chord.

Also- we're currently obsessed with mango Rubicon and mixed fruits!

Not overly compelling but we hope you enjoyed it.

What do you think of us doing 'Our Week in Photos' posts? Do you guys love summer as much as us?

We'd love to hear from you,

Until Wednesday (hopefully)

Love,

M&B x
