#121: Elianto Turquoise & ESSENCE Perfectly True + KONAD M79

I ran out of my Konad White Stamping Polish. Had to get another one soon. Not much to say today except that Elianto Turquoise is a very close Tiffany shade, well maybe a tad darker. The clouds signify my mood for today. It's cloudy almost everyday at the same hour. So predictable~ And I hate the after work traffic jam. Argh!!!

#119: ESSENCE Perfectly True & INGLOT 302

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm wearing pink to show my support. This was layered over a white cause this polish is super sheer. No nail art whatsoever just plain color. Talking about pink, there's a pink purse from Coach that is high on my want list as of now. And that purse is limited so I gotta make up my mind if I really wanted it. Sigh~ Decisions decisions...

#118: ESSENCE Perfectly True & ESSIE Bright Tights + BUNDLE MONSTER BM13, BM-225, BM-223, BM-224

I think I found another white which may work on par with my go to staple white, Essie Blanc. Essence Perfectly True is quite easy to work with and I only needed 2 thin coat for opacity. However, it's layered over another polish this time. I'll see if I can remember to post this on it's own or maybe topped with a glittery polish on my coming post.

Bundle Monster have a variety of stamping plates for Halloween theme nails. If you don't have it, you should get yourself both sets cause it's really cheaper than Konad's stamping plates. Bundle Monster's shipping was pretty fast the last time I ordered.

Well this may be too early but I may not have time for this during Halloween as I might be away during that week. Eat, drink and be scary** Happy Halloween everyone~ =)

#117: ESSENCE In The Jungle & ESSENCE Iced Mint Frappe + Nail Art

Dark green paired with a pastel mint green filled with loads of polka dots. Simplicity always turn out pleasing to the eyes. Essence In the Jungle looks very very close to OPI Jade Is The New Black. If you love greens, you'll need to have both. Otherwise, you'll only need to have either one of these. I have both, so maybe I'll do a comparison in my coming post. And as for the pastel mint green, I couldn't compare as I do not own many pastel polish.

#105: ESSENCE Choose Me! & CHINA GLAZE 2030 + KONAD M38

Essence Choose Me is a stunning blue-green with gold microglitters and when top with Seche makes this glass fleck beauty even more amazing. Stamping done with China Glaze 2030 with a simple flower pattern on nail tips. The nail blogosphere says it's a dupe for Zoya Charla but I really don't know how true cause I can't compare.

#101: ZOYA Minka, CHINA GLAZE CG In The City & ESSENCE Copper Rulez + KONAD M66

Subtle and conservative french tips should be an ideal work appropriate mani. After done painting the tips, I move on to top the smile line with China Glaze CG In The City using a brush and then stamped the bamboo pattern from Konad M66 to my thumb and middle finger. Finish everything with a glossy top coat and you're good to go. =)

#84: ZOYA Mira, CHUN KU Violet Glitter & ESSENCE Matt Top Coat

Zoya Mira seems quite close to OPI Funky Dunkey though the latter may be a tad bit darker from what I observe. I may not own OPI Funky Dunkey but I didn't think it was necessary to buy both as it's almost similar. Note to self: It's just another creme purple. =)

#83: ESSENCE Copper Rulez + KONAD M57

I was so frustrated that I couldn't paint my finger nails so I painted my toe nails instead. I don't think I have a polish that looks like Essence Copper Rulez in my humble stash and I never knew that metallic polished would look so good on my toe nails. The flowers stamped on my toe from Konad M57 looks like jasmine after I filled the centre with yellow polish. Love this~

#82: ESSENCE You Belong To Me, COLOR CLUB Wicked Sweet & ESSENCE Choose Me! + KONAD M3

The base was 1 coat of Essence You Belong To Me and then I sponge 1 layer of Color Club Wicked Sweet to the middle section and lastly sponge on 2 layers of Essence Choose Me for the extra glitters. Oh and the stamping color was actually purple but I didn't know why my camera captured it as blue. Hope you like this mani~ I'll be back after my short break. =)

#78: ESSENCE Absolutely Stylish + BUNDLE MONSTER BM-206

I noticed green and pink colored flecks of shimmer on the polish bottle but it didn't look like that at all when painted on my nails. A little disappointed but this color seems like a hit on the internet so I thought I'd just have to try it. Maybe its because of my bad lighting that I couldn't see the shimmer. Yeah... just maybe~

#77: ESSENCE Very Berry + Heart Shaped Fimo

No konad this time but I decorated my nails with heart shaped fimo that I bought from a local nail supplies store. I really have to shout out that this mani is super cute! Even my husband says it's different from what I usually do and he likes it. Happy happy... =)

#75: ESSENCE What Do You Think? + KONAD M2

Essence What Do You Think is an amazing peachy coral polish. I only stamped a simple konad pattern on my accent finger because I was visiting the annual floral festival and didn't want to make my nails look too overpowering against the natural flowers on display at the festival.

Sorry I had to make this photo look darker as I'd like to show the real color of Zoya Kieko. The stamping did not appear too well on camera but it's really nice when I look at it in real life.

#71: ESSENCE Let's Get Lost & BUNDLE MONSTER BM16

Yikes~ A little imbalance and the stamping smeared slightly. Pardon me. Didn't have much time to think about what to paint on my nails. So I tried a new Essence polish as french tips. Love this color! Gotta paint a full mani with these on soon. Stay tuned for that~

I've tested that purple diamond works great as a stamping color but I've not tried a full mani with it. It's a shimmery purple foil polish and I love it!

#65: ESSENCE Lime Up! & OPI Jade Is The New Black + Nail Art

Sorry you had to see Essence polishes coming up in the next few posts as I'm really excited about trying this brand. =) Tried to french it with a darker green and it looks quite dull. So I added dots along the french to come up with this really simple mani.
