#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~ =)

#110: ETTUSAIS GY2 & ESSIE Playa Del Platinum + Nail Art

Please ignore the bubble on my middle finger. Was in a hurry and did not notice it till later on.
Ettusais is a Japanese brand and this polish was a birthday gift from a male colleague last year. Ettusais GY2 is a mauve taupe with slight hints of shimmer. Paired here with Essie Playa Del Platinum and dots done with a dotting tool. I have no idea why Playa Del Platinum appear white here. A 60's retro style polka dots nail art~

#96: ESSIE Playa Del Platinum, CHINA GLAZE Metallic Muse, CHINA GLAZE Sci-Fi & CHINA GLAZE Admire + BUNDLE MONSTER BM02

A little disappointed that the long holidays here has delayed my parcel from arriving early. I really wanted to try out some of the newer colors instead of having to "recycle" my old polish again and again. Gah...

Anyways, these chrome polishes really does make the design stand out. Does this pattern even look like fireworks?
