Essence Vampire’s Love TE turned out to be nice surprise – I love more or less everything I got. Four of the five polishes are pretty dark shades … just how I like them for the fall/winter time. And it doesn’t hurt that they packed them in Catrice bottles (brushes are not the same). I applied 2 coats + top ...

I have 2 flakies in my collection that I wanted to compare to Essence Waking Up in Vegas – Inglot 205 and Gosh Rainbow.

I never became fan of this technique as I’m pretty clumsy so I need lots and lots of time to make it look pretty. If I was doing scotch tape mani, then I was determined to go all the way and ...
