Essie Mint Candy Apple : pastel nails again !

So let's say I am on a nail phase at the moment ! Pastel nails if precision is needed ...The photo make the color a little less intense than in reality. Pastel, yes, but it makes a statement on a hand. Funny though, I thought pastel nails would look really wearable and discrete. I guess I was wrong but i like it (not being wrong mouhahaha, I just like to be surprised by the splash of color !)

Then, I think I found the good length for my nails now and the care I take of my cuticles seems to show. Hourah !

I still find that those pastels colors are hardcore to apply but I am a newbie to this new sport so I guess I am just clumsy ....

Have a nice sunday

Essie Lilacism : Art of spring collection (2010)

Spring trend is all about pastel colors for the nails...I didn't own any pastel color to fit this trend so I couldn't resist when I find this little cute package from Essie with 4 tempting shades ! Did I read reviews on how sheer were the Essie nail polishes, did I read the warnings about how dreadful it was to apply ??? Like Amy would sing : No, NO, NO....
Oh MY, what a nightmare to apply ! It's streaky, it's to sheer. On the photo I wear 3 coats and I would probably have needed a 4th one ...Really ? Yes, really !
Nonetheless I ADORE this color, I 've been watching my nails all evening long smiling like crazy ....

SO let's get to the point, it's a pain to apply but who cares when the result is so AMAZING ?

Today , I discovered I have bad taste !

I spend a lot of time on Youtube since the Makeup addiction stroke me 1 year ago ...and when you browse Make up gurus, you cannot ignore Kandee Johnson ! I am not sure I am fond of her eternal positive attitude (yes my roots are latin and a overwelmed-always-happy person is a little weird to me !!!) but I like her make up tips ....So I went for the tackiest nails ever : Zebra one . Husband was quite shocked and said : what with the tigress look ??? Me (disappointed) : it is not a Tiger , it 's a zebra....Him (never, ever wrong ) : let's say an albinos tiger....

mouhaha, he cracks me up (after 15 years together, let's say I am alittle proud of that !)
