Polish I'll Be Wearing for Spring / Essie, OPI, Orly Faves (+Surprise!)

Check out my Top 5 Spring Nail Polish Colors from OPI, Orly & Essie!

Don't mind my not so perfect swatches, lol...

1. ORLY KISS THE BRIDE:
A milky pink color, glides on smoothe.  If you just want a touch of color, but still want to keep it muted and feminine.  Need at least two coats for opacity.

2.  ESSIE PINK ABOUT IT:

A slightly blue based pink.  It has small hints of hot pink glitter, pretty unnoticeable unless you look really close.  Superbly femme... Pink about it... what a cute name.   2 coats works best.

  

3. ESSIE TURQUOISE & CAICOS:

There's something about a mint or turquoise color that makes me giddy inside.  Oh my gosh this color flatters just about everyone!

4. ESSIE NICE IS NICE:

Perfect pale lavender pastel.  Great for when you want a subtle wash of spring whimsy on your nails.  2 coats is ok, but with this color I really like 3 to get the full benefit of the color. 

5. OPI CANT FIND MY CZECHBOOK

What a fun blue toned nail color-  not quite turquoise and not quite a "true" blue color.  However you describe it, it's a fun punch of something different to rock in the spring sunshine.  OPI has such rich consistency, you could get away with just one coat.  Picture below is with two.

AND NOW A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR MY SUBSCRIBERS....

OPI KISS ME I'M BRAZILIAN - ONE FREE BOTTLE JUST FOR YOU!

       

Happy spring sunshine to you!!!

 Did I like it or not?  Is it worth the money? Stay tuned to find out :)




I've had this for a few months, so figured its about time to do a review :)

I bought mine on ebay for about $90.

A Few FIY's:
  -I have oily skin, with acne mainly in my chin/jaw area.
  -The brush head only vibrates/pulsates NOT spin/rotate.
  -Even after using this to wash my face, I still need to follow up with my normal exfoliating routine, this particular brush head does not "exfoliate" only cleanses.
  -You can get quite a few uses between charges.  I've left mine off the charger for days and used it a few times.

The main reason I bought this is because I was trying to get rid of the hyperpigmentation spots on my cheek.  My normal hand washing was starting to feel like it wasn't getting my face clean enough and no matter what product I would put on my skin, it would only work as good as I prepared my skin. 

So after using it, I feel overall it gets my face extremely clean and prepares it very well.  however I think there may be other products out on the market that might work just as good but will be more affordable.  After all, it is just a pulsating soft brush that you apply to your face and rub in circles.  Cheaper facial brush cleansing system Im sure can do the same thing.  Do your homework though, before investing in anything.
