Essie Mirror Metallics - Blue Rhapsody & Penny Talk

 Hi! Happy Monday. I am kind of excited to go to my college orientation today - going back to school after  about 6 yrs. Scary! I hope there are other big kids there.. haha. I thought about not going to one but I am far too disorganized to figure out where everything is myself. Taking 5 classes this semester so I better get in touch with that reality soon...

 Anyway, I have two of the Essie Mirror Metallics to show you. My collection was seriously lacking some chrome. I found the formula to these to be pretty tricky to say the least. Penny Talk being the more difficult of the two.

  The trick would be to NOT go over the same area twice and to let each layer dry. If you go back over it too soon it will completely drag off. (blehcrywhimper) They're quite thick so I would try to do it in one coat, but these are both 2 coats on most fingers. (The ones that looked decent enough at one I left alone!!)


  Blue Rhapsody -






Penny Talk -





 I think they're great chromes and worth the effort! Though I'll prob let the next one sit in the untrieds for a while....

    These are really good chromes! Probably the best I've seen since the old Sally Hansen ones! I picked up Penny Talk a few weeks ago, but I want them all! They look nice on you!

    I love these on you! I haven't picked up any of them yet because chromes are like my kryptonite- I just can't deal with the way they show all of my nail imperfections! I sooooo love penny talk though. Ugh. Maybe I will try just one ;)

    These are both gorgeous, the Blue Rhapsody is really calling out to me and I'm not much of a blue person! And good luck at your college orientation today! I went back to school after a long hiatus after high school and I was very nervous at first! But once you get back into the swing of things, you'll be good as new =)
