Nail of the Day: Essence Modern Romance

Posted on December 6, 2012 by simplebeauty8312

Today’s nail of the day is very appropriate for the holiday season. The color is Modern Romance by Essence and the accent nail is Millionaire by Nailtini. I really like this combination. I used 2 coats for each of the polishes and a top coat. I probably should have done another coat of Modern Romance, because if you look closely you should be able to see that it is not completely opaque.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze Peachy Keen

Posted on July 22, 2012 by simplebeauty8312

I love this color! China Glaze Peachy Keen is the perfect creamy peach nail polish shade. It is the only true peach nail polish I own. As with most of China Glaze’s polishes, this one is a little thick, but not overly so. It requires only 2 coats for full opacity. The only downfall is that for me, this is a little hard to apply because it is on the thicker side and initially it looks streaky. This shade is definitely in my top 3 favorite nail polishes in my collection.

Have you tried Peachy Keen? Do you know of any dupes?
