NOTD: Celia Misses You!

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you kind of a boring mani, but I thought that it would turn out better than it actually did. It is still not too bad though I guess! This is Mecca Cosmetica Celia under a layer of Sinful Colors I Miss You. The pink tones don't match as well as I had hoped, but you can really only tell if you look closely. Can you tell that I love this glitter though? If you have access to it, I urge you to run to your nearest Walgreens and go get it, it is totally worth it!

Another reminder that I will be doing a 300 follower giveaway, and I am only a handful of followers away from it!

Mattified Essie and Mecca!

Hey everyone! Today I bring you mattified polish! I matted these with Essie's Matte About You Topcoat. At the bottom is the picture of them glossy for comparison; enjoy!

Essie Mint Candy Apple - I think that I like this one shiny better, I don't know, candy should just be shiny! I would be wary of matte candy...

Essie Forever Young - I love this one matte! It looks so retro and fun matte! It seems very 50's/ burlesque/ pin-up awesome!

Mecca Cosmetica Celia - I love this one matte too, although its shiny counterpart tickles my fancy as well! I don't know if I will ever use it in nail art matte; but I do like it!

Stay tuned, later today I am posting my awesome fun time with kelliegonzo!!!! You need to see it!

Mecca Cosmetica Celia

Squeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! (Jumps up and down like an over-excited 3 year old) I got my wonderful package from Jacie O who writes You've Got Nail all of the way from Australia! I have never gotten an international package before, so it was really neat to get one. I won a prize from her inaugural giveaway, and I won a Mecca Cosmetica polish in Celia.

Jacie, you pack so well! For anyone who ever wins a polish from her, I can pretty much guarantee that it will not break or leak. It was taped up to prevent leaks and was wrapped tight in bunches of bubble wrap, it took me 15 minutes to get that puppy open; but it was in pristine condition after traveling halfway around the world!

I am really so lucky to have gotten this. This particular brand is only sold and shipped to Australia and New Zealand, and this is by far the most expensive polish in my collection (~$18.54 USD). Thank you so much Jacie, I love it!

I would describe this polish as a pink/lavender. I know that the picture makes it look pink, but it is not. This is definetly best described as MAC Snob lipstick in nail polish form. It is not pink, but at the same time not purple, although it leans more towards the purple side IMO. It can't decide what color it is! It also contains a pretty subtle silver shimmer to it in the bottle, but it doesn't show up on the nail. It applied perfectly in two coats, and is surprisingly opaque. It is very worksafe without being boring; which I love! Do you all love the color too?
