NOTD: Essie Lady Like

Haven't wrote in a long time, I've been attempting to get back on my routine of school, yay (sarcastically) and hope you had a good summer! Anyways, today I am wearing a polish called Lady Like by Essie. I was in the mood to wear a somewhat simple polish instead of a crazy hot pink or bright neon green. Fun fact, this was my first ever polish since I haven't got into nail polish until last year. I would consider this polish a somewhat neutral color with a hint of purple.



                                                                                                  This is a tan-ish purple polish. The formulation is pretty good, but may be a bit streaky now and then. I would have to say this polish is somewhat opaque, but opaque enough for just two decent layers. It has a somewhat shiny finish and of course it would look nice with a shiny top coat. 
(two coats)

You can purchase this product at any drugstore for around $6-$8.

Do you remember your first ever polish? If so, what was it?

NOTD: OPIs You Callin' Me A Lyre?

Today's nail polish is probably one of my favorite nail polishes by OPI because it's a very pretty sheer pink. This polish is in the New York City Ballet collection with other pretty sheer polishes as well. I feel like it can match basically anything because it's so neutral and simple. This color looks perfect for a french manicure or even just alone.

I am absolutely in love with this color because it's sheer it helps your nails still look natural, but I feel that it just enhances your nails and make them look 100x better than before. As shown in the picture, the polish gives off a glossy/shiny finish which is good especially since my nails were top coat-less (because I had run out my top coat). So now I know that if I add a top coat it will add a beautiful shine to the nails. Also, I am especially in love with the name of the polish and how they put a tiny pun into the name.

This nail polish is sold at any drugstore that sells OPI nail polish and it retails for around $8-9.

Let me know what your favorite natural/french manicure is, I'd love to try them!
