piCture pOlish - Tiffany

Hello!  I finally got around to wearing Tiffany by piCture pOlish.

And it's beautiful, I got so many compliments at work, and I loved telling them that the colour was called "tiffany" as in Tiffany & Co :)

I apologise in advance I'm still working on my photography quality, and while i managed to clear out all the noise in the photo the colours seem washed out.  I am open to your tips on taking photos for nail blogs, Fashion Polish is my idol! her photo's are amazing.

Here I have my Tiffany & Co. glasses case for comparison. In real life they were actually pretty close.

Mary Kay Fairytales & Fantasy Collection - Mulberry Forest and Enchanted Mauve

Welcome back!

"This season at Mary Kay, get swept up in the ethereal beauty of a fairytale land and immerse yourself in the mystery of a fantasy world with a striking, modern twist.  The special-edition Fairytales & Fantasy Collection can help you create enchanting looks worthy of a happy ever after"

I have recently purchased the two polishes released as part of Mary Kay's Fairytales & Fantasy collection (Autumn 2014).  Over the regular nail lacquer box is this beautifully designed cover slip of deep violet and lilac with gold trims.  Gorgeous, and I haven't even opened the boxes yet!

Enchanted Mauve

is a gorgeous nude creme, perfect for nail art bases or for when you don't want to scream colour.  This nude has a slight peachy undertone to it.  

Below I have applied two coats of Enchanted Mauve (no top coat) and I could easily have added a third layer to even out the nail, it wasn't an full opaque creme as I was expecting but still did the job in two coats.

Mulberry Forest

is a rich burgundy with gold, bronze shimmer throughout.  As the barometer starts to fall, this is the perfect shade to compliment any glass of red wine in front of a open fire.

I used two coats of Mulberry Forest (no top coat) in the pictures below.  It spread evenly and perfectly with two coats. I tend to be a little heavy handed when I apply my first coat sometimes... I found that one coat completely covered the nail.  So if you are short of time to paint your nails, one coat of this my be enough, but don't forget top coat! (fast drying if you need to run out the door asap!)

- The Review - 

Below I have swatched Wicked, a gorgeous classic red.  I used my own UV curing lamp. Base Coat and Top Coat were also provided by EpicNail.  

Below is after one week of wear.  Besides the usual regrowth these beauties looked just as gorgeous and bright as the first day I painted my nails.
