Essie Naughty Nautical French Mani

You could see a sneak peek of my nails for our meeting in my yesterday's post, but I wanted to dedicate a separate post for the nails, so here it is!

I've already done drag marble nails and gradient nails for our meetings, so this time I wanted to do (again) something different. I rarely do french manis anyhow and I've been wanting to do them for a while, so I decided to do a french mani using Essie Naughty Nautical and Lumene Losing You. First I applied two coat of Lumene Losing You, then I did the french tips with Essie Naughty Nautical using only the brush of the polish and free hand. After that I used a make-up sponge to apply the smaller glitters. Actually I used two different polishes for the glitters: Color Club Beyond The Mistletoe and a-england Merlin. On top of those glitters I also placed some round glitters that I got from Born Pretty Store (you can read my full review on those here). And then I finished the mani with some water decals.

I really liked this mani and how it turned out, I just wish I had remembered to take the picture before all the cleaning and washing and all because it isn't the most fresh one here anymore... But at least now I realized that I should really do more french manis!

I also loved the bright color of Essie Naughty Nautical, I should really wear it as a full mani too, it is a really pretty color! However, I have bought this one from Ebay and it has the smaller brush and I do not like to paint my whole nails with that... But this seemed to behave quite nicely, so maybe I can manage the brush... (If you don't know what I'm talking about with these brushes, you can read about it at the end of this post).

Color Club Beyond the Mistletoe & Cold Metal

Today I have two pretty Color Clubs for you, both are from recent collections. I wanted to see how these two would work together, and I think it is a pretty combo, but perhaps I need to wear Beyond the Mistletoe by itself soon too.

So this is one coat(!) of Cold Metal with two coats of Beyond the Mistletoe on top and of course some top coat to make it smooth. Beyond the Mistletoe is really pretty and suitable for the Holidays, but then again I'm generally quite easy to please with holographic glitter... And like I said, I really thought these two worked nicely together too.

Here's a pic of Cold Metal by itself:
I have to say that I really liked this one too. This is actually the only polish that I got from Color Clubs Foiled collection (so far), because it was the only one that seemed unique. At least I don't have any blues like this in my stash and it's also very nice quality: easy to handle, opaque with just one coat and deeply colored for a foil. Then again, I only have just few blue polishes, so I'm not really one to say... But for my surprise, I quite liked this and I thought it even looked good on me.
