Here is my last currently wearing which is for my currently wearing week. I have got lots still to post and I still want to keep posting. I might do a month where I post everyday. I should probably think about that, but you will soon see.

 

This is Essie Bon Boy Age, now I absolutely love this. I picked this up from fragrance direct which I might do another haul again because I love buying my essies from there. This is such a gorgeous shade and I absolutely love this one. This is a two coater, I reckon it could potentially be a one coater over time. I think this will be one of my favourite polishes in 2019, I can't wait to wear more essies because it is slowly becoming my favourite brand.

Here is another currently wearing, I am trying to get these posted. But I promise I will do a currently wearing week. I know I have been slacking with posts. But I will be back.

 

Now I think this is a nail fail, I thought this was rubbish if I am honest.
I copied a picture that I found on Google and it was an absolute fail, I tried my hardest but it just didn't work out. I am disappointed but I suppose this didn't really matter.
I am wearing Essie Perfect Posture, I love this polish. This took 2/3 coats. I really need more gel couture's so I will go and try some more of these polishes of the ones I have tried I have absolutely loved. So despite my nail fail, the polish was absolutely gorgeous.

This was a flower nail art challenge which I did back in May, this is Glam Nails Challenge. I love doing these. I absolutely love floral nails so I was so excited when I took part in these.

 

Here is my first nail art for the glam nails challenge. This is sunflowers. I know its silly but I am so proud of myself with these, I always doubt myself when it comes to nail art. I always think I'm either really bad or just average. I am using Essie Let It Glow, this is such a gorgeous polish. I was actually surprised how much I loved this polish. These sort of shades aren't my sort of thing, so I was shocked that I really liked this. It also comes across quite a matte formula, which I again surprisingly I liked.

Here is another Glam Nails challenge, this is penguins.

 

Here is Essie Virgin Snow, this is such a beautiful polish. I have such a love for Essie polishes, I know people don't like the brushes but I have no problem with them. So these penguins may look strange, I have no idea what happened to the one next to my pinky. This didn't look great so don't judge mr penguin okay guys. I was inspired by a picture that I found on Google. I really can't remember the name of that person at all.

Here is another currently wearing, this is Gingerbread nails. Please excuse my foot and the awful photo. This is what happens when you do a nail challenge and basically forget to take the pictures.

This is Essie Masterplan, this was possibly one of my favourite essie's I have worn this year. I am so impressed with my gingerbread too. It looks so cute. I am not the best at faces, but with this one I worked out really well. Don't you just love it when something works out well for once.

Here is another currently wearing, lets see what the polish is.

This is Essie Wicked, this was another colour of the month. I am quite annoyed because I really wanted to do all 12 but I couldn't pick up two of them. But I am sure I will try and pick up the December's colour of the month in the new year. This isn't a colour I would ever gravitate towards, this is very dark for me. It is quite a vampy polish. I did find it quite hard to use because this bottle hand the small brush which wasn't great too use.

So I am slightly annoyed with myself because I got some of this round the wrong way. But it was only the collabs that should be swapped and sinful colours should have been before this. But it doesn't matter haha.

 

So here is Essie Exposed, this was Essie's colour of the month. Isn't this absolutely beautiful, I am obsessed with this colour because green is just the best. This was from the autumn collection that did so well and a few were put into the core collection. I really love this so much. I am sure that this one will be worn again with some nail art. I love love love it.

Here is another currently wearing, this is called the currently wearing month. This is what happens when you are so behind on it and want to get Halloween manis up.

This is Essie Sunday Funday, this was August's colour of the month. I did two coats but I probably could of got away with one. This polish is a gorgeous pink/coral and has a lovely silver shimmer running through it. I loved it, you can actually see it in the bottle. Essie have been one of my favourite brands this year. I have loved so many of their polishes. Also this polish makes your skin pop and looks fantastic on any skintone.

Here is another currently wearing, this was the Essie colour of the month for July.

 

             
This is Essie Watermelon, this is a beautiful bright pink red. It is absolutely gorgeous. This took 1-2 coats. This is such a juicy pink, I don't wear many pinks just because it isn't a colour I usually tend to gravitate to. I have changed up the picture because the others turned out so blurry for some reason.

I feel like I have been pretty distant with blogging, but I haven't been. I am not particularly sure why it feels like that.

 

I am wearing Essie Fiji, I have worn this already before but I had two bottles of it so it counts as an untried lol. This was Essie's colour of the month for May. This is such a nice polish, I haven't actually been that keen on light pinks before. I paired it with a Miss Sporty glitter and I love it. I am so gutted that I couldn't get a second bottle of this before Miss Sporty weren't on the shelves anymore.

This might be up there with one of my favourite nail arts I have done in 2018.

 

This prompt was insects, I had a huge list of insects to chose from, in the end I chose a dragonfly. I used Essie Lilacism, this was April's colour of the month. I absolutely love this look, I think it is one of  my favourite nail art I have actually done. I was inspired by Glamournailart and I loved doing this. I think I will be doing some more insect nail art again.

As you can tell, I am slightly behind when it comes to my currently wearings. But I am getting them prepared. So you shouldn't have to wait to long for me to be officially up to date ha-ha.

 

The prompt for this was blooming flowers. I hadn't got much of an idea for this one so I kind of waited for people to post their designs and then I had an idea of what it was. Google also wasn't much help. I am wearing Essie Chinchilly, which was Essie's color the month which is absolutely beautiful. I think this is up there with one of my favourite Essie's. I used a red for a cute little flower on the cuticle, I wasn't too sure if it looked like a flower but it did. I am a huge fan of how this came out.

This is Essie's colour of the month. On the first of every month, Essie will post there colour of the month. I decided I would take part in this every month, even though I don't have most of the classic Essie's I will have to buy them. This is one of them that I had to buy.

 

This is Essie Topless & Barefoot. This took 2/3 coats to apply. I have to be honest, this isn't a colour I would usually wear. I don't like nudes, I mean this one looks nice. But that's about it, I am not a fan of it. I think it does look good on my nails and I have got used to it as well being on my nails. This applied really well too. I think I will have to branch out and try and wear more nude polishes in the future.

This is one of my favourite nail polishes of 2017, I absolutely loved it. I am so happy with how amazing this is.

 

This is Essie Jade To Measure, I am so in love with this polish. It is so different as well because Essie don't usually do green like this, but this is incredible. This is from the gel couture line and I cannot wait to try more because I love it so much. This took 2 coats and it was fully opaque.

I am still going through my Glam Nail Challenge, this seems to be taking forever.

The prompt for this challenge was Mandala, I know there are so many tricky nail art designs for this. But I am sure this is because they have stamping plates and that I don't have. So I found this really cool dotticure design on Google and that's what I did with this one. The base is Essie Fiji. I know this is a really popular polish and I can see why, I am not a fan of baby pinks. But I liked this one. It took 2 coats. I used mainly all Nails Inc and then one BarryM polish. I just basically placed them wherever I wanted, I thought it looked really good. I thoroughly enjoyed this nail art design. What do you think?

I am still slightly behind when it comes to the Halloween challenge. But I completely forgot about posting, what a bad blogger I really am.

 

The prompt for Clairestelle8 Halloween challenge was witches. This is so cool, I was inspired by someone on instagram. I actually went to a wedding this day so I kind of didn't want to go too over the top. But I really love this look. I used Essie Warm & Toasty Turtleneck, this may be one of my favourite nail polishes I have used this year. This is a really creamy nail polish and I used two coats. I absolutely love my little witches boots they look really cute.

This is a special nail art edition. It was an honour to be able to recreate someone's nail art.
 

I actually recreated Ane_li's nail art, she was such a talent in the nail art community. She was incredible and sadly passed away last month. A lot of us on instagram decided we would recreate one of her many amazing nail arts, I decided I would do this one. I used Essie Haute In The Heat, this is a beautiful bright pink nail polish. I have to say I'm not so great on my nail art designs, but this one went pretty well. The hearts on the other fingers are basically the hearts flying away.  The one disappoint on this polish is that its not so great, it chipped after less than 24 hours. Essie is a hit and miss nail polish.

Here is another currently wearing, lets see what the polish I have been using on my nails.

I have Essie Bikini So Teeny, why oh why has it taken me so long to wear this. It has been so long since I bought this, possibly last year actually. This is such a beautiful nail polish. It is such a shame that you don't get much of the silver shimmer running through it actually on your nail which really annoys me because I want to have it on my nails. I really am impressed, I know sometimes Essie hasn't got the greatest of formulas, but oh I love this one.

I don't want to introduce this post because I may talk about this so much.

 

I did this for St Patrick's Day. I used Models Own - Emerald Green, this is possibly my favourite nail polishes ever. I just love this nail polish. If I only needed one nail polish in my life, I would happily have this one forever. That is saying something because I have over 600+ nail polishes. But I do love green nail polishes, my all time favourite colours. I just love the shimmer running through it. I have used Essie - Summit Of Style. I tried to make this opaque, it eventually went to three coats. There was a few bald spots but you wouldn't notice it, so that was fine.

It is currently wearing time once again. I am just finally getting round to being up date with the really. I was going to do monthly favourites but there is really no point as I only paint my nails once a week.

This is Essie - Sew Psyched. This is such a beautiful nail polishes. I know that sometimes Essie nail polishes can be hit and miss. But this is a lovely green nail polish, its more like a khaki green with a hint of gold shimmer running through it in the bottle and that actually shows up. I had two coats of this and I love it. I am so glad I got this one and may need to go and use more of my Essie nail polishes.
