OPI- Do You Lilac It+ Essie- Carnival

Today I present to you one of my favorite nail polish combinations.  OPI- Do You Lilac It?+ Essie- Carnival on top.  I have probably gotten more compliments on these colors than any of the other 25 colors that I have worn since October.  The formula in Do You Lilac It is A+.  A 1 coater, and just thick enough to work with.  Most importantly, no bubbling!  Carnival is one of the few glitter polishes that Essie has.  It is one of my favorite top coats with just enough glitter to add the slightest bit of sparkle.  All pictures show 2 coats of Do You Lilac It? with two coats of Carnival over top.

Essie Swatches

I'm back and I have lots to show you all! Below are some swatches of my recent Essie purchases.  I used seche vite as a topcoat on all of the polishes:

Essie- Smooth Sailing.

I had been drooling over this polish forever! The color is a lot darker than it looks in the bottle.  It is a dark periwinkle with a very hidden shimmer.  The formula was AMAZING! It's definitely a one-coater, I used 2 coats in the pictures below+ 1 coat seche vite top coat.
