Beauty Tips for Women: Valentine Manicure – Essence Colour & Go Grey-t To Be Here

I would like to share a beauty product review of Essence Colour & Go “Grey-t To Be Here” along with a simple Valentine manicure.

I picked up Grey-t To Be Here at Ulta.  It is a lovely shade of gray with pink shimmer but at times it also seems to have a golden/orange shimmer as well.  Application was easy and I don’t mind the new bottle design.  I think it is a good deal at $1.99 only when you use a Ulta coupon to purchase it.  I feel for the size it is a bit pricey since you can get a full size bottle of polish for the same price.  I think if you are going for a  Fifty Shades of Grey theme this would work wonderfully or if you just love Grey this a wonderful color to add to your collection.

I applied two coats of Grey-t To Be Here then stamped with images from Bundle Monster BM02, BM09, and BM17 using Rimmel English Rose nail polish to achieve a very simple and quick Valentine manicure.

Beauty Tips for Women – French Manicure using French Tip Dip

Who doesn’t love beauty product reviews and if it is about nails even better.  I’m reviewing the French Tip Dip (Signature Deluxe). I love French Manicures but have never been able to do them properly at home. I had come across French Tip Dip and decided to purchase it. The French Tip Dip is described on their site as “Multiple sized tips for quick and easy French manicures and pedicures. Perfect for natural & artificial fingers and toes”.  The service I received was great and the delivery of my kit was fast.

The set comes nicely packed in its own case which is very convenient.  Here is what you get in the Signature Deluxe pack: French Tip Dip tool, a file (100/100), manicure stick, 2 dip jars, Bright White tip polish, Sheer Genius base coat, 3 min. Topcoat and instruction card.

The directions are straightforward and they have videos showing the whole process on their webpage.  It seemed very easy but with everything there is a learning curve. You can’t press down on the nail, rather you kind of glide it over the nail which can take a bit of getting used to. It is suggested to squeeze the tip or even cut it to better fit your nail shape; I overly squeezed the tip trying to get a better fit to the curvature of my nail which ended up giving the french tip more of a “v” shape rather than a rounded one but I don’t mind that.  The process was fast and simple.

I loved their polish, the white was just right and the sheer base coat was amazing.  You apply the sheer base coat after doing the white tip and it does not dull the white at all.

For the cleanup, I poured the polish back into the bottle and wiped up the jar.  I let the polish dry on the tool and just scrapped it off afterwards, which was also one of the recommendations.  I found doing my dominant hand a bit more tricky but that is always the case.

The French manicure came out lovely and I was truly impressed by how easy it was.  Best part is you can use any polish with this product.

I give the French Tip Dip (Signature Deluxe) 5 brains.

Beauty Tips for Women – New Years Eve / New Years Day Manicure

Wanted to share a quick and easy New Years Eve or New Years Day manicure.

Here is a list of the polishes I used to get the look:
Konad – Black
Venique – Golden Age of Beauty
Venique – Base and Top coat
Seche Vite
Ulta – Envy
Sally Hansen – Rapid Red
Sally Hansen – Brisk Blue

For the images, I used Shany stamping plates SH07 for the numbers and SH13 for the fireworks.

I started off with Venique base coat and just one coat of Golden Age of Beauty.  This foil gold polish is amazing.  I added Venique top coat. Then stamped the fireworks in blue, red and green.  Stamped the year in Konad black and topped it off with Seche Vite.

On the thumb I just did a firework burst.  My nails are numbs and I couldn’t fit anything else on it.

Simple and easy to do.  Hope you have a wonderful New Years!
