Glitter sandwich?

Hey girls! Quick post before I get ready to leave the house. I'm going to my friend's house to learn mahjong today! All the exciting things to do before school starts next week. Anyway, today I have Essence Black Is Back with the Orly Ridiculously Regal on top. It didn't look as outstanding as I hoped it would look but perhaps if I painted another coat of the glitter the pink might pop out more against the black? 

What do you think? I don't think I pull off black particularly well though :( I always love seeing pretty glitters but I'm not completely sure on the best look to pull them off! Anyway, thanks for reading!

Polish Haul Saturday #11

Hey ladies! This specific Polish Haul Saturday post was probably due two weeks ago but due to unforeseen circumstances, it's only being posted now. Well, I think better late than never! Let's get started.

Okay, I scraped this week's photo of all the bottles together because the lighting and colour accuracy was all bad. So I'm just going to go through the close-ups!

First up is Essence Quick Dry Topcoat. I figured I was overly dependent on my Seche Vite and ought to try other brands and I've heard good things about Essence.

Next, I have Essence Black Is Back.

And I finally own a decent base coat! Essence Studio Nails 24/7 Nail Base. FYI, I haven't been using much base coat when I paint my nails. My nails are naturally thin so I don't feel like they've really been affected by the lack of regular use of base coat.

Last but not least, Nicole by OPI Honey Dew You Love Me. I can never resist a pretty glitter!! Can't wait to try this on out!

And that's all I have for today! Thanks for stopping by :)
