Review: Essie Spring Collection

Shade: TOUR DE FINANCE

Get ready to rock your spring colors now for the winter season. Essie spring collection is filled with a variety of gorgeous shades and the lasting quality is 100%.

My first taste of their new collection goes strong for TOUR DE FINANCE because it’s that pink that’s to die for.

I added a bit of drama to my nail routine just so the statement of the pink grabbed your attention right away. Two amazing coats of this shade and you’re  good. The color is so feminine and powerful the fact that it lacks the shimmer is forgivable.

The spring collection features great colors from bold brights to soft pastels Navigate Her, A Crewed  Interest, To Buy Or Not To  Buy,  Ole Caliente and Orange,  It’s Obvious! The cost is $8 and you will be very happy with the product for sure. I am new to the Essie brand and it’s on my best polish “IT” list so far.

The new spring collection hits stores in February and check back for a review on shade To Buy Or Not To Buy a gorgeous lilac.

 

 

Special thanks to Diana B. at blue sky pr for the samples, I am loving this brand and spring collection!

Event: Inside My Birthday Party

Chastity’s B-Day Party VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

 

 

 

Special thanks to those that attended my birthday party last weekend in Hoboken, NJ it was such a huge success even though it DID decide to snow the night prior! Everything was amazing from beginning to end, I think I topped this year off with a bang so for my next birthday expect more FABULOUS!

I was able to socialize this time around instead of the usual running and doing all the event planning and major detailing that comes with putting together a party.  And I must say it was so enjoyable and fun just letting others take over,  I need to do this more often.  To bring on the fun I did have two dresses to rock,  it wasn’t planned until the last minute.  I bought two dresses and couldn’t decide which one was going to be “IT”  so I was going to pull a Kim Kardashian and at least rock two different styles for the start and finish of the night.  Totally forgot to change my earrings and handbag with all the confusion but at the end it really didn’t matter.  For the beauty and fashion bloggers, regular subscribers and readers of the blog check back Monday for the inside scoop on both styles.

With all that said here is a video thank you to those that came out and video footage of the party. Thanks to all for sending your pics for the video, hope you enjoy!
