Essie Ready to Boa nail polish for the winter

Essie Ready to Boa nail polish is the prettiest burgundy hue I have ever seen! There is a slight sparkle in the polish, and the color is not too light, and not too dark; it is pure perfection! I need to fling a boa over my shoulder, and I need to display the “Ole!” emoticon to fully convey how fabulous this color is!

I tend to shy away from red nail polish colors, but this burgundy hue is so pretty; I want to wear it forever! It is so festive and perfect for the holiday season; plus it is a classic, wintry color which is great for the entire cold weather season. Love!

Ready to Boa by Essie is from Essie’s winter collection which consists of six colors perfect for the season. Essie Ready to Boa nail polish is a great, classic hue which can be worn right now, as well as next year during the fall and winter seasons. It is a great nail polish wardrobe staple. Love that!

For testing purposes, I wore Essie Ready to Boa nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. I did not use a top coat. The polish lasted a full week with one chip on my right hand; I think the chip happened when I was cleaning the kitchen without wearing my gloves. It was a small chip, so it didn’t bother me.

Essie Ready to Boa is a beautiful burgundy nail polish. You can find it online here. If you have a nail polish fan on your holiday shopping list, check out this cute box set of Essie’s winter collection online here.

Thanks for stopping by!

I am hooked on Diorific nail polish! Golden by Dior from the Diorific nail polish collection, is a limited edition, sparkling gold nail color perfect for celebrating the holiday season.

Diorific Golden nail polish is a soft, sparkling gold color which is easy to wear with any color metal jewelry. The gold is a soft hue which blends well with silver, rose gold, and of course, yellow gold metals. This makes Golden by Dior perfect to wear not only during the holiday season, but throughout the winter season, and into spring; where metallic hues are an important fashion trend.

Dior nail polish is long lasting, and applies evenly. I tested Diorific Golden nail polish out with one base coat, and two coats of color. I ran out of my top coat, so no top coat! Without the top coat, Diorific Golden lasted a full week without chipping! My nails grew, which is why I took off the polish. Love that!

The holiday nail polish collection by Dior is flying off the shelves, and it is limited edition. If you love this color, you can find Diorific Golden nail polish in stock online here, and online here.

Happy holidays, and stay sparkly 😉


Alexander McQueen eau de parfum review

Alexander McQueen eau de parfum is a beautiful, floral fragrance made in France. The floral mix of fragrance notes features a timeless combination which is subtle, and easy to wear on a daily basis. This could easily become your signature fragrance!

I tested out Alexander McQueen edp by first spraying it on around 7am. The scent was soft yet complex. Due to the high quality ingredients in Alexander McQueen eau de parfum, the fragrance lasted throughout the day, and well into the night. It is always fabulous when you don’t have to reapply a perfume during the day. Love that!

Alexander McQueen eau de parfum is a combination of Sambac Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang. The combination of these three florals offers a vintage, timeless fragrance experience which is easy to wear to the office, in tight quarters such as the theater, and for casual weekend activities. Since it is such a classic scent, Alexander McQueen eau de parfum can be worn for any style of occasion from a casual weekend picnic to a formal gala event.

This has turned out to be my new go-to fragrance for the winter season. I rate Alexander McQueen eau de parfum five out of five stars! Love!
