Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low nail polish is a beautiful, sparkling silver hue from the Winter 2015 nail polish collection. This fabulous silver nail polish is easy to wear and extremely festive; after all, the winter season includes the holiday season! One must be festive 😉

One of the big trends in nail polish for the fall and winter seasons is metallic nail polish. Metallic hues are being show in all forms of traditional metal including gold, silver, pewter and rose gold. Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low is ideal for the winter and holiday seasons since the silver color works perfectly with winter pastels, while adding sparkle to the seasons’ neutral color palettes. 

I tested out Essie’s Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish turned out to be very strong! It lasted eight days before I received one chip. Love that!

In addition to being a fabulous nail polish color for the winter and holiday seasons, Essie’s Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low is a great neutral hue which can be worn during any season of the year. This makes it an ideal color to add to ones’ nail polish wardrobe. It’s neutral and it sparkles, what else can you ask for?

Christian Louboutin Farida nail polish review

Christian Louboutin Farida is a beautiful, sparkling brown nail polish from the Christian Louboutin “Noirs” nail polish collection. Brown is a nail polish color I do not normally purchase, but, Farida by Christian Louboutin is a brown hue which seemed un-brown to me; if that makes any sense!

Brown, to me, is a neutral hue which is used to make other colors seem richer. As a nail polish, the thought of brown never really peaked my interest until I spotted Farida in Christian Louboutin’s nail polish collection. This fabulous brown hue sparkles; in such a way that is seems as though it is a color, not just a fall neutral. Love that! Christian Louboutin Farida seems jewel-like to me, and I love anything that sparkles or suggests bling!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Farida nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish is extremely long lasting and lasted eight days without chipping! The only reason I took off the nail polish on day eight was due to the fact that my nails grew and I had a space between my cuticles and the paint; and that bothers me.

One of the things I love about Christian Louboutin nail polish is the fact that is it free from the five nasty chemicals found in many other nail polish brands. Knowing Christian Louboutin nail polish is safe and natural, makes it seem even more luxurious. My only complaint is the length of the stiletto-inspired brush. It is a little bit too long and unbalanced which makes it a little bit challenging to apply the nail polish. That being said, once Christian Louboutin’s nail polish is applied, it is long lasting and the color saturation is exquisite.

I am in love with Christian Louboutin Farida nail polish and look forward to wearing it throughout the fall season. You can find Christian Louboutin nail polish online here and here.
