Essence TE Vampire's Love Nail Polish 01 Gold Old Buffy

This week I was very excited when I came across almost a fully loaded make up stand of Essence's TE Vampire's Love, however, the only two things that looked interesting enough for me to buy were a nail polish in a shade 01 Gold Old Buffy and the eye shadow palette named 01 Love At First Bite. Maybe I'll get some other stuff when I see swatches on other blogs.

I've put the nail polish on as soon as I came home but I had to wait a day for the sun to come out so I could take decent pictures, hence the tip wear.

It's a dark brownish gray base with golden glitter. It looks more gray in the real life than it does in the pictures. I've used two coats of Gold Old Buffy, no top coat. The application was nice, drying time too.

Getting blisters

Yesterday while I was writing a post about my this week's shopping experience my browser just froze and nothing I wrote got saved. As I'm a bit upset about it and don't really feel like writing the whole thing again I'l just keep it short and show you a couple of pictures.

1 H&M dress: 14,95€
2 H&M belt: 7,95€
3 H&M ring: 4,95€
4 no name shoes: 14,95€

During those few days shopping me and my friend both got a few blisters, but we'll live. At least we finally got some stuff we were looking for for a while. Though it would be nice if more stuff was on sale (yeah right, like that ever happens to me). :P

5 Calzedonia bikini: 35,00€ (upper) + 15,00€ (bottom) = 50,00€ - 50% = 25,00€
6 lemon-grass essential oil
7 Essence nail polish - Style For Summernights (from TE Nails In Style)

8 Orsay flip-flops: 7,95€ - 30% = 5,57

I took Cristina's advice (thank you honey :*) and bought lemon-grass essential oil. Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope it works. If you don't know what I'm talking about check out my previous post.

Catrice - Let's Mauve On! (old version)

Why do they keep doing this? Replacing the existing shades with new ones but still keeping the old names, like it's so hard to come up with new names or at least put a different number next to it. I did a little research before writing this post and found out that the shade of Let's Mauve On!'s been changed. I seems to me that the new version is darker, has a more metallic finish to it and according to fellow bloggers it's application is a bit trickier so I'm sticking with my old version. :)

The application didn't give me any problems. I used 2 coats and the visible nail line is still there. It would probably take three to four thin coats to cover it up completely. 

I apologize for the pictures not being the best quality but just to let you know I really do try to make them as good as I can. I'm still learning. :)
