Festive 4th Nails

Feeling the spirit of the Holiday Weekend.

I really love Essie's nail polish formula.  It is just so easy to work with and they jelly cream finish of so many of their polishes is just a favorite of mine.  I thought this konadicure turned out pretty snazzy :)

Chanel Mimosa w/ Lippmann Boom Boom Pow

I really loved the way this turned out!  Mimosa wasn't a dream to work with but it wasn't the nightmare I've seen it touted to be on other blogs.  I absolutely adore the color, it is unlike any yellow I have.  The subtle shimmer is glorious in the bottle and doesn't translate to the nail as shimmer but it has that oomph that keeps it from looking like a dead cream on the nail.  I wore Mimosa on its own for a few days then got kinda bored and I wanted some sparkle, so I added the Boom Boom Pow.  This is 3 coats of Mimosa & 2 coats Boom Boom Pow.  I really like the end result :)
