About Me

My photo
I’m 21 and a senior in college! I attend a school that’s in Indiana, but I’m originally from Missouri. My original purpose for this blog, when I was 18, was to share beauty tips and reviews, but as soon as I started blogging I began including other things as well like product reviews for items that I planned to take to college. Then I actually started college and pretty much lost track of the blog. Now that a few years have passed, I hope to begin blogging again but with new ideas in mind. Because of this, I’m thinking about changing the name of the blog, but I have yet to decide on a new name. Some of the new things I plan on discussing involve college and how to practice effective time management skills, how to get things organized, classes, health, and fitness.

Essie Ballet Slippers NailPolish


Essie Ballet Slippers Nail Polish

I have to start out by saying that I've never used an Essie nail polish before I tried this color today. I've really wanted to try this color out for about a week, which isn't really that long I know but I was so excited to try this that as soon as I got home I painted my left thumb nail just to see if would be the color I expected. I have to say I really like this color and after I painted all my nails I realized why it's called ballet slippers since the color is just such a light pink- like ballet slippers. The first coat you put on is actually almost pale, you really have to do two coats to get the actual ballet slippers color. Well I did because of my skin tone, if you're lighter than you might be able to get away with only one coat. The picture that I'm going to post below of it on my fingers will be a little rough and it's because it's just the color, two coats, with no topcoat because I really just wanted to see what it would look like and I'll have to redo it so it looks a little better. You can see though, what the color will look like and judge for yourself if you'll like it. This is probably a color for the end of summer and some people might want to use into fall because it's really neutral in a bright way and so if you're wearing a lot of darker clothing shades in fall/winter this might be a way to brighten everything up.

    I think it was $7.99 but the lady that works at the cosmetics counter had some I guess manufacturer coupons that took $1 off, which isn't really a lot but I do really like this color. Although, the brush for Essie polishes is kind of small compared to O.P.I.
