Essie: Mint Candy Apple nails %

As you know I am loving anything in the colour mint at the moment so this was something that I just HAD to add to my nail polish collection....

Yep we are talking MINT nail polish!

I think Essie's Mint Candy Apple is the perfect shade for spring 2012 or just imagine it on feet with sand between your toes, while on the beach..... oh yeah baby bring on summer :)This could have been just my bottle but the formula of Mint Candy Apple was a little thick for me which made application a bit tricky. You definitely need 2-3 coats for smooth/opaque cover.

Oh and my lovely flattie also got me a little gift from her recent holiday trip to Dubai.... .....in the form of a mini mint nail polish from Sephora....oh she knows me SO well :)

Teeny Bikini nail polish by Sephora (link) is a lovely mint shade. 

It's a little more green than Essie's Mint Candy Apple. 

It has a great, non-streaky formula and the mini size makes it super easy to just pop into your handbag for a quick mint fix anytime, anywhere :) xoxo

Apricot Souffle %

Whilst browsing the shops in the city a few weeks back, I found out that they have a small Sephora shop based in one of NL's department chain stores. I absolutely LOVE Sephora in the States because it's just like a little heaven for a cosmetics addict like me ;) Anyways the Sephora department here in The Hague is pretty small but still sells their own brand Sephora, Benefit & Too Faced which is fabulous. 
Of course I couldn't resist a little purchase so I got the Sephora Super Shimmer Lipgloss in "Apricot Soufflé".

I have been wearing this gloss most days on my holiday and just love it! 
It's a perfect natural, slightly peachy pink lip gloss with multi-holographic shimmers & a yummy apricot taste. 

Think I might  have to check out what other colours they have in this lip gloss. Any recommendations?
