Essence - #116 Gorgeous Bling Bling

Hey there!  Long time, no read!

I apologize for missing in action.  I will explain at the end of this post, but first I have a simple work mani to show you, a nice terracotta with gold flakies from Essence.  This one is called Gorgeous Bling Bling.... below is two easy coats.  I thought this was a nice polish, it stood out in a sea of reds, pinks and neutral nail polishes, yet, is tasteful/respectful.



I got my 8 ml bottle for $1.99 at Ulta.

My husband's mother passed away, in her home, and on her own terms on November 16th. I wasn't going to say anything but decided maybe I should since she let me do a post on her nails last year.  So we travelled down to Florida for her funeral and my husband and I stayed down there for Thanksgiving as well.  Needless to say, I was on the road for two and half days and had spotty internet along with a hectic schedule so... that is where I have been.  Although we are all saddened by her death she is in a better place. 

Well, that is it for now.  Thanks for stopping by.

    This polish wouldn't have catched my eye, but it does look great on you! Quite classy for this kind of color, somehow different from other work-safe manicures! :)

  4. Interesting colour- I don't have anything in the terracotta range, now that I think of it.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law... what a difficult situation. It sounds as though she had some challenging health issues. As you mentioned, at least she is at peace now. My condolences to you and your family during a tough time!
