Essie - Going Incognito (Winter Collection 2010) in memory of those we have lost in the MH17 crash

This last post before my nails go on holiday, I felt I needed to do something in memory of all the people who died in the MH17 crash.

It has been a devastating two weeks here in The Netherlands: the caskets being brought back by those huge freight planes and the hours of unloading them were surreal to watch. As was the long procession of up to 71 hearses that had to bring the victims to the identification site. They went from Airport Eindhoven to Hilversum in a 1,5 hour drive, the last part of it is trough a densely forested area wich was beautiful and peaceful in a way: most of them finally came home...

They came back home, incognito and through the green forest.

Thus Essie Going Incognito came to mind.

Essie - going incognito

This was two very easy coats of forest green creme.
It's more for autumn and winter but very fitting for the occasion.




My nails and I are going on a polish less holiday, I have 12 polishes I still haven't put up so I will show those to you in the following weeks!

Have a very nice and happy holiday!

Essie - Masquerade Belle from the Going Incognito 2010 winter collection

I needed something chic, classic and elegant.....Essie Masquerade Belle gave me just that!
It is a lovely dark wine red jelly that gives you a beautiful dark red nail in 2 coats.
It is perfect I think; the jelly give it that nice squishyness and shine. The colour is not too red, not too brown and definately not too blue based.

And then to think that it was kind of forgotten in the back of my Essie drawer (shame on me)!

The wear time was excellent as well (I used Essie Good to Go as top coat), I wore it 5 days without any major chipping! These dark jellies are awesome but in the winter collections of this year there are none that I know of :-(
Perhaps I should check out the back of my polish drawers?!
