Yes, I know that Valentine’s Day was yesterday but as I do not upload on Tuesdays you’ll have to read the post about my Valentine’s Day nails today… Actually, just think of it as a very early post in preparation for next year 😉
As you will know by now, if you have read my blog before, I am a pretty huge Essence fan. I have loads of their makeup and I also have quite a lot of their nail polish. I love having my nails painted but I am not the biggest fan of the cutting, filing and mess that comes with it.
For my Valentine’s Day nails, I decided to use 2 of the newest colours in my collection. I chose the shades 52 – Amazed by You and 48 – My Love Diary. I got My Love Diary in my Essence Advent calendar and I got Amazed by You from my mum for Christmas. After painting my nails, I painted them with the top coat. I used the Quick Dry Top Coat from Essence as well as the Essence Express Dry Drops.
I love the Essence nail polishes as they all have very good colour and stay on quite well. My nails are still passable even though I painted them 3 days ago. Okay, so technically they weren’t just for Valentine’s Day but I went with the timing! Let’s also just ignore how short and stubby my fingers are…thanks ha!
What nails were you rocking for Valentine’s Day? Which nail polish brands would you recommend? Let me know in the comments below!

I love, love, love Essence’s nail polishes! They are cruelty-free and so budget-friendly. I have never used the Express Dry Drops before, is it any good? I use The Gel Base Coat and Top Coat.
The drops are really good! Makes your nails dry a whole lot faster!
