NOTD: Essie Lady Like & OPI Only Gold For Me

Posted on October 12, 2011 by MissJenFabulous

Something about this manicure makes me feel like my nails look expensive :) Keep reading for more pics!

Essie-Lady Like is from their “Brand New Bag Collection”. It took two coats and it was opaque. It wasn’t one of their thin formulas. I think Essie is getting better and better with their neutral polish formulas. I haven’t come across a thin streaky one in a long time! Yay!

I love this taupe color paired with the gold glitter. I cant stop looking at my nails :)

What do you think of this color?! Have you purchased any new Essie polishes lately? I would love some recommendations!

I love Essie’s wicked! It looks brown but it’s a deep deep red, perfect color for Halloween/bloody nails :)

I have almost all of the colors from the fall collection! Carry on is the prettiest deep burgundy color and you barelyyy need two coats. I love lady like! I put a shimmery pink glitter on my bling ring finger ;)

A very lovely shade :)
Sadly I can´t get my hands on Essie nail polishes here in Finland :(
Btw, can you buy nail polishes by a brand called Snowcrystals over where you live?
I think you would really love the selection of shades they have :)

I have Carry On, Power Clutch and Very Structured from the new fall collection and I have to say I was really disappointed in Very Structured. On the Essie website it said it was a burnt sienna/orange color but when I picked it up it was CLEARLY brown. :( It made me sad. I love Carry On though, it’s what I have on my nails right now.

Lady like looks so pretty on your nails! For some reason they look lavender on my nails. People are always like, ” I love that lavender color on your nails” I really wish they were a more nudish pink on my nails.

I gave myself this manicure tonight (only I went crazy and painted Only Gold For Me on all my fingers) and I’m crazy about it! I already had Lady Like in my collection and I was so excited to see your inspiration for a fun way to add a little sparkle and shine to the otherwise fairly neutral polish. I have a feeling this is going to become a favorite!

I love how lady like look on you! I wanted it but it looks so similar to demure vixen (which I have) but dv may hav some purply-pink shimmer t it that lady like doesn’t have. Do you think it’s worth it to own Lady Like too? I am waiting for my bobbing for baubles-it’s the only one I ordered from this collection

  i dont have dv..really the only diff is this one is creme no shimmer..i say its probably not worth it to have both.

Do you have OPI Tickle My Francy? If so, how does it compare to Lady Like? Are they pretty different? I really love Essie Splash of Grenadine lately:)
