Essie Summer Collection 2012 Review

First off,I just wanna say I'm obsessed with these nail polishes. I'm just so in love with the colors! I was so excited when I saw a set of minis at Ulta when I was at the beach. When I got home I immediately put on Bikini So Teeny. This color is so cool and totally deserves all the hype. I adore it.

You can see all the colors in the picture above,but the colors I have are Bikini So Teeny,Off The Shoulder,Fear or Desire,and Mojito Madness. Fear or Desire is a hot orange color,Off The Shoulder is a bright,pretty,Barbie pink,and Mojito Madness is a dark mint color. I already have a review of Bikini So Teeny here.

All for are totally gorgeous and every girl needs them in their summer collection. They're $8 and you can purchase them at Ulta,or wherever Essie is sold. I don't have swatch pictures,but if you go on Google Image there's hundreds of pictures of them!

What color do you like the most? :)

Time to Tone: At Home Exercises

I don't know about you,but now that summer's full in gear I don't have time to go to the gym. During school,I went to gym everyday and I also ran track,which was everyday from the end of February to the middle of May. Today's post will tell you moves you can do from your house .


1.This first move helps with your shoulders,upper legs,triceps,hips,and love handles.
A.Prop your side up on the forearm,elbow under shoulder,palm spread,and legs stacked.
B.Raise hip off floor by pushing through the forearm. Lower your back but don't rest,and push your hip back up towards ceiling. Do 20 of these on each side.

2.This move works your lower and upper abs.
A.Lay on your back,lift your knees to an angle of 90 degrees and put your hands behind your head.
B.While rotating your hips,push your belly button into your spine,lift shoulders off floor and bring knees towards the chest. While your torso lowers to the floor your legs will extend outward. Your shins should be parallel to the floor and extend your legs out just when the back arches. Do 20 of these.

3.This last move targets the hips.
A.Put your feet together and bend into a slight squat. To help your arms,keep them in a boxing position.
B.Press one leg back diagonally but keep the support leg in a small squat. Bring it back to the starting position and do 30 of these on each side.


After you tone with this workout,it's best to get your heart pumping with around 20 minutes of cardio. Hope this helps! :)

NOTD-Essie's Bikini So Teeny

Hey everyone! I just wanted to do a quickie post because I'm excited about my new manicure! When I was at the beach I picked up four of Essie's new summer collection nail polishes. Bikini So Teeny,Mojito Madness,Off The Shoulder,and Fear or Desire. Yesterday I painted my nails with Bikini So Teeny,and I fell in love! It's a light baby blue and it just looks really fun and summery on the nails.

In the bottle,I noticed a slight shimmer,but I don't on my nails. It's defiantly not matte,but there's no shimmer.

Anyway,I love this new mani! It's so fun! :)

Have you tried this polish? :)
