Secret Shimmer

January 26th, 2012 by Karen 8 Comments


At first glance Essie’s To Buy or Not To Buy looks like a cream ($8, one of six shades in the new spring 2012 Navigate Her collection), but if you look closely you can see tiny bits of glitter. Love that secret shimmer!

    I love this color, I have it on my nails right now! I almost didn’t order it but I noticed the secret shimmer and I’m glad I brought it home. The color is very pretty on, though the shimmer is a little less evident when the polish is on. Your photo makes me love it more!

    Oooo cute! I wonder how it translates onto nails. Definitely has a lot of potential!

    I’m not much of a shimmer girl, but if it’s as subtle as you (and Sarah) say, it might be worth a try.

    Hmmm…I’m not quite sold. I think I’d need to see it on. 😛

    Pretty! I call them hidden shimmer, but secret shimmer sounds way cuter!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my three-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my kitty supermodel cat (Tabs).
