Essence Circus Confetti layered over MAC Ice Cream Cake (plus an announcement or so)

After some sad news, I needed something happy at least on my nails, so I went for layering Circus Confetti over Ice Cream Cake.

Call it Ice Cream Confetti or Circus Cake – I think it’s a jolly combo. First pic is more authentic.

I won’t be in the mood for posting much within the next weeks or so; I’m occupied with lots of unforseeable things which have occurred during the past few weeks… trying to hopefully get some peace of mind, but don’t worry! There are still some posts on hold, waiting to be published soon.

[MAC] Ice Cream Cake

On a personal note: I’ve been quite busy these days and I know that I’m behind with posting – I did some other swatches and will blog them soon. I am currently writing up my PhD thesis, which is kind of a nightmare… Moreover, we had a guest, one of my best friends, with us for the weekend; I took loads of photos – since we did some nice outings – but accidentally deleted them before having them transferred to my laptop. So sad about these lost memories!)

But back to business. Here is my first experience with MAC nail polishes, Ice Cream Cake from this year’s Quite Cute Collection, pink with a touch of pastel and a crème finish.

I must admit that I’m not that much into MAC polishes, since I do not really like the shape of their bottles and most colours just do not seem of interest to me. But as for Ice Cream Cake, I could no longer resist. It is not unique, but so girlish and princess-like and cute at the same time. Application turned out to be good; as for the first coat I had too much polish on the brush but afterwards it worked very well… this is two coats. Please excuse the bump on the middle finger; I was wearing a glitter polish before.
