Breaking Dawn Nails

With the opening of Breaking Dawn part 2 I thought posting these, nails I did on my friend, would be appropriate. She is heading to the movie opening night. So I begged her to let me do themed nails. After a couple trial and errs, I am happy with the outcome.

 

 

Essence Breaking Dawn Polish Swatches

I was given a heads up about the essence Breaking Dawn makeup from a fellow instagram. I immediately set out to find the polishes. I was told that Fred Meyer was carrying these. I went from one Feddies to another to get the whole collection. My friend even stopped at her local store to grab the last one I needed in the set. Bless her.
Ulta sold this collection also but from what I hear they sold out early. But, I have only been to my local Ulta. So, it wont hurt to look.
All swatches are two coats.

e.l.f. Nail Polish Cube - 14 pc Swatches

I know I don't usually do swatches. But, for this price and beauty, I had to share!
For Swatch and review for the 2013 Spring Cube CLICK HERE!!!

This is the new e.l.f. Holiday Collection. I didn't see this collection at my Target yet. So, I ordered From Target.com for $10.00. I have to admit that for this price I was expecting alot of these colors to be either uneven application or same old colors in many Holiday collections.
I was wrong wrong wrong! These beauties are amazing!
The brush is nice and thick. It makes for easy application.
Each polish swatch is two coats. And there are pictures in natural light and artificial light.
As always, colors will be some what different in person. But, this gives you an idea. Definitely something to invest in or purchase for the polish lover in your family.

There was many steps to this manicure. So I decided to make a picture video. I do better visually anyway. I do however have some picture of the manicure below.
