Every February 14th, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. Therefore, with Valentines Day upon us the idea of a Valentines themed 'Nail of the Day' seemed like a perfect idea!
Here in Australia we are well into summer and with this I've been craving brighter colours on my nails. Instead of opting for my standard racy red I went with glitter polish! I am quite a lover of glitter polishes nowadays, only discovering this love in recent years.
On Valentines Day I will be wearing:
ESSIE 'Tie The Knot' & Chi Chi 'Glitteratti'
- ESSIE 'Tie The Knot' is described as a 'pale and pretty buff colour'
I featured swatches of Essie's 'Tie The Knot' in a previous post, see here: Essie Nail Polish Haul + Swatches
- Chi Chi 'Glitteratti' is a 'flat-hexagonal multi-coloured glitter polish with a subtle pink gloss'
Chi Chi 'Glitteratti' has quickly become a standout favourite in my glitter polish collection & my ESSIE collection holds a special place in my heart. Chi Chi nail polish retails for $12.95 AUD and Essie for 18.95 AUD.
Although both brands are more expensive than Rimmel or Essence for example, the quality and staying power speaks for itself. This manicure usually lasts a good 5-7 days before chipping (and that's without applying a top coat) Unbelievable?!
It's true!

What are you favourite glitter polishes on the market? I would love some of your recommendations!
I hope your Valentines Day is spent with that special someone. Even if it's a date with ♥ Ryan Gosling ♥ in 'The Notebook' with Mr Cadbury Chocolate as chaperon.
Happy Valentines Day!
A very pretty take on Valentine's! Just wondering, where can you buy essie polishes in adelaide?
ReplyDeleteHi Annamaria :)
DeleteThanks for your sweet comment! I know that some nail salons sell Essie polish in Adelaide but your BEST avenue would be MYERS. That's where I have bought all the Essie's in my collection :) There is usually a smallish Essie section to choose from. Good luck, and let me know if you pick up any polishes in store.
Keep in touch!

Thanks so much for the advice, Kristal :) It made my day knowing they sell Essie polishes in Adelaide. Had no idea that it would be as simple as going to Myers, though!
DeleteNo worries Annamaria,
DeleteI'm glad to help out a fellow Essie polish lover! ;) Look forward in finding out what you pick out at Myers, there are way too many pretty colours to choose from. Good luck!
