Nails of the Week.

I’d been looking for a good, reflective silver nail polish for what seems like ever, after seeing a photo of the silver “mirror” nails in a post on tumblr. After researching and finding that those specific ones are quite expensive and only done at select salons, (they’re called Minx nails, if you were wondering), I nearly gave up hope on finding a great silver nail product. Most of the silver polishes I’d seen on the market either had shimmer or glitter in them, or weren’t metallic enough, and were sort of just… grey, which isn’t what I was looking for.

But then Essie came out with their “Mirror Metallics” collection, and I thought I’d give this color a try. It’s called “No Place Like Chrome” (punny, right?), and is exactly what I hoped it would be. It applied really nicely, and though it isn’t quite as reflective as its stick-on counterpart, it is very metallic and gives a similar effect. Plus, it’s way cheaper and I can do it myself! Overall, I’m really happy with it, so I highly recommend it if any of you have also been eyeing the mirror nails effect! x
